List and Burgess List, Borough of Lawrence.

NORMANBY, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
seventeenth day of May, 1878.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the twelfth section of "The Muni-
cipal Corporations Act, 1876," it is, amongst
other things, provided that the Governor may, by
Order in Council, gazetted and publicly notified,
extend the time within which anything is required to
be done by the said Act, so that the true intent and
purpose of the said Act may have effect: And
whereas the fortieth section of the said Act it is
enacted that the Town Clerk of every borough shall,
on or before the thirty-first day of March in each
year, make out from the rate-book a list, to be called
the "Defaulters' list," of the names, arranged in the
alphabetical order of the surnames, of all persons who
have not then paid all the rates which, on or before
the thirty-first day of December previous, they were
then liable to pay: And by the forty-first section of
the said Act it is enacted that the Town Clerk of
every borough shall, on or before the thirty-first day
of March in each year, make out, in the manner in the
said section mentioned, from the valuation roll, a
certain list, to be called the "Burgess list:" And by
the forty-second section of the said Act it is enacted
that the Town Clerk shall keep the burgess list in
his office, and allow it to be inspected without fee by
all persons interested therein during all office hours
until the fifteenth day of April inclusive: And by
the forty-third section of the said Act it is enacted
that all objections to the burgess list must be
delivered at the office of the Town Clerk on or before
the fifteenth day of April: And by the forty-fourth
section of the said Act it is enacted that the Town
Clerk shall make and sign a list of all such objections,
and shall keep such list in his office, and allow it to
be inspected without fee by any person interested
therein during all office hours from the sixteenth to
the twenty-first day of April inclusive: And by the
forty-fifth section of the said Act it is enacted that
the Borough Council shall hold a sitting upon a day
between the twenty-second and thirtieth days of
April, both inclusive, to be appointed by the Mayor,
and of which he shall give three days' public notice,
for the purpose of determining all claims to vote and
objections:

And whereas it has been made to appear to His
Excellency the Governor that, by accident, the things
required to be done by the said recited sections forty,
forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, and forty-four, in
connection with the making of the defaulters'
lists and burgess lists or rolls for East Ward,
Middle Ward, and West Ward, in the Borough
of Lawrence, were not done until after the times
required by the said sections, and it is expedient
to validate the things so done after the time required,
and to extend the time for doing any of the things
required to be done by the forty-fifth section:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him by the twelfth section of the said Act,
and by and with the advice and consent of the Ex-
ecutive Council of the Colony of New Zealand, doth
hereby validate all things done under the fortieth,
forty-first, forty-second, forty-third, and forty-fourth
sections of the said Act, in and about the making
of a defaulters' list and burgess roll for the year
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight
for the said borough, notwithstanding the same
were done after the times thereby required: And
with the like advice and consent doth hereby ex-
tend the time for holding the sitting of the Law-
rence Borough Council, in accordance with the forty-
fifth section of the said Act, to a day between the
twenty-second and thirty-first days of May instant,
both inclusive, which day shall be appointed by the
Mayor, and of which notice shall be given as in the
said section provided.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
