anything so irregularly done in matter of form, so
that the true intent and purpose of the said Act
may have effect:
And whereas it is considered that the said Pro-
clamation of the twentieth day of December, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, was
irregular or erroneous in not setting forth the said
name "The City of Dunedin" as the name of the
borough thereby constituted, instead of the said
name therein mentioned:
And whereas since the date of the said Proclama-
tion the Council of the said borough in all their acts
and proceedings have continued to use the said name
"The City of Dunedin :"
And whereas it is expedient to correct the said
irregularity or error, and to validate all and singular
the acts and proceedings of the said Council as
hereinafter mentioned:
Now, therefore, His Excellency, the Governor of
New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the colony, and in exercise and
in pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in
him by the said Act, doth hereby order that the said
Proclamation of the twentieth day of December, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, shall for
all purposes be read as if the same had originally set
forth the said name "The City of Dunedin" as the
name of the said borough thereby constituted, instead
of the name "The Borough of Dunedin" therein
mentioned; and His Excellency, by and with the
advice and consent and in exercise of the powers
and authorities aforesaid, doth hereby further order
that all and singular the by-laws, acts, deeds, and
proceedings whatsoever of the Council of the said
borough which have been passed, done, or executed
since the date of the said Proclamation, and in which
the said name "The City of Dunedin" has been
used by the said Council, shall have been and shall
be as valid and effectual to all intents and purposes
as if the said Proclamation had originally set forth
the name "The City of Dunedin" as the name of the
said borough.

Present :
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by the forty-seventh section of "The
Counties Act, 1876," it is enacted that any
person who considers himself aggrieved by his own
name or that of any other person being entered on
or omitted from the roll of the riding, or by the
number of votes allotted to him or to any other per-
son therein being more or fewer than that to which
he or such other person is entitled under that Act,
may, on or before the last day of May, apply for
relief to the Resident Magistrate's Court in the
riding; and that if there is no such Court, or more
than one in the riding, the Governor shall appoint
the Resident Magistrate's Court in which such
application shall be heard in each riding: And
whereas there was no such Court in the Riding of
Ngunguru, in the County of Whangarei, and the
Governor did not appoint the Resident Magistrate's
Court in which such applications should be heard for
the said riding: And whereas by the said Act it is
further enacted that within a period of twenty-one
days before or after the day appointed for the hold-
ing of any election, or of any meeting of Councillors,
or for the doing of any act, matter, or thing by the
said Act required to be done on or before a day
certain, it shall be lawful for the Governor in
Council to extend the time allowed for the holding
of such election or meeting of Councillors, or for
the doing of any such act, matter, or thing as aforesaid,
notwithstanding the day may have passed on which
the same ought to have been held or done, and to
adopt, or cause to be adopted, such measures as
may be necessary to remove any obstacle of a
technical or formal nature by which the carry-
ing out of the provisions of the said Act may be
impeded, and to supply any deficiency which may be
required to be supplied in order to enable the said
provisions to be duly carried out:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the powers and
authorities vested in him by the said Act, and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby order and declare that any
person who considers himself aggrieved by his own
name or that of any other person being entered on
or omitted from the roll of the aforesaid riding, or
by the number of votes allotted to him or to any
person thereon being more or fewer than that to
which he or such other person is entitled under the
said Act, may, on or before the twenty-ninth day
of June instant, apply for relief to the Resident
Magistrate's Court at Whangarei Township, and the
Resident Magistrate of such Court shall, by public
notice, appoint a time and place, on or after the
first day of July next, at which the Court shall
sit to hear all such applications, and may do and
perform all acts, matters, and things authorized
to be done and performed by the forty-eighth section
of the said Act; and the said Resident Magistrate
may adjourn such Court from time to time, but
such Court shall not sit after the twentieth day
of July next; and that the roll of the said riding,
when corrected, shall be signed by the Clerk of the
county, and shall come into force on the first day of
August, and shall be the electors' roll for the said
riding in force until a fresh roll is made, as by the
said Act is provided.
