Christchurch.

NORMANBY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
ninth day of July, 1878.
Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Council of the City of Christ-
church, under the provisions of "The Rating
Act, 1876," objected to particular valuations appear-
ing on the valuation list of the said city, and such
objections came on to be heard before the Judge of
the Assessment Court duly appointed in that behalf,
but the same could not be finally determined until
the twenty-sixth day of April last, by reason of
which misadventure it became impossible to prepare
the burgess list and roll for the said city according
to the provisions and within the time contained and
limited in that behalf by "The Municipal Corpora-
tions Act, 1876:" And whereas it hath been made
to appear that the Town Clerk for the said city did,
on or before the eighth day of May last past, duly
make out the defaulters' list and burgess list
required by the said Act, and did, on the ninth day
of the said month, publicly notify that the said lists
were ready for inspection at his office, and that such
objections as were otherwise duly made under the
said Act were delivered at the office of the Town
Clerk on or before the twenty-third day of May
aforesaid, and that the Town Clerk did make and
sign a list of all such objections in the form required
by the said Act, and did allow it to be inspected
without fee by all persons interested therein during
all office hours from the twenty-fourth to the twenty-
eighth day of May inclusive; and that the Council
for the said city held a sitting on the thirty-first day
of May aforesaid, being the day appointed by the
Mayor, and of which he gave three days' public
notice, and did at such sitting hear and determine all
such claims and objections: And whereas it is
expedient to validate the said proceedings:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in
exercise and pursuance of the powers and authori-
ties vested in me by "The Municipal Corporations
Act, 1876," do hereby order that the times within
which the said several things are required to be done
by the said Act be extended from the days in that
behalf specified in the said Act up to and inclusive
of the several days and times hereinbefore in that
behalf respectively mentioned. And I do hereby
further order that the said several things so done as
aforesaid, so far as the same have been respectively
done after the times limited by the said Act, or have
otherwise been irregularly done in matter of form,
but not further or otherwise, shall be and the same
are hereby validated.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

ninth day of July, 1878.
Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Counties Act, 1876," it is
enacted that, within a period of twenty-one
days before or after the day appointed for the holding
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
obstacle of a technical or formal nature by which
the carrying out of the provisions of the aforesaid
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:
And whereas the valuation roll for the County of

of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the

of the Executive Council of the said colony, and for
the purpose of enabling the electors' roll for the
several ridings in the County of Hawke's Bay under
"The Counties Act, 1876," for the ensuing year to be
made, do hereby extend the times allowed by the said
Act in the manner hereinafter mentioned, and autho-
rize the measures hereafter specified to be adopted,

sixth section of the said Act, from the twelfth day of

and persons aggrieved may do all things directed
by the forty-seventh section on or before the seventh
day of September, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight.

The Resident Magistrate may, by public notice,
