At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by the twelfth section of “The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876,” it is
enacted that, in any case in which no sufficient
provision is made by the said Act, or in which, by any
misadventure or accident, anything is at any time
done after the time required by the said Act, or is
otherwise irregularly done in matter of form, the
Governor may, by Order in Council, gazetted and
publicly notified, from time to time make provision
for any such case, or may extend the time within
which anything is required to be done, or may
validate anything so done after the time required, or
so irregularly done in matter of form, so that the true
intent and purposes of the said Act may have effect:
And whereas the said borough is divided into wards,
but by misadventure a burgess roll for the whole
borough has been prepared instead of a separate bur-
gess roll for each ward, as is required by section forty-
nine of the said Act: And whereas in making such
burgess roll the provisions of Part III. (excepting
those of section forty-nine) of the said Act have been
complied with, and it is necessary to make provision
