NORMANBY, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

twenty-first day of September, 1878.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section thirty-nine of "The
Cemeteries Management Act, 1877," it is,
amongst other things, enacted that, where the Trus-
tees of any public cemetery, or the Trustees, Managers,
or other persons having the care and control of any
other cemetery, burial-ground, or place of burial
heretofore established, shall be desirous of adopting
the provisions of this Act, or any of them, in the place
of any Act or Ordinance, or any provisions of such
Act or Ordinance, heretofore regulating the manage-
ment of any such last-mentioned cemetery, burial-
ground, or place of burial, the said Trustees, Mana-
gers, or other persons may apply to the Governor in
Council in that behalf, who may thereupon cause
inquiry to be made in such manner as he shall think
fit as to the desirability of granting such petition,
and the Governor may, by Order in Council, direct
that the provisions of this Act, or any of them, shall
came into force in respect of any such cemetery,
burial-ground, or place of burial, or he may reject any
such application:

And whereas the Managers of the Mataura Bridge
Cemetery have applied to the Governor to bring the
said cemetery under the provisions of the said Act,
and due inquiry has been made in pursuance of the
said thirty-ninth section as to the desirability of
granting such petition:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise
of the powers and authorities vested in him, and by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, doth hereby order and
direct that all provisions of "The Cemeteries Manage-
ment Act, 1877," shall come into force in respect of
the public cemetery at Mataura Bridge, in the Pro-
vincial District of Otago, and known as the Mataura
Bridge Cemetery, as the same is described in the
Schedule hereto: And in further pursuance and
exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me,
I do, with the like advice and consent as aforesaid,
order and direct that this order shall come into force
on the first day of October next.

Regulations for preparing Electors' Roll, County of
Tauranga.

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Counties Act, 1876," herein
referred to as the said Act, it is, amongst other
things, enacted that, in all cases in which no provision,
or no sufficient provision, is, in the opinion of the
Governor, made by the said Act, it shall be lawful
for the Governor from time to time, for the purpose
of facilitating or more effectually carrying into exe-
cution any of the objects of the said Act, to make
and prescribe all such regulations and orders, either
general or applicable to particular cases only, as he
shall think fit, and such regulations and orders from
time to time to revoke or alter as to the Governor
shall appear to be requisite :

And whereas the whole of the said "Counties
Act, 1876," was not brought into operation in the
County of Tauranga until the ninth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight:

And whereas, in my opinion, no sufficient provi-
sion is made by the said Act for the preparation of
an electors' roll for the purposes of elections occur-
ring in the said county before a roll is made up in
accordance with the Third Part of the said Act, and
it is expedient to make regulations and orders appli-
cable thereto :

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the
powers and authorities vested in me by "The Coun-
ties Act, 1876," for the purpose of enabling the
electors' roll for the several ridings in the County of
Tauranga under the said Act to be made, do hereby
make the following regulations, and do order as
follows, that is to say, β€”

  1. The Clerk of the said county (herein referred
    to as "the Clerk") shall, on or before the seventh
    day of October next, do and perform all things
    directed by the forty-second section of the said Act.

  2. The forty-fifth section of the said Act shall apply
    to the roll prepared hereunder.

  3. The persons appointed by the Council, as pro-
    vided by section forty-three of the said Act, shall do
    and perform all things mentioned in that section, on
    or before the seventh day of October next.

  4. A copy of the rolls for the several ridings shall
    be kept and public notice given, and such rolls shall
    be open to public inspection, as directed by the forty-
    sixth section of the said Act, from the fifteenth day
    of October, to the twenty-second day of October
    next; and persons aggrieved may do all things
    directed by the forty-seventh section, on or before
    the twenty-ninth day of October, one thousand eight
    hundred and seventy-eight.

  5. The Resident Magistrate of the Resident Magis-
    trate's Court in the riding, or if there is no such
    Court, or more than one in the riding, the Resident
    Magistrate of the Resident Magistrate's Court ap-
    pointed by the Governor, pursuant to section forty-
    seven of the said Act, shall by public notice appoint
    a time and place, on or after the sixth day of
    November next, at which to hear applications as
    directed by the forty-eighth section of the said Act,
    and all things may be done and performed thereat
    which might be done at a sitting held in accordance
    with the said forty-eighth section. The Resident
    Magistrate may adjourn such Court from time to
    time, but such Court shall not sit after the ninth
    day of November next.

  6. The said roll so corrected shall be signed by the
    Clerk, and shall come into force on the twelfth day
    of November next, and shall be the electors' roll for
    the several ridings in force until a fresh roll is made,
    as by the said Act provided:

  7. Any copy of such roll signed by the Clerk shall be
    evidence that the said roll has been duly made under
    the provisions of the said Act, unless the contrary is
    proved; and no defect in the title to office of any
