8. Whenever, by reason of any alteration in the
   number of the ridings in a county in which the said
   Act is in operation, it shall be necessary to prepare
   new rolls before a general election of the Council,
   the following provisions shall have effect :—
   (1.) Upon such alteration taking effect, the
   Clerk shall, as soon as conveniently may be,
   make up from the electors' roll or rolls in force
   a new roll for such new or altered ridings, and
   shall place on the roll of each such riding the
   name of each voter who appears from the
   existing electors' rolls to be entitled to vote
   in such new or altered riding, and shall assign
   to each the number of votes to which he is
   entitled.
   (2.) Such new rolls, when corrected by the
   Council and signed by the Chairman and any
   two Councillors, shall be the electors' rolls for
   such new ridings until new rolls are made up
   in accordance with the said Act.
   (3.) The new rolls so formed shall come into
   force on the day fixed for a general election
   of the Council, and not previously.
9. Where a borough has been dissolved and
   included within a county under any law authorizing
   the same, a new electors' roll shall be made up, as
   soon as conveniently may be, by adding thereto the
   names of all persons who at the time of such disso-
   lution were entitled to vote in the borough.
10. Such names shall be inserted upon the roll of
    the riding or ridings of which the former borough
    then forms part, and shall be added thereto by the
    Clerk, who shall place on such roll or rolls the names
    of each person who was entitled to vote in the
    borough according to the burgess roll in force at
    the time of such dissolution, and shall assign to each
    the number of votes to which he was entitled under
    such last-mentioned roll.
11. Where any portion of a county is added to a
    borough, then the existing roll or rolls in force in
    any riding or ridings affected thereby shall be altered,
    as soon as conveniently may be, by the Clerk omitting
    therefrom the names of all persons who appear in the
    existing electors' rolls to be entitled to vote in the
    portion so added to the borough.
12. When a new roll or rolls shall have been made
    under the Regulations 9, 10, and 11, the same, when
    corrected by the Council, and signed by the Chair-
    man and any two Councillors, shall be the electors'
    rolls in the riding or ridings to which they relate
    until new rolls are made up in accordance with the
    said Act. The rolls made under the said regulations
    shall come into force when corrected and signed as
    aforesaid.
13. For the purposes of these regulations the term
    "borough" means any borough constituted under
    "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," and in-
    cludes any Municipal Corporation constituted under
    any other Act or Ordinance.
14. Any copy of an electors' roll made or altered
    under these regulations, signed by the Clerk, shall
    be evidence that the said roll has been duly made
    under the provisions of the said Act, unless the con-
    trary is proved; and no defect in the title to office
    of any person making or signing such roll shall
    invalidate such roll.
15. In any case where the Governor shall be satisfied
    that by inadvertence any error has occurred in
    describing the boundaries of a riding, whether such
    error has occurred prior to the making of these regula-
    tions or subsequent thereto, or that any omission has
    been made in such description, the Governor may
    cause such error to be rectified by a notification in
    the New Zealand Gazette and in at least one news-
    paper circulating in the county containing such
    riding.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this tenth day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight.
