New Zealand Gazette, to fix the times and places
within the district at which every District Court
shall be held:

And whereas by "The District Courts Act Amend-
ment Act, 1865," it is enacted that, as to the times
of holding such Courts, it shall be sufficient for the
Governor, if he shall so think fit, to fix the interval
only within which such Courts shall be held at each
place, and it shall in such case be lawful for the
Judge of such Court to fix the particular times and
days for the holding of such Courts, and from time
to time to alter the same, provided that such time
and day shall fall within the interval so fixed by the
Governor:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, do hereby, in pursuance and exer-
cise of the said power and authority, fix that sessions
of the District Court of Auckland shall be held in
the Supreme Courthouse, Auckland, at intervals of
not less than thirteen days nor more than twenty-
one days between the first day of each sittings of
such Court.

Governor, this fifth day of February,

proceedings of the University during the previous
year to the Governor, and such report shall contain
a full account of the income and expenditure of the

hundred and seventy-two, under the hand of His
Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.G.,
the then Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
prescribing the manner in which the said account

expedient that the said warrant should be rescinded,
and that the aforesaid account of the said University
should henceforth be audited in a different manner:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of
the power and authority conferred on me by the
said Act, and of all other powers enabling me in that
behalf, do hereby rescind the above-mentioned warrant
of twenty-third April, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-two, prescribing the manner in which
the said account of the said University shall be
audited, and in lieu thereof I do hereby direct that
the said account of the said University shall be
annually audited in the manner following, that is to
say: The Governor shall from time to time appoint
an Auditor for the purpose of auditing the said
account of the said University.

The said Senate shall before the fifteenth day of

account for the year ending the thirty-first day of
December then preceding, and the Treasurer or other
proper officer of the said University shall at such
time within or before the month of February, and at

such place as shall be appointed by the said Auditor,
attend before the said Auditor. The said Auditor shall,

or other officer aforesaid, produce and lay before the
Auditor the said account, accompanied with proper
vouchers in support of the same, and all books,
papers, and writings in the custody or power of the
said Senate relating thereto, and if the said account
be found correct the Auditor shall sign the same in
token of the allowance thereof; but if the Auditor
think there is just cause to disapprove of the said
account, or any part of the said account, he may
signify his disapproval thereof on the said account or
otherwise in such manner as he may find most
convenient.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this fifth day of February,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
