the said Act also enacts that the Lyttelton Harbour
Board shall consist of ten members, of whom, inter
alia, two shall be elected by the ratepayers of the
City of Christchurch and one by the ratepayers of
the Borough of Lyttelton: And whereas by the
thirty-third section of the said Act it is provided that
all elections of members of the Board who are re-
quired to be elected by the ratepayers entitled to
elect members of a local governing body shall be
held in the manner provided by "The Regulation of
Local Elections Act, 1876," or of any Act amending
the same; and the thirty-fourth section of the said
Act also provides that where an elective member is
required to be elected by the ratepayers entitled as
hereinbefore mentioned, then, subject to the pro-
visions of the said Act, the election of such members
shall be held and conducted in the same manner, and
the proceedings shall be the like as to the number of
votes to be given, as are now or shall from time to
time hereafter be required and provided with respect
to the election of members of such local governing
body: And whereas the said Act further provides that
"The Regulation of Local Elections Act, 1876," shall
be incorporated with the said Act: And whereas by
the tenth section of "The Regulation of Local
Elections Act, 1876," it is enacted that not less than
fourteen clear days before any election to fill an
ordinary vacancy, the Returning Officer shall give
public notice thereof, and shall in such notice appoint
a place within the district, and a day, not less than
five nor more than ten days after such publication,
for the nomination of candidates: And whereas by
mistake of the respective Returning Officers of the
City of Christchurch and the Borough of Lyttelton,
and by reason of other misadventures, the notices re-
quired by law to be given for the election of members
of the said Harbour Board were not given fourteen
days before the elections as required by law, that for
the City of Christchurch being given on the first day
of February instant, as appears by advertisement
inserted in the Globe newspaper of that date, and
that for the Borough of Lyttelton being given on the
same date, as appears by advertisement inserted in the
Lyttelton Times newspaper of the third day of Feb-
ruary instant: And whereas certain candidates were
nominated at Christchurch to be members of the said
Board on the seventh day of February instant, and
on the tenth day of February instant an election was
held in the City of Christchurch, and a poll taken,
whereat Robert Allan and Henry Sawtell were
declared to be duly elected as members of the said
Lyttelton Harbour Board: And whereas on the
seventh day of February instant, in the Borough of
Lyttelton, Hugh Percy Murray-Aynsley was nomi-
nated to be a member of the said Board, and, there
being no other candidate proposed, was declared
duly elected: And whereas by the said Act it is
enacted that, in any case in which by any misadven-
ture 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, duly gazetted, 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 purpose of this Act
may have effect: And whereas it is expedient that
the power conferred by the last-recited section should
be exercised:

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, the Ad-
ministrator of the Government of the Colony of
New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by the herein-
before in part recited Act, and by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the

Validating Election of Members of Lyttelton Har-
bour Board.

JAMES PRENDERGAST,
Administrator of the Government.
