Mayor of the said borough appointed a sitting of the

a public holiday the said Council did not meet until
the twenty-fifth day of May last; and at such ad-
journed meeting the burgess list so prepared as afore-
said was amended, and all alterations were initialed
by the Mayor, and such burgess list was signed and
certified by the Mayor and two other members of the
Council, as required by the forty-sixth section of "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876:" And whereas it
is expedient to validate the said proceedings:

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert Robin-
son, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, and in exercise and pur-
suance of the powers and authorities vested in me by
"The Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," do hereby
order that the times within which the said several
things are required to be done by the said Act be
extended from the days in that behalf specified in
the said Act up to and inclusive of the several days
and times hereinbefore in that behalf respectively
mentioned: And, with the like advice and consent,
I do hereby further order that the said several things
so done aforesaid, so far as the same have been
respectively done after the times limited by the said
Act, or have otherwise been irregularly done in
matter of form, but not further or otherwise, shall
be and the same are hereby validated, and that the
burgess roll so amended as aforesaid shall be the
burgess roll of the said borough.
