ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
fifth day of April, 1881.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS on the twenty-fourth day of Novem-
ber, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one,
Frederick Henry Daniel was, after a poll of the bur-
gesses of the Borough of Queenstown, in the County
of Lake, declared to be duly elected as Mayor of the
said borough: And whereas, in accordance with the
provisions of "The Regulations of Local Elections
Act, 1876," the said election was, on the eighteenth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-one, declared by the Resident Magistrate hold-
ing inquiry as by the said Act provided to be void:
And whereas, therefore, from such said eighteenth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-one, there was an extraordinary vacancy in the
said office of Mayor within the meaning of the forty-
sixth section of the said Act: And whereas the
Returning Officer of the said borough failed to
appoint a day for the election to fill such vacancy
within the time prescribed by the said forty-sixth
section: And whereas, owing to such failure by the
said Returning Officer, no election has yet been held,
and there is no power to hold the same except as is
hereinafter provided, and no sufficient provision is
made by the said Act or by "The Municipal Corpora-
tions Act, 1876," or any amendment thereof, for such
a case: And whereas by the twelfth section of "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," it is provided

(inter alia) that in any case in which no sufficient
provision is made by that Act the Governor may, by
Order in Council gazetted and publicly notified from
time to time, make provision for any such case:

And whereas, therefore, it is desirable that provision
should be made for the case of the election of the
Mayor of the said Borough of Queenstown, as is
hereinafter done:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in
exercise of the powers vested in him by the said
twelfth section of "The Municipal Corporations Act,
1876," and of all other powers in anywise enabling
him in that behalf, doth, with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the Colony of New Zea-
land, hereby order that the Returning Officer for the
Borough of Queenstown may, by public notice, appoint
a day, not less than twenty nor more than twenty-five
clear days from the gazetting of this Order in Council,
for the holding of an election for the office of Mayor
of the said borough, notwithstanding that the period
provided by the forty-sixth section of the said "Regu-
lation of Local Elections Act, 1876," has expired, but
so that such election shall be conducted in all respects
as if the same had been held within the said period.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
