of District Court of Taranaki.

JAMES PRENDERGAST,
Administrator of the Government.

WHEREAS by "The District Courts Act, 1858,"
it is made lawful for the Governor, from time
to time, by notification in the 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 days shall fall within the interval so fixed by the
Governor:

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, the Admin-
istrator of the Government of the Colony of New
Zealand, do hereby, in pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, fix that, from and after the
first day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-one, sittings of the District Court of
Taranaki shall be held at New Plymouth at intervals
of not less than six days, nor more than seventeen
days, between the first day of each sitting of such
Court, in lieu of those previously fixed and appointed.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Administrator of the Government, this
seventeenth day of September, one thou-
sand eight hundred and eighty-one.
