have been so altered: And whereas by the said Act it is
provided, among other things, that in all cases in which no
provision or no sufficient provision is in the opinion of the
Governor made by the said Act, it shall be lawful for the
Governor from time to time, for the purpose of facilitating or
more effectually carrying into execution any of the objects of
the said Act, to make and prescribe all such regulations and
orders, either general or applicable to particular cases only, as
he shall think fit, and such regulations and orders from time to
time to revoke or alter as to the Governor shall appear to be
requisite: And whereas, in my opinion, there is no sufficient
provision in the said Act for the election of new Councils, or
for the formation of new electors' rolls for the ridings as afore-
said, or for effectually carrying into execution the objects of
the said Act, consequent upon the exercise of the powers firstly
hereinbefore mentioned: And whereas it is expedient that
regulations should be made under the hereinbefore recited pro-
vision for the purposes and in the manner hereinafter par-
ticularly set forth:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in me under the
hereinbefore in part recited provision of "The Counties Act,
1876," do hereby make the following regulations and orders,
and declare that the same shall only be applicable and extend
to the cases in such regulations mentioned, that is to say,

1. The persons in office as Clerks of the Councils of Wairarapa
   East and Wairarapa West, at the date when the herein-
   before mentioned Proclamation takes effect, shall forthwith,
   and not later than the seventeenth day of February, one
   thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, prepare new electors'
   rolls for the several ridings in the said counties, as the
   same are described in the said Proclamation. Robert Wilsone
   shall form the rolls for the County of Wairarapa East, and
   Henry Hilmar Wolters shall form the rolls for the County of
   Wairarapa West; and in case either of such persons shall refuse
   or neglect to act, the Governor may at once appoint another
   person or other persons to perform the duty hereby imposed,
   as may be necessary.

2. Such rolls shall be formed from the rolls of county electors
   in force in the said counties immediately before the date when
   the said Proclamation takes effect, and the name of every
   county elector upon an electors' roll in force within a county
   prior to the alteration of its boundaries as aforesaid shall be
   placed upon a new roll for the riding of the altered county in
   which his qualification as a county elector may be.

3. In making up such new rolls the said Clerks shall be
   guided by the provisions of sections forty-one and forty-two of
   Part III. of "The Counties Act, 1876," so far as the same may
   be applicable.

4. After the completion of the said rolls as aforesaid, each of
   them shall be signed by the person who formed the roll under
   these regulations, and each roll shall be verified by the statutory
   declaration of such person to the effect that, to the best of his
   knowledge and belief, the same is correct in the several particu-
   lars therein set forth.

5. When so signed and verified, such rolls shall at once come
   into force, and shall be the electors' rolls of the said ridings in
   force till fresh rolls are prepared in manner provided by law.

6. A copy of any roll so signed and verified by the person
   making the same, or any other person appointed for that purpose
   by the Governor, shall be evidence that the roll of which it
   purports to be a copy has been duly made until the contrary is
   proved, and no defect in the title of any person making or
   signing the same shall invalidate the roll.

7. For the purposes of elections in the ridings of the
   altered counties as aforesaid, the Governor may appoint all
   such Returning Officers as may be necessary, and all such
   elections shall be held and conducted in the manner provided
   by "The Regulation of Local Elections Act, 1876," but the fees
   to be paid to such Returning Officers, and all other expenses and
   charges of such elections or incidental thereto or consequent
   thereon, shall be paid and borne by the Councils of the counties
   in which they are held and incurred respectively.

8. The election of members for the ridings in each of the
   Counties of Wairarapa East and Wairarapa West shall be held
   on the twenty-fourth day of February, one thousand eight
   hundred and eighty-three, and the number of members to be
   elected for each such riding shall be that specified in the Third
   Schedule to the Proclamation hereinbefore mentioned.

9. The first meeting of the Councils elected for each of the
   said counties shall be held on the third day of March, one
   thousand eight hundred and eighty-three.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GOVERNMENT
IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested in him by
"The Electric Telegraph Act, 1875," and "The Electric
Telegraph Act 1875 Amendment Act, 1880," and of all other
powers enabling him in that behalf, His Excellency the Ad-

with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the

sand eight hundred and eighty-three.

SCHEDULE.

TELEGRAPHIC messages relating to sickness or death can be
transmitted from any, to any, telegraph office after ordinary
official hours on payment of double the ordinary tariff rates,
provided that the attention of the terminal office can be ob-
tained.

In addition to the payment of double tariff rates the follow-
ing scale of fees shall also be paid :-

1. For calling upon a Postmaster or Operator in charge to
   transmit a message after his ordinary hours of duty, and when
   the office is closed, a special fee of 2s. 6d., which amount shall
   be paid even if the telegram fails to reach its destination, but
   in the latter case the tariff rates collected will be refunded.

2. In addition to the charges for transmission, and fee to
   the Postmaster or Operator, a further charge of 2s. shall be
   paid for delivering a message any distance within a radius of a
   mile from the office.

3. All charges for ferries, tolls, or increased extra cost incurred
   by the department beyond the ordinary limits of delivery shall
   also be borne by the sender, and paid for at time of presenting
   the message. The sender of a message will, however, be held
   liable for any short collections should it be subsequently found
   that the amount collected for carriage in the first instance has
   not been sufficient.
