Validating Election of Native Assessor under Licensing Acts.

WM. F. DRUMMOND JERVOIS,
Governor.

WHEREAS by regulations made under “The Licensing Act, 1881,” and “The Licensing Act Amendment Act, 1882,” it is provided that, where any accidental or unavoidable impediment or omission shall have happened, the Governor may, by warrant under his hand, take all such measures as may be necessary for removing such impediment or rectifying such misfeasance or omission, or may declare all or any of the proceedings at or for any election held under the said Acts valid as to and notwithstanding such impediment, misfeasance, or omission; and that every warrant issued under this regulation shall be published in the Kahiti and New Zealand Gazette, and shall state specifically the nature of the impediment, misfeasance, or omission: And whereas on or about the twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four, Himiona te Kani was nominated as Assessor for the Native Licensing District of Tolago, and was on the said twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four, declared duly elected as Assessor for the said Native licensing district by Martin Dudley Stagpoole, the person conducting the election: And whereas the said Martin Dudley Stagpoole had no authority to conduct such election, not having been appointed Returning Officer, Substitute Returning Officer, or Deputy Returning Officer for the said District of Tolago; but such election was in other respects duly conducted, and it is expedient to validate the same:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of all powers enabling me in this behalf, do hereby validate the election of Himiona te Kani to be the Assessor for the Native Licensing District of Tolago, so conducted as aforesaid.
