And whereas the Avon Road Board Office has been removed to a building without the boundaries of the said electoral district, and the store of the said Thomas Primrose Baber is no longer available as a polling-place:

And whereas a writ was, on the twenty-seventh day of June, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four, issued, addressed to the Returning Officer for the said Electoral District of St. Albans, commanding him to proceed to the election of a member to serve in the House of Representatives for the said district; but such election cannot be held without the appointment of polling-places for the said electoral district:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby abolish the aforesaid polling-places, and I do hereby appoint

The Office of the Borough Council of St. Albans (principal), and

The National Mortgage and Agency Company’s Store, Addington,
