Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Hospitals and Charitable Institu-

elected a member to the Board of the said district: And
whereas, owing to there being no Council of the said County
in existence at the time when such election should have
been made, no such member was elected, and doubts have
arisen whether, in the absence of such member, the meeting
of the Board of the said Thames Hospital District, held on
the fifth November instant, and the meeting of the Board of
the United District of Thames, held on the seventeenth
November instant, were valid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony

Charitable Institutions Act, 1885," doth hereby order and
declare that the meetings of the Board of the Thames Hos-

all the proceedings thereat to be effectual, notwithstanding
