ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this first day
of May, 1888.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two hundred and twenty-seven
of “The Licensing Act, 1881” (herein termed “the
said Act”), it is provided that if, through any accidental or
unavoidable impediment, misfeasance, or omission, anything
required by the said Act to be done is omitted to be done,
or is not done within the time fixed, the Governor in Council
may take all such measures as may be necessary for remov-
ing such impediment or rectifying such misfeasance or
omission, and may validate anything which may have been
irregularly done in matter of form, so that the intent and
purpose of the Act may have effect:

And whereas the local option poll which should have been
taken in the Licensing Districts of Hawera, Borough of
Hawera, Ngai re, and Waimate, in the Provincial District of
Taranaki, respectively, during the month of March, was not
so taken, no date having been appointed by the Chairman of
each of the Licensing Committees of the said districts for
taking of the said poll: And whereas it appears expedient
to extend the time for taking the said poll in each of the
districts aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency Sir William Francis Drum-
mond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred by the said Act, and of all other powers enabling
him in this behalf, and by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
order and declare that the next poll of the ratepayers of the
Licensing Districts of Hawera, Borough of Hawera, Ngai re,
and Waimate, in the Provincial District of Taranaki, to be
taken under the provisions of section forty-six of the said Act,
shall take place on the twenty-second day of the month of
May instant; and in exercise of the like powers and
authorities, and with the like advice and consent as afore-
said, His Excellency doth hereby further order and declare
that the Chairman of each of the Licensing Committees of
the said districts shall give the like notices, and such pro-
ceedings shall be had and taken, mutatis mutandis, in all
respects as if the said poll were about to be taken in the
usual and regular course in each of the said districts.
