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 removing
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 in the month of April last a Licensing Com-
mittee for the Licensing District of Waipu was elected:
And whereas the said Committee elected Niel Campbell to
be its Chairman: And whereas the said Niel Campbell, as
such Chairman, appointed the fourteenth day of May instant
to be the day on which a poll should be taken within the

of the said Committee for the said district has been declared
to be void, but nevertheless a poll was taken within the said
Waipu Licensing District on the said fourteenth day of May
instant, as appointed by the said Chairman: And whereas
it is expedient to validate the taking of such poll:
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

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-
second 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 re-
moving 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 of ratepayers which
should have been taken in the Licensing District of Green-
stone, in the Provincial District of Otago, during the month
of March, was not so taken, but subsequently the fifteenth
day of May instant was fixed for taking such poll by
the Acting Chairman of the Licensing Committee for the
said district, and a poll of the ratepayers was then taken in
the usual manner: And whereas it appears expedient to
validate the taking of the said poll in manner hereinafter
appearing:
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

validate the taking of the said poll on the said fifteenth
day of May instant as aforesaid; saving, however, as far as
practicable, to all persons concerned, the like rights and
remedies as would have been available had the said poll
been taken during the month of March last in the ordinary
course.
