Wm. F. DRUMMOND JERVOIS,
Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this eighteenth day of September, 1888.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Council of the County of Wairarapa South, upon a petition presented to the said Council by sundry ratepayers of the Featherston Road District, resolved, on the twenty-seventh day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, to make a special order dividing the said road district into two road districts; and the twenty-eighth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, was appointed as the date for confirming the said special order:

And whereas, in consequence of the passing of such resolution as aforesaid, the Featherston Road Board resolved that no steps should be taken to hold the ordinary elections of members of the said Board during the first week in May last, as required by “The Road Boards Act, 1882:”

And whereas the said County Council, at a meeting held on the twenty-eighth day of April last, decided to defer the confirmation of the aforesaid resolution, and the Featherston Road Board did thereupon proceed to hold an election of members of the said Road Board: And whereas it appears expedient to validate such election:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in exercise of the powers vested in him by “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” doth hereby order and declare that the election of four members of the Featherston Road Board, held on the twenty-first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, shall be and the same is hereby validated in so far as the said election was invalid by reason of its being held after the time fixed by the said Act.

2. Licenses issued as aforesaid shall entitle the person named therein to fish in any of the said waters from the first day of October in any one year to the fifteenth day of April in the year following; but no such license shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any person without his consent.
