conferred by the said Act, and of all other powers enabling

powers and authorities, and with the like advice and consent
as aforesaid, His Excellency doth hereby further order and
declare that the Chairman of the Licensing Committee of
the said district 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 the said district.
