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
impediment, misfeasance, or omission, anything

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 the election of Licensing Committees for the
Districts of Alfredton, Masterton, and Castlepoint, which
should have been held during the month of February last,
was not so held, no date having been appointed by the
Returning Officer for the said districts for the holding of the
said elections : And whereas it appears expedient to extend

Now, therefore, His Excellency Sir William Francis Drum-

in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred by the said Act, and of all other powers enabling

shall be had and taken, mutatis mutandis, in all respects as
if the said elections were about to be held in the usual and
regular course in the said districts.
