THE HONOURABLE THE PREMIER PRESIDING 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 the local option poll which should have been
taken in the Licensing District of Kaiwaka, in the Provin-
cial District of Auckland, during the month of May last,
was not so taken, no date having been appointed by the
Chairman of the Licensing Committee of the said district
for taking of the said poll: And whereas it appears expe-
dient to extend the time for taking the said poll in the dis-
trict aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency Sir James Prendergast, the
Administrator of the Government of the Colony of New Zea-
land, 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 District of Kaiwaka, in the Provincial District
of Auckland, to be taken under the provisions of section
forty-six of the said Act, shall take place on the sixteenth
day of the month of May next: And in exercise of the
like 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 Com-
mittee of the said district shall give the like notices, and
such proceedings 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.
