District Licensing Committee.

ONSLOW, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fourth day
of June, 1889.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the two hundred and twenty-seventh
section of "The Licensing Act, 1881" (hereinafter
termed "the said Act"), it is enacted 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 said Act may have effect:
And whereas, owing to a change in the office of Clerk of the
Licensing Committee for Pahiatua Town District Licensing
Committee, the notices of the annual licensing meeting of
the said Committee, to be held in June next, were not pub-
lished within the period required by the said Act and its
amendments, and such notices were signed by Henry Wil-
liam Briggs, Acting Clerk of the said Committee: And
whereas it appears expedient to validate the publication
in manner aforesaid of the said notices:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
conferred by the said Act, and of all other powers enabling
him in this behalf, and acting with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
validate the publication of the notices of the annual licen-
sing meeting of the Pahiatua District Licensing Committee,
given by the said H. W. Briggs, Acting Clerk of the said
Committee as aforesaid, and doth hereby order and declare
that the like consequences shall ensue, and the like pro-
ceedings be had and taken, as if the said notices had been
regularly given and published as by the said recited Acts
required.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
