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 delay in the receipt of the letters
notifying that the first meeting of the Licensing Committee
for the District of Grey has been fixed and appointed to be
held at the Courthouse, at Greymouth, at noon, on Satur-
day, the twenty-ninth day of March last, such first meeting
could not be held at the time so fixed and appointed: And
whereas it is expedient to fix and appoint another time at
which such first meeting shall be held:
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 fix
and appoint Saturday, the seventh day of June next, at
noon, to be the time, and the Courthouse at Greymouth to
