Redefining Boundaries of Awatere and Wairau Road
Districts, County of Marlborough.

ONSLOW, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this ninth
day of January, 1890.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE E. MITCHELSON PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Road Boards Act, 1882" (herein-
after termed "the said Act"), it is, among other
things, enacted that all road districts and highway districts
existing under the provisions of the Acts and Ordinances
thereby repealed should, notwithstanding any defect in their
constitution, be deemed to be road districts as therein
mentioned; and by the said Act it is also provided that the
Colonial Secretary should, as soon as conveniently might be
after the coming into operation of the said Act, by notices in
the Gazette, define the boundaries of all road districts in
existence on the coming into operation of the said Act, and
of the subdivisions thereof, as they existed on the date of
such notice:

And whereas under the authority lastly hereinbefore re-
cited, and after the coming into operation of the said Act,
the Colonial Secretary did, by notice published in the
Gazette of the thirtieth day of April, one thousand eight

hundred and eighty-three, define the boundaries of the
Awatere Road District and the Wairau Road District in the
Marlborough County, and also the subdivisions of the said
several road districts:

And whereas a portion of the Taylor Pass Road, which
then was included in the boundaries of the Awatere Road
District, was by error included in the boundaries of the
Wairau Road District, so defined and published as aforesaid:

And whereas by the said Act it is also provided that in any
case in which no sufficient provision is made by the said Act,
or where anything is irregularly done in matter of form, the
Governor may, by Order in Council, gazetted and publicly
notified from time to time, make provision for any such case
so irregularly done in matter of form, so that the true intent
and purpose of the said Act may have effect:

And whereas it hath been made to appear that the said
portion of the Taylor Pass Road, which is particularly
described in the First Schedule hereto, ought of right to
have been included in the boundaries of the Awatere Road
District, so defined as aforesaid, and not in those of the
Wairau Road District, as hereinbefore mentioned, and that
the same was included in the notice published in the Gazette
as aforesaid by error, which ought to be rectified, and also
that the several matters hereinafter provided for, and for
which no sufficient provision is made by the said Act, should
be provided for as and in manner hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in him by the said Act, to the end that the
true intent and purpose thereof may have effect, and by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby order and declare that the said
notice so published in the Gazette of the thirtieth day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, shall be
and the same is hereby amended by including within the
boundaries of the Awatere Road District, as defined as
aforesaid, the portion of Taylor Pass Road particularly
described in the First Schedule hereto; and in further pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority aforesaid,
and by and with the advice and consent aforesaid, doth also
order and declare that the boundaries of the said Wairau
and Awatere Road Districts, and of the several subdivisions
thereof, shall be and be deemed to have been those respec-
tively set out and described in the Second Schedule hereto,
and as if the same had been so described in the said Gazette
of the thirtieth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-three.
