    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the Council or other proceeding whatsoever, and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the Council, and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred, have been revoked and determined.
