WHEREAS by the one hundred and seventh section of “The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1889” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), it is, among other things, enacted that where it is made to appear to the Governor in Council that the Legislature of any British possession, other than New Zealand, has made satisfactory provision for the protection of inventions, designs, and trade-marks, or any of them, patented or registered in New Zealand, the Governor may from time to time, by Order in Council, apply all or any of the provisions of the last-preceding section of the said Act relating to the protection of inventions, designs, and trade-marks protected or registered in England, with such variations or additions, if any, as to the Governor in Council may seem fit, to inventions, designs, and trade-marks, or any of them, patented or registered in such British possession; and by the said first-mentioned section it is also provided that an Order in Council made under the said section shall, from a date to be mentioned for the purpose in the order, take effect as if its provisions had been contained in the said Act; but the Governor in Council may revoke any such Order in Council:

And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor in Council that the Legislature of the Colony of Victoria has, under and by virtue of the provisions of “The Patents Act, 1890,” made satisfactory provision for the protection of inventions for which protection has been applied for in New Zealand, and also has, under and by virtue of the provisions of “The Trade-marks Act, 1890,” made like provision for the protection of trade-marks applied for or entitled to protection in New Zealand:

And whereas it is expedient that provision should be made, under the provisions of the hereinbefore-recited section of the said Act, for the application of the provisions of the one hundred and sixth section of such Act to inventions and trade-marks patented or registered in the Colony of Victoria, subject, however, as hereinafter mentioned:

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 one hundred and seventh section of the said Act, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby order and declare that all the provisions of the one hundred and sixth section of “The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1889,” relating to the protection of inventions and trade-marks patented or registered in England shall apply to inventions patented and trade-marks registered in the Colony of Victoria, subject, however, to this variation: that application shall be made in New Zealand in the case of a patent within six months, and in the case of a trade-mark within four months, from the date of application for protection in the Colony of Victoria.

And in further pursuance and exercise of the power and authority aforesaid, and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, it is ordered that this present Order in Council shall take effect from and after the first day August next.

Validating Applications for Licenses.

GLASGOW, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of July, 1892.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR 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 meeting of the Licensing Committee for the District of Waimate was fixed for the sixth day of June instant: And whereas applications for renewals of licenses to be granted at the said meeting have been made by Henry Middleton, Jeremiah O’Leary, Catherine Kett, and Samuel Kerr, for a transfer of a license from John Dooley to Peter Dooley, and for a new license to Peter Dooley in respect of the premises so transferred: And whereas it appears that notices of such applications have been delivered and advertised as is provided by the said Act, but that, owing to accidental omissions on the part of the Clerk of the said Committee, a list of notices of the said applications was not posted inside and outside the Courthouse at Waimate, being the place where the Committee held their meeting, as required by law:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, 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 applications made by the said Henry Middleton, Jeremiah O’Leary, Catherine Kett, Samuel Kerr, John Dooley, and Peter Dooley as aforesaid shall not be deemed invalid by reason only that the said several notices were not fixed and posted in the manner required by the said Act and its amendments; and doth also declare that the proceedings of the said Licensing Committee held on the sixth day of June instant, or at any adjournment thereof, are hereby validated so far as the validity thereof may depend on the fixing and posting and advertising of the said notices as aforesaid.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
