THE HONOURABLE R. J. SEDDON PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Rating Act, 1894,” it is enacted
that, if the local body fails through misadventure or
accident to do anything which by that Act is required to be
done in a fixed time, the Governor may, by an Order in
Council, published in the Government Gazette, and publicly
notified, extend the time for doing such thing, and may by
any such Order 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 the Valuer for the Borough of Ross inadvertently omitted to prepare, sign, and transmit to the
Borough Council of Ross, being the local authority of the
said borough, before the fifteenth day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-six, the valuation-list of
the said borough, as required by the eighth section of the

Now, therefore, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the power and
authority vested in me by the said Act, and by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said
colony, do hereby declare that the said valuation-list shall be
deemed to be valid, notwithstanding the delay in preparing,
signing, and transmitting the said list to the said Borough
Council.
