Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the

powers conferred by section ten of “The Local Bodies’
Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” and acting by and with the
consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth

order shall be deemed and taken to be as valid as though
the said notification had been properly published, and that
the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called
in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
