   the licensee shall not assign, charge, or part with any such
   right, power, or privilege without the previous written con-

5. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
   time resumed by the Governor, and the licensee may be
   required to remove the boatshed and slip, at his own cost,
   without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to
   the licensee three calendar months' previous notice in writing.
   Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister
   and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the

6. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may
   be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing the boatshed

   revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without
   any notice to the licensee 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 licensee, and to all persons concerned or interested,
   that this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges
   thereby conferred, have been revoked and determined; and
   upon such revocation the Minister may cause the said boat-
   shed, and all other erections or buildings thereto belonging,
   to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any
   such removal from the licensee.
8. The erection of the boatshed and slip shall be deemed
   to be an acceptance by the licensee of the conditions of
   this Order in Council.

Validating the Public Notifications of the Special Order making the Rate for the Loan of £250 to drain certain Portions of Lease-in-perpetuity Crown Lands, applied for by the Hopelands Drainage Board.

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this tenth
day of June, 1908.

Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.,
PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Hopelands Drainage Board lately
proposed to raise a loan of two hundred and
fifty pounds, under “The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1901,”
for the purpose of draining certain sections of lease-
in-perpetuity Crown lands: And whereas the public
notification of the special order making the special
rate as security for the said loan was published in the
Woodville Examiner newspaper for four weeks, but was not
published once in each of the four weeks immediately
preceding the date of the subsequent meeting at which the
special order was confirmed, as required by section eleven of
“The Counties Act Amendment Act, 1903”: And whereas
it appears the ratepayers have not been misled by such
irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the said notifica-
tion:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers conferred by section ten of “The Local Bodies'
Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” and acting by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said
Dominion, doth hereby declare that the aforesaid public
notification of the said special 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.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

day of June, 1908.

Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.,

unavoidable circumstances, the preparation of the
rolls for the County of Grey, and the taking of certain
steps consequent on such preparation, cannot be made and
taken within the times limited by “The Counties Act, 1886,”
and it is expedient to extend the said times respectively:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the
powers conferred upon him by “The Counties Act Amend-
ment Act, 1903,” and acting by and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth
