ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this sixteenth day of October, 1908.

Present:

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

WHEREAS the district electors list for the Borough of Oamaru for the year 1908–9, which should have been made out as provided by section thirteen of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” was in error made in the form prescribed by the regulations made under the provisions of “The Municipal Franchise Reform Act, 1898,” with the exception that the numbers which were required to be filled in in the first column of the First Schedule to such regulations were omitted: And whereas such lists in such form were amended and corrected by the Council of the said borough at a meeting held on the twenty-fifth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and eight, as provided by section eighteen of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” but the formalities required by paragraph 9 of the regulations of the fourteenth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and one, made under such Act so far as relate to the signing and certifying thereto were not properly complied with, but the numbers have since been inserted in the said first column of the said lists, and they have been certified to and signed by the Mayor, two Councillors, and the Town Clerk of the said borough: And whereas the said lists, although not in the form of the First Schedule to the said regulations of the fourteenth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and one, contain all the information required thereby: And whereas no one has been misled, prejudiced, or affected by reason of such irregularities, and it is expedient to validate the aforesaid irregularities:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the powers conferred by section three hundred and sixty-eight of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908,” and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby direct and declare that the said lists so amended and corrected as aforesaid shall be and be deemed to be the district electors roll of the said borough in force from the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and eight, and shall be taken to be as valid as though the same were in the required form and all the necessary formalities had been complied with; and doth hereby declare that any proceedings, Acts, matters, or things already taken, done, or performed, or hereafter to be taken, done, or performed, shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
