(1.) On the working-day immediately preceding Christmas Day and on the working-day immediately preceding New Year’s Day, when there shall be no fixed closing-hour;

(2.) When any day is generally observed as a holiday in the district, any shop that is closed not later than 1 o’clock on that day and that is usually closed for the statutory half-holiday on another day of the week may remain open on the latter day until the hour fixed by this notice for the day on which the holiday is observed, provided that should such day fall on a Saturday, then the closing-hour for any such shop on Thursday in that week shall be 5.30 p.m., and on Friday 9 p.m. ; and

(3.) Should the occupier of any shop affected by this requisition observe (pursuant to section 11 (2) of the Shops and Offices Act, 1908) Saturday as the statutory closing-day, then and in such case the closing-hour on Thursdays for any such shop shall be 5.30 p.m., and on Fridays 9 p.m. :

And whereas the Gisborne Borough Council has certified that the signatures to such requisition represent a majority of the occupiers of all the shops in each of the trades of (1) bookseller, (2) stationer, and (3) fancy-goods dealer within the Borough of Gisborne :
