of twelve hundred pounds for the purpose of purchasing and
fencing land required to effect a deviation of the Tauranga-

misled by the said irregularity, and it is expedient to validate
the same :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of

declare that the ratepayers’ consent to the raising of the said

called into question by reason only of the irregularity afore-
said.

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularity or defect, and it is expedient to
validate the same :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of
