intendent of the Province of SOUTHLAND, in the said Colony, did take place,
on the first day of December, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-four,
whereupon THEOPHILUS HEALE, Esquire,
was declared to be elected Superintendent of the said Province:

And whereas there are doubts, as to
the validity of such election, and it is
expedient to put an end to questions
respecting the validity of such election,
that a new election of Superintendent
for the said Province, should take place,
and that, for that purpose, the said
election should be disallowed:

Now, therefore, I, Sir GEORGE GREY,
Governor as aforesaid, do hereby, in
pursuance of the said recited powers in
me vested, disallow on behalf of Her
Majesty the said election of the said
THEOPHILUS HEALE, Esquire: And I
do hereby notify this disallowance, under
my hand and the seal of the Colony of
New Zealand, to the Speaker of the
Provincial Council of the said Province
of Southland.

Given under my hand, at the
Government House, at
Auckland, and issued under
the seal of the Colony of
New Zealand, this sixteenth
day of February,
in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five.

Knight Commander
of the most Honourable
Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in and over Her
Majesty’s Colony of New

of the same, &c., &c.

WHEREAS, by an Act of the Imperial Parliament, passed in the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth years of Her
Majesty’s Reign, entitled “An Act
respecting the establishment and government of Provinces of New Zealand,” and
to enable the Legislature of New Zealand
to repeal the Seventy-third Section
of an Act, entitled “An Act to grant a
Representative Constitution to the Colony
of New Zealand,” it is amongst other
things enacted, that, subject as therein
mentioned, the said recited Act of the
fifteenth and sixteenth Victoria shall
apply to all Provinces at any time existing
in New Zealand, in like manner and
subject to the same conditions as the
same applies to Provinces established by
the said first recited Act:

And whereas an election of a Superintendent of the Province of SOUTHLAND,
in the said Colony, did take place, on
the thirteenth day of January, One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-five,
whereupon JOHN PARKIN TAYLOR,
Esquire, was declared to be elected
Superintendent of the said Province:

And whereas there are doubts as to
the validity of such election, and it is
expedient to put an end to questions respecting the validity of such election, that
a new election of Superintendent for the
said Province, should take place, and that
for that purpose the said election should be disallowed:

Now, therefore, I, Sir GEORGE GREY,
Governor as aforesaid, do hereby, in
pursuance of the said recited powers in me
vested, disallow on behalf of Her Majesty
the said election of the said JOHN PARKIN
TAYLOR, Esquire: And I do hereby
notify this disallowance, under my hand
and the seal of the Colony of New Zealand,

Council of the said Province of Southland.

Given under my hand, at the

thousand eight hundred
and sixty-five.
