WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1867" it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of any Province by Proclamation published in the Government Gazette of each Province to declare that any complete parts of the several parts of the said Act numbered from two to twenty-two inclusive as he shall consider applicable shall extend and be applied to any town or place in such Province incorporated at the time of the passing of the said Act under any Act or Ordinance of the Legislature of such Province and in such Proclamation to fix a time at which such parts or any of them shall extend to any city, town, or place. And whereas at the time of the passing of the said recited Act the town of Hokitika was incorporated under the provisions of an Act of the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Canterbury intituled "The Hokitika Municipal Corporation Ordinance, 1867" and the boundaries thereof described in Schedule A to the said Ordinance. And whereas by an Act of the General Assembly intituled "The County of Westland Act, 1867" it is provided that all the powers which at the time of the passing of the said Act were vested in the Superintendent of the said Province either solely or with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Province shall within the said County become vested in the Governor in Council provided that the Governor in Council may from time to time delegate all or any of the said powers to such person or persons as he may think fit. And whereas by an Order in Council bearing date the eighth day of January 1868 His Excellency Sir George Grey, Governor of New Zealand by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony did delegate to me John Hall a Member of the Executive Council of the said Colony within the County of Westland all the powers heretofore of the Superintendent of the Province of Canterbury exercisable within the district comprised in the said County.

Now therefore I the said John Hall by virtue of the powers delegated to me as aforesaid and of all other powers enabling me in that behalf do hereby proclaim and declare that parts two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one and twenty-two of the said "Municipal Corporations Act, 1867" shall extend and be applied to the said town of Hokitika so incorporated as aforesaid and I do fix the second day of March next ensuing to be the time at which the said parts of the said Act shall extend to the said town of Hokitika.

Given under my hand at Hokitika this twenty-sixth day of February, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

JOHN HALL.
