GLASGOW, Governor. ORDER IN COUNCIL

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twelfth day of January, 1893.

Present: His Excellency the Governor in Council,

WHEREAS by the two hundred and twenty-seventh section of “ The Licensing Act, 1881,” it is enacted that if, through any accidental or unavoidable impediment, misfeasance, or omission, anything required by the said Act to be done is omitted to be done or is not done within the time fixed, the Governor in Council may take all such measures as may be necessary for removing such impediment or rectifying such misfeasance or omission, and may validate anything which may have been irregularly done in matter of form, so that the intent and purpose of the said Act may have effect: And whereas, at the annual meeting of the Licensing Committee for the District of Wairio, held on the eighth day of June last, William Snodgrass applied for a renewal of an accommodation license for the Lake Te Anau Hotel, Te Anau, and the application was granted, and a certificate was thereupon issued for such renewal: And whereas the said William Snodgrass, through inadvertence, neglected to pay the necessary fee within the required time, but did subsequently pay the said fee, and thereupon the Treasurer of the Wallace County Council granted such license to the said William Snodgrass: Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of all powers enabling him in this behalf, and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby validate such certificate and the grant of the said license to the said William Snodgrass. Alex. WILLIS, Clerk of the Executive Council.
