A PROCLAMATION
Appointing certain Districts under the Marriage Act.
By His Excellency Sir George Grey,
Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c., &c.
WHEREAS by the Marriage Act Amendment Act, 1858, it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor at any time, by Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to divide the Colony of New Zealand for the purposes of the said Act into such and so many Districts as he may think fit, and that every such District shall be called by a distinct name, and shall be a Registrar’s District; and it is provided that the Governor may at any time revoke the whole or any part of such Proclamation and issue a new Proclamation dividing the Colony or any part of it anew into Districts or increasing the number or altering the boundaries of Districts as from time to time he may think requisite: And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and issued bearing date the sixth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, the Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and authority, did amongst others constitute two Districts for the purposes of the said Act called the Nelson District, and the Wairau District, the boundaries whereof respectively were therein set forth, which said Proclamation came into operation, and took effect on the First day of October, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine: And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of the said Proclamation as relates to the said two Districts, and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised within such Districts:
Now, therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of the said Colony, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said recited Act, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation so far as relates to the Nelson District and the Wairau District.
