A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Resident Magistrates' Jurisdiction Extension Act, 1862," it is enacted that the limits of jurisdiction of any Resident Magistrate's Court within the Colony may be extended in manner therein set forth; and it is further enacted that the second and third sections of the said Act shall come into force in respect of any Resident Magistrate's Court, on a day to be determined by a Proclamation in the Government Gazette, pursuant to an Order of the Governor in Council:

And whereas by a proclamation bearing date the twenty-third of November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the first day of December then next ensuing was fixed to be the day on and from which the said second and third sections of the said "Resident Magistrates' Jurisdiction Extension Act, 1862," should come into force to the limit of jurisdiction of one hundred pounds, in respect of the Resident Magistrate's Court at Cobden, in the District of Westland, in the Province of Nelson: And whereas it is expedient to revoke the same and to make other provision in lieu thereof:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of New Zealand, in pursuance of an Order in Council of even date herewith, do hereby revoke the said proclamation of the said twenty-third day of November last, and proclaim and declare that the eleventh day of February next, shall be the day on and from which the second and third sections of the said "Resident Magistrates' Jurisdiction Extension Act, 1862," shall come into force to the limit of jurisdiction of one hundred pounds, in respect of the Court of the Resident Magistrate exercising jurisdiction within the limits of the Nelson South-west Gold Fields, in the Province of Nelson.
