PROCLAMATION.

By His Honor OSWALD CURTIS, Superintendent
of the Province of Nelson, in the Colony of
New Zealand, &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act passed by the Superinten-
dent and Provincial Council of the Province
of Nelson intituled "The Nelson Highways Act,
1872," it is amongst other things enacted that for
the purpose of electing members of the Board for
any District it shall be lawful for the Superintendent
from time to time if he shall think fit by Proclama-
tion in the Government Gazette to divide any District
or Districts into Sub-Districts, and to apportion the
number of members for the whole District between
such Sub-Districts as he shall think proper. And
whereas a certain District has been constituted under
the said Act called the Upper Motueka District.
And whereas by a certain proclamation bearing date
the eighteenth day of June, 1874, and issued under
my hand as Superintendent of the Province of Nel-
son, the said District was divided into two Sub-Dis-
tricts therein particularly mentioned and described.
And whereas it is expedient that the said Proclama-
tion should be revoked, and that the said District
should be divided into three Sub-Districts.

Now, therefore, I, the Superintendent of the Province of Nelson, pursuant to, and in exercise of the power and authority vested in me in that behalf by the said recited Act, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation of the eighteenth day of June, 1874, and proclaim and declare that the Upper Motueka District shall be divided into the following Sub-Districts, that is to say :—
