WHEREAS, by a Proclamation bearing date the 18th day of January, 1844, the Colony of New Zealand, for the purposes of the Ordinance for establishing a Supreme Court, was divided into two districts, by the name of the Northern and Southern Districts:
And whereas it is expedient that the Southern District should be subdivided:
Now, therefore, I, the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, pursuant to the authority in me vested in that behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that that part of the Colony of New Zealand heretofore included within such Southern District shall, for the purposes of the said Ordinance, be divided into two districts, to be called the Middle and Southern Districts.

And that the Southern District shall include all that portion of the Colony of New Zealand which lies to the southward of the 42 degree of south latitude, together with so much of the sea adjacent thereto as lies within the jurisdiction of the Vice Admiral of New Zealand.

And whereas, by the said Supreme Court Ordinance, the Governor is empowered to assign to each of the districts into which the Colony may be divided, a Judge or Judges, who shall have within the same all the powers and jurisdiction thereby given to the Supreme Court:

Now, therefore, I, the Governor, in pursuance of such authority, do hereby proclaim and declare that I have assigned to the Middle District, Henry Samuel Chapman, Esq., Judge of the Supreme Court; and to the Southern
