PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency Colonel THOMAS
GORE BROWNE, Companion of
the most Honourable Order of
the Bath, Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief in and over
Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand, and Vice-Admiral of
the same, &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly, entitled 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 pur-
poses of the said Act, into such and so many
districts as he shall think fit, and every such
district shall be called by a distinct name, and
shall be a Registrar's District. Provided al-
ways 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 portion of it anew, into Dis-
tricts, or increasing the number, or altering
the boundaries of Districts, as from time to
time he may think requisite, and it was pro-
vided that the Districts already proclaimed
under "The Marriage Act, 1854," shall be
deemed to be Districts constituted under the
now reciting Act.

Now, therefore, I, the Governor of the said
Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance of the
power and authority in me vested by the said
in part recited Act, do hereby revoke every pro-
clamation at any time heretofore issued, ap-
pointing and declaring Registrars' Districts,
under the said "Marriage Act, 1854," and
the said "Marriage Act Amendment Act,
1858," or either of the said Acts, and I do, by
this Proclamation, divide the said Colony, for
the purposes of the said Act, into Districts,
the names and boundaries whereof shall be as
follows:
