WHEREAS by an Act of the General

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 always, that the
Governor may, at any time, revoke the whole
or any part of any such Proclamation, and
issue a new Proclamation, dividing the Colony
or any portion of it, anew into Districts, or
increasing the number, or altering the bounda-
ries of Districts, as from time to time he may
think requisite; and it is provided that the
Districts existing at the time of the passing of
the said Act should, until duly altered, be
deemed to be Districts proclaimed under the
said Act.

Now, therefore, I, the Governor of the said
Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance of the
