"The Militia Act, 1858," it is enacted that
it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council
from time to time to constitute throughout the
Colony or in any part thereof, Militia Districts,
and such Districts from time to time to abolish,
and the boundaries thereof to vary, and to desig-
nate the Militia of any such District by the
name of a Regiment, Battalion, Corps, or Com-
pany, as he shall think fit,

And Whereas, at an Executive Council held
at the Government House, at Auckland afore-
said, on the 13th day of January last, His Ex-
cellency the Governor, by and with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council, did con-
stitute (amongst other Militia Districts) a Mi-
litia District to be called and known by the
name of the

NAPIER MILITIA DISTRICT,

and did define the boundaries of such District
to be the circumference of a circle, whereof the
radius extends twenty miles from the Police
Office in the town of Napier, and did designate
the Militia within such District by the name of
a Battalion.

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Gover-
nor, by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council, in exercise of the above re-
cited power, doth by the present Order, vary
the boundaries of the said District of Napier,
and doth order that such District shall com-
prehend, and be commensurate with, the Pro-
vince of Hawke's Bay.
