A PROCLAMATION,
Appointing Districts under the "Registration
Act, 1858."

the Most Honorable Order of the
Bath, Governor and Commander-
in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies and Vice-Admiral
of the same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly intituled the "Registration
Act, 1858," it is enacted that it shall be law-
ful for the Governor from time to time, by
Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to
divide the Colony, for the purposes 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 always 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 districts or in-
creasing the number or altering the boundy
aries of districts, as from time to time he ma-
think requisite :

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made,
issued and published, bearing date the sixth
day of July, one thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine, I, the Governor, in pursuance of
the power and authority vested in me by the
said in part recited Act, did divide the said
Colony, for the purposes of the sail Act, into
districts, the names and boundaries whereof
are respectively set forth in the said Procla-
mation, comprising amongst others the Dune-
din district, the Waitangi district, the Taieri
district, and the Invercargill district:

And whereas it is expedient for the pur-
poses of the said Act to divide anew that por-
tion of the said Colony comprised within the
four districts hereinbefore named :

Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
further exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by the said in part recited Act,
