many Districts as he may think fit, and that
every such District shall be called by a
distinct name, and shall be a Registrar's
District, and it is provided that the Governor
may at any time revoke the whole or any part
of such Proclamation, and issue a new Pro-
clamation dividing the Colony or any part of
it anew into Districts, or increasing the num-

from time to time he may think requisite;
and whereas by a Proclamation duly made
and issued, bearing date the sixteenth day
