GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

A PROCLAMATION
Appointing certain Districts under the
Registration Act.

By His Excellency Sir GEORGE GREY,
Knight Commander of 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 the "Registration Act,
1858," it is enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor at any time, by Pro-
clamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to
divide the Colony of New Zealand for the
purposes of the said Act into such and so
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-
ber, or altering the boundaries of Districts as
from time to time he may think requisite;
and whereas by a Proclamation duly made
and issued, bearing date the sixth day of
of July, One thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine, the Governor, in pursuance of the
said recited power and authority, did amongst
others constitute two Districts for the pur-
poses of the said Act called the "Nelson
District," and the "Wairau District," the
boundaries whereof respectively were therein
set forth, which said Proclamation came into
operation and took effect on the first day of
October, One thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine; and whereas it is expedient to
revoke so much of the said Proclamation as
relates to the said two Districts, and to divide
anew the territory formerly comprised within
such Districts:

Now, therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the
Governor of the said Colony, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority vested in
me by the said recited Act, do hereby revoke
the said Proclamation so far as relates to the
"Nelson District" and the "Wairau District,"
and do proclaim and declare that the terri-
tory formerly comprised within such Districts
shall be and is hereby divided for the pur-
poses of the said Act into three Districts,
the names and boundaries whereof shall be
as follows:-

Nelson District.

Waimea Road District, following the Southern
boundary of the last named District till it
meets the straight line from the summit of
Mount Arthur to the junction of the Buller

mouth of the Gowan; thence up the Gowan
to Lake Howick, along the Western shore of
Lake Howick to its Southern extremity;
thence to the Wairau Gorge; thence Northerly
to Lake Arthur along its Eastern margin to
the stream running into it from the North-east;
thence up the said stream to the head of the
Motupiko river; thence along watershed
