A PROCLAMATION

Appointing certain Districts under the Re-
gistration Act.

By His Excellency Sir GEORGE
GREY, Knight Commander of
the Most Honourable Order of
the Bath, Governor and Com-
mander-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 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 Proclamation
dividing the Colony or any part of it anew
into Districts or increasing the number 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 6th day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited
power and authority, did amongst others con-
stitute a District for the purposes of the said
Act called the "Ahuriri District," the bounda-
ries whereof 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 District, and to divide anew the territory
formerly comprised within such District:

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
"Ahuriri District," and do proclaim and
declare that the territory formerly comprised
within such District shall be and is hereby
divided for the purposes of the said Act into
Four Districts, the names and boundaries
whereof shall be as follows:
