A PROCLAMATION

Appointing certain Districts under the " Regis-
tration 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.

WHEREAS by the "Registration Act,
1858," it is enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor at any time, by
proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette,
to divide the Colony of New Zealand, for
the purposes of the said Act, into 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 in-
creasing the number or altering the bound-
aries of Districts, as from time to time he
may think requisite:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly
made and issued, bearing date the twenty-second
day of July, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-three, the Governor, in pursuance
of the said recited power and authority, did
amongst others constitute a District for the
purposes of the said Act, called the Wakatip
District, the boundaries whereof were therein
set forth, which said Proclamation came into
operation and took effect on the first day of
September, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three:

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 Wakatip District, and do
proclaim and declare that the territory for-
merly comprised within such District shall
be and is hereby divided, for the purposes of
the said Act, into two Districts, the names

and boundaries whereof shall be as follows:—

ARROW DISTRICT.
comprises all that area bounded towards the
North and East by the Wanaka District and
by the Kawarau River; and on the West by
the watershed of the Shotover and Arrow
Rivers.

WAKATIP DISTRICT.
comprises all that area bounded towards the
North by the Province of Canterbury;
towards the East by Wanaka, Arrow, and
Dunstan Districts; towards the South by
Warepa District, by the Province of South-
land and by the Ocean; and on the West
by the Ocean.

And I do declare that this Proclamation
shall come into operation and take effect
on the first day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-four.

Given under my hand at the Govern-
ment House, at Auckland, and
issued under the Seal of the
Colony of New Zealand, this
thirtieth day of April, in the
year of Our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-four.
G. GREY.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

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.

WHEREAS it is provided by the "Mi-
litia Acts Amendment Act, 1862,"
that the number of days and hours for the
meeting of the Militia for any District for
training and exercise shall be from time to
time fixed by the Governor:

And whereas it is deemed expedient to
call out for training and exercise certain
portions of the Militia of the Militia District
of Napier in the Province of Hawke's Bay:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and execu-
tion of the power and authority conferred
upon me by the said recited Act, I do
hereby fix the number of days and hours
during which that portion of the Militia
within the Militia District of Napier in the
Province of Hawke's Bay, which may be
called out for training and exercise within
three months from the first day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four,
shall be trained once in every fourteen days.

Given under my hand at the Govern-
ment House, at Auckland, this
twenty-seventh day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-four.
