A PROCLAMATION
Appointing certain Districts under the
"Marriage 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 "Marriage Act
Amendment Act, 1858," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor at
any time, by a Proclamation 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 sixteenth 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 Dunedin 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 Dunedin 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 :-
PORT CHALMERS DISTRICT.
All that area comprising the town of Port
Chalmers, the Lower Harbour West Survey
District, the Sawyer's Bay Survey District,
Sections numbered 88 to 115 inclusive,

ary line of the said Block 4 to the Northern
