THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

A PROCLAMATION,
Appointing certain Districts under the "Mar-
riage Act."

By His Excellency Sir GEORGE GREY,
Knight, Commander of the Most
Honourable 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 "Marriage Act
Amendment Act, 1858," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor, at
any time, by Proclamation in the New Zea-
land 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 sixth day
of July, One thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine, 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 "Timaru
District," the boundaries 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 in
me vested by the said recited Act, do hereby
revoke the said Proclamation so far as
relates to the "Timaru 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 two Districts,
the names and boundaries whereof shall be
as follows:—

Geraldine District.

From the South bank of the Rangitata to
the South bank of the Opihi, and the South
bank of the Te Ngawai to McKenzie's Pass.

Timaru District.

From the South bank of the Opihi and Te
Ngawai to the boundary of the Provinces of
Otago and Canterbury (Waitangi River).

And I do declare that this Proclamation
shall come into operation and take effect on
the first day of April next ensuing.

Given under my hand, at the Govern-
ment House, at Auckland, and
issued under the Seal of the
Colony of New Zealand, this
nineteenth day of February, in
the year of our Lord one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-
four.

G. GREY.

By His Excellency's command,
WILLIAM Fox.
