WELLINGTON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1865.

G. GREY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION
Appointing certain Districts under "The Marriage
Act."

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 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 Proclamations duly made and
issued, the Governor in pursuance of the said recited
power and authority, did, amongst others, constitute
districts in the Province of Otago for the purposes
of the said Act, the boundaries whereof were therein
set forth.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamations as relates to the said 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 Proclamations, so far
as relates to the said districts, and do proclaim and
declare that the territory formerly comprised within
such districts shall be and is hereby divided for the
purposes of the said Act into districts, the names and
boundaries whereof shall be as follows:-
