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

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 such and so
many districts as he may think fit, and that every
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 Pro-
clamation 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

the said Proclamations as relates to the said districts,
