THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

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 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 Proclama-
tion 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 twenty-second day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two,
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
"Picton District," in the Province of Marlborough,
the boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said Proclamation came into operation and took
effect on the first day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-two.

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 "Picton 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 :-

PICTON DISTRICT.

Bounded towards the North and East by the coast
line from Alligator Head between Guards and Waitui
Bays, to the east end of the range of hills dividing
White's Bay from Robin Hood's Bay, including
Arapawa Island and all other islands in Queen
Charlotte Sound, Port Underwood, &c.; thence on
the South by a right line to a point in the Tua Marina
Valley five miles due north from the mouth of the
Tua Marina River; thence along a right line (for
about five miles) bearing to a point in the Kaituna
Valley seven miles from the Wairau River; thence
towards the West by a right line bearing nearly due
north to the summit of the range dividing Queen
Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds, the said line being a
continuation of the dividing line between Sections
34, 35, 36, 37, and x39, 13, 12, 51, on the plan of the
District of Matiatipawa; thence by the summit of
the last-mentioned range to Alligator Head.

PELORUS DISTRICT.

Bounded towards the East by the western boundary
of the Picton District from Alligator Head to the
south-west corner of the same district; thence by a
right line to a point in the Kaituna Valley seven
miles from the Wairau river; thence up a line to
the summit of the range of hills dividing the Pelorus
and Wairau Rivers; thence by a line along the said
summit to Mount Richmond; thence towards the
West and North-west by a right line to the Red
Hills; and thence by the North-western boundary of
the Province of Marlborough to Tennyson's Inlet.

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

Given under the hand of 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, at the
Government House at Wellington, and
issued under the Seal of the said Colony,
this first day of February, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six.
