WHEREAS by "The District Courts Act, 1858,"
it is provided that there shall be within the
Colony Courts of Record, to be called District
Courts, and the Governor is empowered, from time
to time, by notification in the New Zealand Gazette,
to fix the times and places within the district at
which every such Court shall be held; and in like
manner such times and places to alter or abolish as
he shall think fit.

And whereas by such notification as aforesaid, on
the eighth day of January, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six, certain times were fixed by
me for the holding of Sessions of the District Court
of Marlborough, and it is now expedient that such
times be altered, and other times fixed in lieu
thereof:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby, in pursuance
and exercise of the said power and authority, fix that
Sessions of the said District Court of Marlborough
shall be held in the old Provincial Council Chamber
at Picton, in the Province of Marlborough, in every
year, on the twenty-fourth day of February, the
twenty-fourth day of May, the twenty-fourth day of
August, and the twenty-fourth day of November, or
as soon as conveniently may be after every such day
respectively, instead of on the days prescribed by the
hereinbefore mentioned notification dated the eighth
day of January last.

And I do further, in pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, fix that Sessions of the
said District Court of Marlborough shall also be held
in the Provincial Council Chamber at Blenheim, in
the said Province of Marlborough, in every year,
on the first day of March, the first day of June, the
first day of September, and the first day of December,
or as soon as conveniently may be after every such
day respectively.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this nineteenth day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
