WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1866.

G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

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
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 thirtieth day of November,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, 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 "Warepa
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the 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 Warepa 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:

POPOTUNA DISTRICT
Comprises all that area bounded towards the North
by the Nokomai Registration District; towards the

East by the Manuherikia, Mount Benger, and
Gabriel's Registration Districts, and the Clutha
River to the West Clutha Hundred, and by the
Western boundaries of the said West Clutha
Hundred and Catlin's Hundred to the ocean; to-
wards the South by the ocean; and towards the
West by the Province of Southland.

CLUTHA DISTRICT
Comprises all that area bounded towards the West
by the Popotuna Registration District; towards the
North and East by the Clutha River and its Kaou
branches; and towards the South by the ocean.

And I do declare that this Proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect on the first day of
October, 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 twenty-ninth day of August, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six.

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
