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:

by the Nokomai Registration District; towards the

Comprises all that area bounded towards the West
by the Popotuna Registration District; towards the
