THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

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 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 sixth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, the Governor
did, amongst others, constitute two districts for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Wellington
District," and the "Wanganui District," the boun-
daries whereof were therein set forth, which said
proclamation came into operation and took effect on
the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and fifty-nine.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamation as relates to the said districts,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such districts:

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 "Wellington District," and the
"Wanganui District," and do proclaim and declare
that the territory formerly comprised within such
districts shall be and is hereby divided for the
purposes of the said Act into four districts, the
names and boundaries whereof shall be as follows:-

WELLINGTON DISTRICT.

from Cook Strait to the Tararua Range; on the
South by Cook Strait; on the East by the Rimutaki

Bounded on the North by the northern boundary
of the Province from Cook Strait to the Ruahine

boundary to the Rangitikei River; and thence by a
line due East to the Ruahine Range; on the East
by the Ruahine Mountains; on the West by Cook
Strait.

RANGITIKEI DISTRICT.
Commencing at the mouth of the Rangitikei

by the Wangaehu River to the sea; and thence along
the sea coast to the mouth of the Rangitikei River.

MANAWATU DISTRICT.
Commencing at the mouth of the Rangitikei
River to the boundary of the Rangitikei District;

River to the sea coast; and along the sea coast to
the mouth of the Rangitikei River.

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