G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Land Registry Act, 1860,"
it is enacted that the Governor shall from
time to time as he shall think fit, by proclamation in
the New Zealand Gazette, constitute throughout the
Colony of New Zealand, or in any part thereof,
Registrar's Districts for the purposes of that Act,
and such districts abolish, and the boundaries of any
district define and alter, and also declare by what
local name each such district shall be designated :
And whereas by a proclamation dated the twenty-
second day of June, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three a certain district was defined and con-
stituted and was called "the District of Auckland:"
And whereas it is expedient to alter the boundaries
of the said district, with a view to include therein
the additional limits hereinafter described :
Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of
the said Colony, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers conferred on me by the said recited Act, do
hereby alter the boundaries of the said District of
Auckland for the purposes of the said Act, and do
hereby define the same to be as follows, namely:—that
portion of the said Colony of New Zealand known as
the Province of Auckland, bounded on the North-
east and West by the coast line, including the islands
adjacent thereto, and on the South by the River
Mokau to its source; thence by a right line running
from the source of the Mokau to the point where the
Ngahunga or Tuhua, the principal tributary of the
Wanganui River, is intersected by the thirty-ninth
parallel of south latitude; thence Eastward by the
thirty-ninth parallel of south latitude to the point
where that parallel of latitude cuts the East Coast
of the Northern Island of New Zealand. And
I hereby declare that the district above defined shall
be designated "The District of Auckland." And I
hereby further declare that this proclamation shall
take effect on and after the first day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.
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 November,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
six.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly

things provided that where under the provisions of
"The Native Reserves Act, 1856," the assent of the
Aboriginal inhabitants is required to bringing land
under the operation of the said "Native Reserves
Act, 1856," the Governor may, by Order in Council,
declare such assent to have been ascertained, and
thereupon the title of the Aboriginal inhabitants in
the land to which the same shall relate, shall be
deemed to be extinguished, and the land shall from
the date of such Order in Council vest in Her
Majesty, for the purposes and subject to the provi-
sions of the said "Native Reserves Act, 1856," as
attested by the recited Act, and that as effectually as
if the same had been ceded and conveyed by such
Aboriginal inhabitants to Her Majesty :
Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, doth hereby declare that the assent of the
