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 Clutha Dis-

power and authority vested in me by the said recited
Act, do hereby revoke the said proclamation so far
as relates to the Clutha 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:---

West Clutha Hundred, bounded towards the north-

comprises all that area bounded towards the north-
west by the West Clutha Hundred, towards the

And I hereby declare that this proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the tenth day
of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
seven.
