WHEREAS by "The Intestate Estates Act
Amendment Act, 1866," it is enacted that it
shall be lawful for the Governor by proclamation
published in the New Zealand Gazette, from time to
time to divide the Colony for the purposes of "The

Estates Act Amendment Act, 1866," into such and so
many districts as he shall think fit, it being provided
that every such district shall be called by a distinct
name and shall be a Curator's district, and in like
manner from time to time to abolish any such district
or alter or vary the boundaries of any district, or
increase the number of districts, provided that the
Provinces in this Colony for which Curators had
before the passing of the Act now in recital been
appointed, should be deemed to be districts defined
pursuant to that Act subject in every respect for the
purposes of the Acts aforesaid to be abolished or to
be varied and altered as if defined under the Act now
in recital; and that the Curators appointed for such
Provinces shall be deemed to have been appointed

to abolish the Curator's district of the Province of
Wellington, and to establish the Curator's district
hereinafter defined:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in
exercise of the power and authority vested in me in
that behalf do hereby abolish the Curator's district
of the Province of Wellington, aud do hereby define
the district to be called

THE WELLINGTON DISTRICT,

including as well all that portion of the Colony
comprised within the boundaries of the Province of
Wellington, as also the Chatham Islands and islands
adjacent thereto, to be a Curator's district for the
purposes of "The Intestate Estates Act, 1865," and
"The Intestate Estates Act Amendment Act, 1866."

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, and
issued under the Seal of the said
Colony, at Wellington, this fifth day

and sixty-seven.
