WELLINGTON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1867.

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 proclamations duly made and
issued, bearing date respectively the thirtieth day of
November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five,
and the twenty-ninth day of August, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-six, the Governor, in
pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did constitute two districts for the purposes of the
said Act, called respectively the "Nokomai" and the
"Popotuna" Districts, the boundaries of the
"Nokomai" District, being set forth in the first-
named proclamation, which said proclamation came
into operation and took effect on the first day of
February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six,
and the boundaries of the "Popotuna" District being
set forth in the last-named proclamation, which said
proclamation came into operation and took effect on
the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamations 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 "Nokomai" and "Popotuna" Districts,

formerly comprised within such districts shall be and
is hereby divided for the purposes of the said Act
