THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Registration 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 twenty-second day of May,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute a dis-
trict in the Province of Nelson called "The River
Grey District," for the purposes of the said Act, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth.

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

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 said 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 three districts, the
names and boundaries whereof shall be as follows:—

COBDEN DISTRICT.

Commencing at the mouth of the Tikopihi on the
sea coast, and by that stream to Mount Faraday;
thence in a straight line to the junction of the
Waituhu with the Thackeray River, thence in a
straight line to Mount Franklin, thence by the
watershed of the Spenser Mountains to Mount Hoch-
stetter, thence by a straight line to the saddle
between the sources of the Hurunui and Teramakau
Rivers, thence in a straight line to the northern-
most point of Lake Brunner, thence down the
Arnold River to its junction with the River Grey,
thence down the River Grey to the sea coast.

GREYMOUTH DISTRICT.

Commencing at the mouth of the River Grey,
thence up the southern bank of that river to its
junction with the Arnold, thence up the Arnold to
the northernmost point of Lake Brunner, thence in
a straight line to the saddle between the sources of
the Hurunui and Teramakau Rivers, thence down
the River Teramakau to the sea coast.

HOKITIKA DISTRICT.

Commencing at the mouth of the River Teramakau,
thence up the southern bank of that river to the
saddle between the sources of the Hurunui and Tera-
makau Rivers, thence to the source of the Courtenay
River, thence by the western boundaries of the
Christchurch and Ashburton Districts respectively,
and thence from the source of the Rangitata in a
straight line to Abut Head.

And I do declare that this proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect on the first day of
February, 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 twelfth day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven.

G. GREY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Customs Regulation Act,
1858," it is enacted that the Governor may
from time to time by proclamation make provision
for the examination of exported gold, not being gold
coin, and respecting the mode of packing and
securing the same, and may prohibit the exportation
thereof, except from specified ports, and generally
may regulate and restrict the export of gold other
than gold coin, and further, that the Governor may
from time to time regulate and restrict the carriage.
of gold other than gold coin coastwise, from one port
of the Colony to another. And whereas by "The
Gold Duty Act, 1858," provision is made for levying
a duty upon gold exported from New Zealand:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the power and authority so vested in me
as aforesaid, do hereby proclaim and declare that no
gold other than gold coin shall hereafter be shipped
from any part of the said Colony, either for exporta-
tion or to be carried coastwise from one port to
another in the said Colony, except gold upon which
the said export duty in and by "The Gold Duty Act,
1858," aforesaid, authorized to be levied, shall have
been duly levied by and paid to the Collector of
Customs for the port from which the same gold shall
be first shipped: Provided always that gold upon
which the said duty shall have been duly levied and
paid on shipment at any port of the said Colony may
be landed in the said Colony and again shipped for
exportation without any further payment of duty,
in the same or different parcels, upon production to
the Collector of Customs at the port of re-shipment
of a certificate under the hand of the Collector of
Customs of the port whence the said gold was originally
shipped, of the due payment of the said duty upon
the same or an equal amount of gold, and upon every
such re-shipment, the Collector of Customs at the
port of re-shipment shall cancel the certificate of
payment of duty so produced to him, as aforesaid,
by writing thereupon his name, the date of such
cancellation, and the name of the port to which such
gold is so re-shipped.

And I do declare that this proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect on the first day of
February, 1867.

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 eighth day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven.
