WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 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 alter-
ing 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 thirtieth day of November,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute districts
for the purposes of the said Act called Gabriel's
District and the West Taieri District, the boundaries
whereof were therein set forth, which said proclama-
tion came into operation and took effect on the first
day of February, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamation 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 Gabriel's District and the West Taieri
District, and do proclaim and declare that the territory
formerly comprised within such districts 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:—

WAIPORI DISTRICT
Comprises all that area bounded by a line proceeding
from Maungatua Hill by the north-eastern watershed
of the Waipori River to the Lammerlaw; thence by
the south-western watershed of the said Waipori
River to Waitahuna Hill; thence in a direct line to
Maungatua Hill, the starting point.

GABRIEL'S DISTRICT
Comprises all that are bounded by a line proceeding
in a northerly direction twenty chains distant from
and parallel to the Clutha River from a point opposite
Crookburn to a point opposite Beaumont Burn;
thence to and along Beaumont Burn to its source;
thence to the Lammerlaw; thence by the south-
western boundary of the Waipori District to the
north-west boundary of Waitahuna District; thence
along the north-western boundaries of Waitahuna
and Tokomairiro Districts, and across the Clutha River
to the starting point.

WEST TAIERI DISTRICT
Comprises all that area bounded towards the North
by the Lammermoor Ranges and Sutton's Stream;
towards the East by Waikouaiti, North Taieri, and
East Taieri Districts; towards the South by Toko-
mairiro District; and towards the south-west by
Waitahuna and Waipori Districts:

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