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 dis-
trict 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 proclama-
tion 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 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 dis-
tricts 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 boun-
daries whereof shall be as follows:—

WAIPORI DISTRICT

Comprises all that area bounded by a line proceeding
from Maungatua Hill by the north-eastern water-
shed 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 area 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 TAIEŘI 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.
