WELLINGTON, MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1868.

G. F. BOWEN, 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 a proclamation duly made and issued,
bearing date the sixth day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and fifty-nine, the Governor, in
pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did, amongst others, constitute a district for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Bay of Islands
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of October one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. And whereas
it is expedient to revoke so much of the said procla-
mation as relates to the said district, and to divide
anew the territory formerly comprised within such
district:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
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 "Bay of Islands
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 two districts, the names and boundaries
whereof shall be as follows:-

BAY OF ISLANDS DISTRICT.
Bounded on the North by the harbour of the Bay
of Islands, from Tapeka Head to Cape Brett; on the

north-east by the sea, from Cape Brett aforesaid to
the North Head of Ngunguru River; on the south-
west by the Ngunguru River aforesaid, and by a line
drawn from the source thereof to the south-eastern
extremity of the Ruapekapeka Block; thence by the
south-eastern and southern boundaries of said block
to the Otiria River; and on the west by the Otiria
River aforesaid, to the Kawakawa River; thence by
said river and the harbour of the Bay to Tapeka
Head, the point of commencement.

WAIMATE DISTRICT.

Bounded on the north-east by the sea, the mid-
channel of the Bay, and the mid-channel of the
Kawakawa River to its confluence with the Haretu
River; on the South by a line drawn from the con-
fluence of the Kawakawa and Haretu Rivers afore-
said to the eastern extremity of the Omapere Lake;
on the south-west by a line drawn from the eastern
shore of the Omapere Lake aforesaid to the summit
of Maungataniwha; and on the north-west by a line
drawn from the summit of Maungataniwha to the
southern extremity of the southernmost of the Cavalli
Islands.

And I hereby declare that this proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the first day
of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, and issued under the
Seal of the said Colony, at Wellington,
this eighteenth day of April, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight.
