G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS it is enacted 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
into districts for the purposes of the said Act, 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 bearing date the sixth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, duly made and
issued, published in the New Zealand Gazette, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said power and
authority, did constitute, among other districts, for
the purposes of the said Act, a district called the
"Bay of Islands District," the boundaries whereof
were in the said proclamation set forth. And
whereas by a proclamation bearing date the eighteenth
day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
eight, His Excellency the Governor did revoke the
proclamation of the sixth day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and fifty-nine, firstly hereinbefore
mentioned, and did proclaim and declare that the
territory theretofore comprised within the Bay of
Islands District aforesaid should be divided for the
purposes of the said Act into two districts, the names
whereof should be "The Bay of Islands District," and
"The Waimate District," and the boundaries whereof
are by the said proclamation of the eighteenth day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight,
respectively defined and set forth; and His Excel-
lency the Governor did by the said last-mentioned
proclamation further proclaim and declare that the
same proclamation should come into operation and
take effect on the first day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight. And whereas it is
expedient to revoke the said last-mentioned procla-
mation, and to provide for the continuance as well on
and after as before the first day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight, so far as relates to the
territory in and by the said several proclamations des-
cribed or referred to, of the division of the Colony for
the purposes of the said Act, into districts subsisting
at the date of this proclamation :

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 Registration Act, 1858," aforesaid, do hereby
revoke the said proclamation of the eighteenth day
of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight,
and do proclaim and declare that the territory com-
prised within the boundaries of the district in the
said proclamation of the sixth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, named "The
Bay of Islands District," including as well the terri-
tory comprised within the boundaries of the Waimate
District, as also the territory comprised within the
Bay of Islands District, as defined and set forth by
the said proclamation of the eighteenth day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, shall as
well on and after as before the said first day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, continue
remain and be a district for the purposes of "The
Registration Act, 1858," to all intents and purposes
as if the said proclamation of the eighteenth day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight
had not been made, and shall be called

THE BAY OF ISLANDS DISTRICT,
and the boundaries thereof shall be the boundaries

of the Bay of Islands District as the same are defined
and set forth in and by the said proclamation of the
sixth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and
fifty-nine.

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