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 thirteenth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did constitute two districts for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Nokomai and
Switzers" and the "Popotuna" districts, the boun-
daries whereof were therein set forth, which said
proclamation came into operation and took effect

on the tenth day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven.

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 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 pro-
clamation so far as relates to the "Nokomai and
Switzers" and the "Popotuna" districts, and do pro-
claim and declare that the territory formerly com-
prised 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:-

Tapanui District
Comprises all that area bounded towards the West
by the Waikaka Stream from the Pukerau Junction
to the source of its eastern branch; thence by a line
to the Leithen Burn, and by the Leithen Burn to
the Pomahaka River; thence by the Pomahaka
River to the junction of Spylaw Burn; thence
towards the North by Spylaw Burn to Spylaw Hill;
thence by the Mount Benger District and the
Clutha River to a point due East of the summit;
thence West to the summit; thence by the Tapuni
Ranges to the Pomahaka River at the Waipaki
Junction; and thence towards the South by a line
due West to the Pukerau Stream; and by the
Pukerau Stream to the Waikaka Stream, the starting
point.

Comprises all that area bounded by a line from Lorn
Peak, near the southern extremity of Lake Wakatipu,

vince of Southland two miles above the junction of
the Allanburn with the river Mataura, which forms
the said Provincial boundary; thence southwards
along the Mataura River to the junction of the
Waikaka Stream; thence northwards along the
Waikaka to the source of its eastern branch; thence
to the Leithen Stream; and by the Leithen Stream
to the Pomahaka River; and by the Pomahaka
River to the junction of Spylaw Burn; thence
straight to Wart Hill; thence by the Umbrella
Mountains to a point due west of Jordan Creek, at
its junction with the Clutha River; thence by the ranges
to Rocky Mountain; thence direct to Lorn Peak, the
starting point.

Popotuna District
Comprises all that area bounded by a line com-
mencing at the junction of the Waikaka Stream
with the river Mataura; thence along the said
stream to the junction of the Pukerau or Taylor's
Creek; thence by the Pukerau to a point due west
of the junction of the Waipaki Stream with the
Pomahaka River; thence due east to the said
Pomahaka River; thence by the Tapanui Ranges to
the summit; thence due east to the Clutha River;
thence south by the Clutha River to the northern
angle of the West Clutha Hundred; thence along
the north-western and south-western boundaries of
the said hundred and the western boundary of
Catlin's Hundred to the ocean; thence westwards
along the ocean beach to the mouth of the Mataura
River; thence northwards up the said river Mataura

point.

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