THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

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 proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the nineteenth day of February,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did constitute two districts for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Timaru" and
the "Geraldine" districts, the boundaries whereof
were therein set forth, which said proclamation came
into operation and took effect on the first day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.

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 "Timaru" and the
"Geraldine" districts, 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:-

Waimate District.

Bounded on the North by the Makikihi, from the
sea to the source of its middle branch; thence by a
straight line to Mount Two Peaks; thence following

and on the East by the sea.

and the summit of the Two Thumb Range through

the East by the sea.

And I hereby declare that this proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the tenth day
of August, 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

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

time he may think requisite.

And whereas by a proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the thirtieth day of September,

of the said Act called the "Hokitika District," the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said proclamation came into operation and took effect

hundred and sixty-seven.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamation 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

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

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir-
