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 thirtieth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did constitute a district for the purposes of
the said Act called the "Hokitika District," the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said proclamation came into operation and took effect
on the first day of November, 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 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 Hokitika
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 two districts, the names and boundaries
whereof shall be as follows:—

Hokitika District.

Bounded on the north-east by the Arahura River;
on the south-east following the dividing range to the
southern branch of the Hokitika River; thence along
the said river to a point distant four miles from its
junction with the Kokatahi River; and from thence
in a line touching the south-western extremity of
Mahinapua Lake to the ocean beach; and from thence
along the ocean beach to the Arahura River.

Waimea District.

Bounded on the north-east by the Teremakau
River; on the south-east by the main range; on the
South and south-west by the northern boundary of the
Hokitika District; and on the north-west by the
ocean beach.

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
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 the
Government House, at Wellington, this
thirteenth day of July, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight.
