G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Resident Magistrates' Act,
1867," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for
the Governor from time to time, by proclamation in
the New Zealand Gazette, to declare, that from a day
to be in such proclamation fixed, sections one hundred
and five to one hundred and fifteen of the said Act,
(both inclusive,) having special reference to persons
of the Native race, or such of those sections as shall
be in such proclamation specified, shall come into
operation in such districts of the Colony as shall be
in such proclamation specified, and until so pro-
claimed, and in places not included in any such
district, that such sections shall not be in force.

And whereas by proclamation bearing date the
twelfth day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, certain of the said sections as therein
specified were proclaimed and brought into operation
in the manner required by the said Act within certain
Resident Magistrates' districts, including, amongst
others, the district hereinafter named; and it is
expedient to bring into operation within the said
district the section numbered one hundred and eleven
of the said Act, in addition to the sections heretofore
brought into operation as aforesaid :

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and in exercise of the power and authority in
this behalf vested in me by the said Act, do hereby
proclaim and declare, that from and after the fifteenth
day of August instant, the section numbered
one hundred and eleven of "The Resident Magis-
trates' Act, 1867," having special reference to persons
of the Native race, shall come into operation within
the Resident Magistrate's district called the

DISTRICT OF NELSON,

as the same is defined in a proclamation bearing date
the twenty-ninth day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seven.

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, at the Government House, at
Wellington; and issued under the Seal
of the said Colony, this fifth day of
August, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

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 proclamations duly made and
issued, bearing date the thirtieth day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, the
Governor in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did, amongst others, constitute a district
in the Province of Auckland for the purposes of the
said Act, called the Thames District, the boundaries
whereof were therein set forth, which said proclama-
tions came into operation and took effect on the
fifteenth day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-five.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said proclamations as relates to the said district,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such district:
