such part of the Colony as shall be defined in the
Proclamation shall be a Proclaimed District within
the meaning and for the purposes of the said Act; and
thereupon it shall not be lawful for any person,
whether holding a license under any Act or Ordinance
regulating the sale of wine, ale, beer, or spirits, or
not, to sell or supply any wine, beer, or spirituous or
fermented liquors of any kind without the permission
of such person as the Governor shall from time
to time appoint to grant permits for the sale
of such articles within such district; and if any
person, not being the holder of a permit so granted
as aforesaid, shall keep his house open, or shall sell or
supply any wine, ale, beer, or spirits, or any fermented

after the day fixed in any Proclamation relating to
such district as the day for the coming into operation
thereof, such person shall be liable to forfeit and pay
