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 fifth day of May, one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-three, the Governor, in
pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did constitute a district for the purposes of the said
Act, called the "Mohaka" District, the boundaries
whereof were therein set forth, which said Proclama-
tion came into operation and took effect on the first
day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
three:

And whereas by a Proclamation 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 constitute a district for the pur-
poses of the said Act, called the "Turanga" District,
the boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said Proclamation 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 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
Proclamations so far as relates to the said 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 four districts, the names and boundaries
whereof shall be as follows:-
