G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Marriage 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 November,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did constitute a district for the purposes
of the said Act, called the "Oamaru" District, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which said
Proclamation came into operation and took effect on
the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six:

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 "Oamaru"
District, and do proclaim and declare that the
territory formerly comprised within such district
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:—

OTEPOPO DISTRICT.
Comprises all that area bounded towards the
North by the northern branch of the Kakanui River
to its source, and thence by a line in a westerly
direction to the Kakanui Mountains; towards the
East by the ocean; and towards the South-west by
the Horse Range and the Kakanui Mountains.

OAMARU DISTRICT.
Comprises all that area bounded on the North and
North-east by the Province of Canterbury; on the
East by the ocean; on the South by the northern
branch of the Kakanui River to its source, and thence
by a line in a westerly direction to the Kakanui
Mountains; towards the West by the Kakanui
Mountains, the Hawkdun Mountains, and the
Dunstan Mountains, from Mount St. Bathans to the
Province of Canterbury.

And I do declare that this Proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect on the first day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy.

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 Wellington,
this twenty-first day of January, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy.
