G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Registration 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 amongst others constitute districts
for the purposes of the said Act, called the "Toko-
mairiro" and "North Molyneux" Districts, 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 by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the fourteenth day of May,
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 "Clutha" District, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said Proclamation came into operation and took
effect on the tenth day of June, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven:

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

within such districts shall be and is hereby divided,
