WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1871.

G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly
of New Zealand, intituled "The Deeds Regis-
tration Act, 1868," it is enacted that the County of
Westland and every Province of the Colony shall
each respectively be a Registration District for the
purposes of the said Act, provided that the Governor
in Council may from time to time define and alter
the limits of any Registration District and may
create new Registration Districts:

And whereas by another Act of the General As-
sembly of New Zealand intituled "The Otago and
Southland Union Act, 1870," the two Provinces of
Otago and Southland were united into one Province
under the name of "the Province of Otago;" and
by the said Act it was declared that until the Gover-
nor should, under the powers conferred upon him by
"The Deeds Registration Act, 1868," otherwise
declare, the parts of the Colony respectively included
in the Province of Southland and the late Province
of Otago should be, respectively, separate Deeds to
Registration Districts:

And whereas it is expedient to alter the boundaries
of the said Districts:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor,
in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in him by the said recited Acts, and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of New
Zealand, doth hereby order that, from and after the
twenty-eighth day of February next, the Registration
District for the purposes of "The Deeds Registration
Act, 1868," comprising that part of the Colony
which was included in the late Province of South-
land, shall be altered in manner following, that is
to say, the said Registration District shall, from and
after the day aforesaid, comprise that portion of the
Province of Otago (as constituted by "The Otago
and Southland Union Act, 1870,") the boundaries of
which are set forth in the First Schedule hereto.

And in further exercise and pursuance of the said
powers and authorities, and with the like advice and
consent aforesaid, His Excellency the Governor doth

hereby order that, from and after the said twenty-eighth
day of February next, the Registration District,
for the purposes of "The Deeds Registration Act,
1868," which now comprises so much of the Colony
as was included within the Province of Otago as con-
stituted immediately before the passing of "The
Otago and Southland Union Act, 1870," shall be
altered in manner following, that is to say, the said
last-mentioned Registration District shall comprise
only that portion of the Province of Otago (as con-
stituted by "The Otago and Southland Union Act,
1870,") the boundaries whereof are set forth in the
Second Schedule hereto.
