G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
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 Proclamations duly made and
issued, bearing date the seventh day of September, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the Governor,
in pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did constitute districts for the purposes of the said
Act, called the "Greytown" and "Wairarapa"
Districts, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the twenty-seventh day of Sep-
tember, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six,
the Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute a
district, for the purposes of the said Act, called the
"Manawatu" District, the boundaries whereof were
therein set forth, which said Proclamation came into
operation and took effect on the first day of
November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
six:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamations as relates to the said district,
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 exer-
cise of the power and authority vested in me by the
said recited Act, do hereby revoke the said Proclama-
tions so far as relates to the "Greytown" and
"Wairarapa" Districts, and to the "Manawatu"
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 five districts, the names and boundaries whereof
shall be as follows:--
