is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor at any time, by Proclamation in the New

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 sixth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, the Governor,
in pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did amongst others constitute districts for the pur-
poses of the said Act, called the "Kaipara," "Manga-
