WHEREAS by "The Intestate Estates Act, 1865,"
it is, amongst other things, enacted that it shall
be lawful for the Governor in Council from time to
time, and as occasion may require, to appoint for
each Province in the Colony a fit and proper person
to act as Curator of Estates of Deceased Persons, and
in like manner to remove such Curator or any suc-
cessor in office of such Curator: And whereas by
"The Intestate Estates Act Amendment Act, 1866,"
it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor,
by Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazetle,
from time to time to divide the Colony, for the pur-
poses of the said "Intestate Estates Act, 1865," and
the said "Intestate Estates Act Amendment Act,
1866," into such and so many districts as he shall
think fit, and every such district shall be called by a
distinct name, and shall be a Curator's District, and
in like manner from time to time, and as he shall
think fit, to abolish any such district, or alter or vary
the boundaries of any district, or increase the number
of such districts, provided that the Provinces of
the Colony for which Curators have before the passing
of the last-mentioned Act been appointed, shall be
deemed to be districts defined pursuant to that Act,
subject in every respect for the purposes of "The
Intestate Estates Act, 1865," and "The Intestate
Estates Act Amendment Act, 1866," to be abolished
or to be varied or altered as if defined under the
said last-mentioned Act; and the term "Province,"
wherever used in the said "Intestate Estates Act,
1865," shall mean "Curator's District," and the
Curators appointed for such Provinces shall be deemed
to have been appointed under and pursuant to the
said "Intestate Estates Act Amendment Act, 1866:"
And whereas by an Order in Council bearing date
the ninth day of May, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six, Robert Pollock, Esquire, of Nelson, was
appointed to act as Curator of Estates of Deceased
Persons in and for the Province of Nelson: And
whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the twelfth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-seven, the Provinces of Nelson and Marl-
borough were formed into one district, for the pur-
poses of the said Acts, and called the District of
Nelson and Marlborough, and the said Robert
Pollock was appointed to be Curator of Estates of
deceased persons in and for the said District: And
whereas it is expedient to separate the Province of
Marlborough from the Province of Nelson for the
purposes of the said Acts:
Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority in me
vested for this purpose, do hereby proclaim and declare
the above-mentioned District of Nelson and Marl-
borough to be abolished, and do in lieu thereof con-
stitute the Provinces of Nelson and Marlborough
separate Districts under and for the purposes of the
said Acts, to be called respectively

THE DISTRICT OF NELSON, and
THE DISTRICT OF MARLBOROUGH.
