Districts under "Registration Act, 1858."

(L.S.) 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 January,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, 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 "Drury
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the fifteenth day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-five:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamation as relates to the said district,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such district :

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
Proclamation so far as relates to the "Drury
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 two districts, the names and boundaries
whereof shall be as follows:—

AWITU DISTRICT.

Bounded on the North by the waters of the
Manukau Harbour from Manukau Heads to Karaka
Creek; on the East, from the centre of Karaka Creek,
by the line dividing Karaka and Waiau Parishes, by
an extension of that straight line through Puni
to the eastern boundary of Puni Parish, near to
Cameron Town, on the Waikato River, and thence
by that boundary to the Waikato; on the South by
the Waikato River to the West Coast; and on the
West by the sea to the Manukau Heads, the point of
commencement.

DRURY DISTRICT.

Bounded on the North by the waters of the
Manukau Harbour from Karaka Creek to Papakura
Creek, by the centre of Papakura Creek, by the
northern and eastern boundaries of the village of
Papakura, by Hewling's line to the Wairoa River,
and crossing the Wairoa River by that river to the
sea; on the East by the Gulf of the Thames, and by
the Piako River to the junction of the Tahunatapu
Creek; thence on the South by a straight line to
Puketakauri, on the Waikato River; thence across
that river in a straight line to the south shore of
Wangape Lake; and thence in a straight line
running west-south-west to the West Coast; on the
West by the sea from the last-mentioned point to
Waikato Heads; thence, again on the North, by the
Waikato River to the eastern boundary line of Puni
Parish, near to Cameron Town; and thence, again
on the West, by the boundary of Awitu District, as
before described in this Proclamation, to Karaka
Creek, the point of commencement.

And I do declare that this Proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the second
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-three.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of
Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her
Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the
same; and issued under the Seal of the
said Colony, at Wellington, this third
day of December, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-two.

(L.S.) G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by Proclamation made on the second
day of January under the powers conferred on
me by "The Gold Mining Districts Act, 1871," and
published in the New Zealand Gazette, on the sixth
day of January last, I did constitute and appoint the
district described in the Schedule to the said Pro-
clamation to be a Gold Mining District under the
said Act, by the boundaries in the said Schedule
mentioned: And whereas in the said Schedule,
amongst other boundaries, the sea coast is specified
as part of the boundaries of the said district: And
whereas it is expedient to define more particularly
the boundaries of the said district :

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance
of all powers and authorities enabling me in this
behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
boundaries of the said district shall be, and from the
date of the said recited Proclamation be deemed to
have been, those specified in the Schedule hereto.
