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 a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the sixteenth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the Gover-
nor, in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did, amongst others, constitute a district
for the purposes of the said Act, called the "Inver-
cargill District," the boundaries whereof were therein
set forth, which said Proclamation came into opera-
tion and took effect on the first day of September, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.

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 Alfred Arney, Knight,
the Officer Administering the Government of New
Zealand, 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 Invercargill 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:-

WINTON DISTRICT.

Bounded on the East by the Mataura River from
its source to the north boundary of Run 329; thence
by a line due west to the Oreti River; thence by
river and the east boundary of Run 146, the
Oripiri Stream, and the east boundary of the
Winton Hundred; on the South by the south
boundaries of the Winton and Oreti Hundreds to the
Waimatuku River; thence by said river to its source;
thence by a right line north-west to cut the Aparima;
on the West by the Aparima to its junction with the
Hamilton Burn; thence by a right line north to the
Oreti; thence by the Oreti to its junction with the
Windley River; and on the North-west by the
north-west boundary of the late Province of South-
land.

INVERCARGILL DISTRICT.

Bounded on the East by the Mataura; on the
South by the Campbelltown District and the ocean;
on the West by the Waimatuku River to the south-
west corner of the Oreti Hundred; and on the North
and West by the Winton District, before described.

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

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Alfred Arney, Knight, the Officer
Administering the Government 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 Welling-
ton, this twenty-fourth day of April,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-three.
