THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

Winton and Invercargill Districts under "The
Registration Act, 1858."

(L.S.) G. A. ARNEY,
Officer Administering the Government.

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 sixteenth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the Governor,
in pursuance of the said recited power and authority,
did, amongst others, constitute a district for the pur-
poses of the said Act, called the "Invercargill Dis-
trict," the boundaries whereof were therein set forth,
which said Proclamation came into operation and
took effect on the first day of September, one thou-
sand 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:—

its source to the north boundary of Run 329; thence

said 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

South by the Campbelltown District and the ocean;

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-

the Seal of the said Colony, at Welling-
ton, this twenty-fourth day of April,
in the year of our Lord one thousand

mendation of the County Council, and shall be
notified by Proclamation in the County of Westland
Gazette: And whereas the said County Council

the meaning of the said section of the Act:
