WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1873.

Districts under "The Registration Act, 1858."

JAMES FERGUSSON, 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 Zea-
land, 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 twenty-fourth day of
October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one, 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
"Mahurangi District," the boundaries whereof were
therein set forth, which said Proclamation came into
operation and took effect on the first day of
December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
one:

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, the Right Honorable Sir James
Fergusson, Baronet, 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
"Mahurangi 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:—

MAHURANGI DISTRICT.

the Arai Block to the Kaiwhiu River; thence by
said river and the dividing boundary between the

westerly by said boundary to the dividing boundary
between the Parishes of Mahurangi and Matakana,
and by said boundary to the Matakana River;
towards the East by the Matakana River aforesaid
and the sea to the North Head of Mahurangi Har-
bour; towards the South by the Mahurangi Harbour

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

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson,
Baronet, a member of Her Majesty's
Most Honorable Privy Council, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her
Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the
same, at Christchurch; and issued under
the Seal of the said Colony, at Christ-
church, this twenty-ninth day of Novem-
ber, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-three.
