disallowed.

(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Act made and enacted in the
fifteenth and sixteenth years of the reign of Her Majesty
Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act to grant a
Representative Constitution to the Colony of New
Zealand," it is, amongst other things, enacted that
whenever any Bill shall have been assented to by the
Superintendent, as in the said Act provided, the
Superintendent shall forthwith transmit to the
Governor an authentic copy thereof, and it shall be
lawful for the Governor, at any time within three
months after any such Bill shall have been received
by him, to declare by Proclamation his disallowance
of such Bill; and that any such disallowance shall
make void and annul the same from and after the
day of the date of such Proclamation, or any subse-
quent day to be named therein :

And whereas the Act hereinafter specified has been
enacted by the Superintendent of Wellington with
the advice and consent of the Provincial Council
thereof, and the said Act was received by the
Governor on the twenty-sixth day of May, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four:

And whereas it is expedient that the said Act
should be disallowed:

Now therefore, I, the Governor of New Zealand,
in pursuance of the authority vested in me in that
behalf by the said recited Act of Parliament, do
hereby proclaim and declare my disallowance of the
following Act, passed by the Superintendent and
Provincial Council of the Province of Wellington,
namely,—

"The Diseased Sheep Act 1872 Amendment Act,
1874."

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; and issued under the Seal of the
said Colony, at the Government House,
Wellington, this twenty-second day of
June, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.

Districts under "The Registration Act, 1858."

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

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
