THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
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 twenty-seventh day of Sep-
tember, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did constitute a district for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Wellington
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of September, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the eighteenth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, the
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did constitute a district for the purposes
of the said Act, called the "Foxton District," the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said Proclamation came into operation and took effect
on the second day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-one:

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

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 Proclamations so far as relates to
the Wellington and Foxton Districts, and do proclaim
and declare that the territory formerly comprised
within such districts shall be and is hereby divided,
for the purposes of the said Act, into three districts,
the names and boundaries whereof shall be as
follows:-

along the Tararua Ranges until it meets a line drawn
east from the source of the Ohau River; thence
along said line and down the Ohau River to the sea
coast; thence up the coast to the mouth of the
Rangitikei River; thence up said river to a point
opposite "Bull's," Middle Rangitikei; thence along

thence up the Ohau River to its source; thence

coast to the top of the road on the Paikakariki Hill;
thence along the said line to the coast; thence along
the coast to the Ohau River, including the Island of
Kapiti.
WELLINGTON DISTRICT.
Bounded on the North by a line drawn due east
from the coast through highest point of the road
crossing the Paikakariki Hill to the Tararua Range;

the Rimutaka Range to Taourakira Head; thence
along the coast to Pencarrow Head; thence in a
straight line to the opposite side of the entrance to
Port Nicholson; thence following the coast line
round Cape Terawiti to the starting point, including
the Island of Mana.

And I do declare that the Proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the first day
of August, 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; and issued under the Seal of the
