Districts under "The Marriage Act Amendment
Act, 1858."

(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, it is 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 thirteenth day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, 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 "Timaru
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the tenth day of August, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the seventh day of November,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, 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 "Temuka
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the fifteenth day of December, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-three:

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 Proclamation so far as relates to the
"Timaru District," and the "Temuka District," 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:—
