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

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
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:-
