Altering boundaries of Papakura and Rangiriri
Licensing Districts, and appointing "Ramarama
District" to be known as "Pukekohe District."

(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Licensing Act, 1873," it
is, amongst other things, enacted that the
Governor shall, as soon as conveniently may be after
the passing of the said Act, by Proclamation in the
Government Gazette, define such territorial divisions
as he may think proper to be licensing districts for
the purposes of the said Act, and from time to time
may alter and re-define the boundaries of the same:

And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the
twenty-third day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-four, certain districts were pro-
claimed, constituted, and appointed to be licensing
districts for the purposes of the said Act, and each
such district was designated by a particular name:

And whereas it is expedient to alter the boundaries
of the Papakura and Rangiriri Districts, and to alter
the name of the Ramarama District;

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance of the provisions of the hereinbefore recited
Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that from and
after the first day of November next, the boundaries
of the said Papakura and Rangiriri Districts shall
be altered, and that thenceforth the boundaries
thereof shall be as defined and set forth in the
Schedule hereto, with the names set over them; and I
do hereby further appoint and proclaim that the
"Ramarama District" shall, from the said first
day of November next, be known by the name of the
"Pukekohe District."

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 Wellington, this fifteenth
day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
four.
