(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The District Courts Act, 1858,"
it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor, from time to time as he shall think fit, by
Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to con-
stitute throughout the colony, or any part thereof,
districts within which District Courts shall be re-
spectively held, and such districts to abolish, and the
boundaries thereof to define or alter: And whereas
by a Proclamation bearing date the twenty-eighth
day of June, one thousand eight hundred and seventy,
districts were defined within which District Courts
should be held under the said Act and "The District
Courts Act Amendment Act, 1865," and it was
thereby declared that the said Courts should be
designated by the names of "The District Court of
Westland North" and "The District Court of the
County of Westland" respectively:
And whereas by another Proclamation bearing date
the fifth day of March, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-four, the designation of the said "Dis-
trict Court of the County of Westland" was altered
to "The District Court of Westland South:" And
whereas it is expedient to abolish the respective
districts so defined as aforesaid, and to constitute
the territory comprised therein one district for the
purposes of the said District Courts Act, 1858, and
the Acts amending the same :

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
aforesaid power and authority vested in me, do hereby
proclaim and declare that, from and after the twelfth
day of July instant, the said respective districts
of the District Courts of "Westland North" and
"Westland South" shall be abolished, and that
thenceforth the territory comprised within the
boundaries set forth in the Schedule hereto shall be
constituted a district within which a District Court
shall be held under the said District Courts Act,
1858, and the Acts amending the same. And in

further pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority aforesaid, I do hereby declare that the said
Court shall be designated by the name of
"THE DISTRICT COURT OF WESTLAND."

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl
of Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and
