WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1875.

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

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

WHEREAS by "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 thirtieth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, the then
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 Okarito
District," the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven:

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

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, 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 Okarito District," and do proclaim and
declare that the territory formerly comprised within
such district shall be and the same is hereby divided,
for the purposes of the said Act, into two districts,
the names and boundaries whereof shall be as fol-
lows:-

OKARITO DISTRICT.
Bounded on the North-east by the Wanganui River;
on the South-east by the dividing range; on the
South-west by Paringa River, Paringa Lake, and
watersheds between Haast River and Paringa River
Valleys; and on the North-west by the ocean.

JACKSON'S BAY DISTRICT.
Bounded on the North-east by Okarito District; on
the South-east by the dividing range; on the South
the southern boundary of the province; and on
the North-west by the ocean.

And I do declare that this Proclamation shall come
into operation and take effect on the first day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
six.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of
Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and Baron
Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in the County
of York, in the Peerage of the United
Kingdom; and Baron Mulgrave of New
Ross, in the County of Wexford, in the
Peerage of Ireland; a Member of Her
Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Coun-
cil; Knight Commander of the Most
Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and
Saint George; Governor and Commander-
in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its Depend-
encies, and Vice-Admiral of the same;
and issued under the Seal of the said
Colony, at the Government House, at
Wellington, this sixth day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-five.
