THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

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

WHEREAS 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 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 de-
clare 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 by 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
