NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the seventh section of "The Re-
gistration of Births and Deaths Act, 1875," it
is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor
from time to time, by Proclamation in the New Zea-
land Gazette, to divide the colony for the purposes
of the said Act into such and so many districts as he
shall 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 districts exist-
ing at the time of the coming into operation of the
said Act under any of the Acts repealed thereby shall,
until altered, be deemed to be districts proclaimed
under the said Act:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the sixteenth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him, did, amongst others, constitute a
district called the "Cambelltown" District, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which said
Proclamation came into operation and took effect on
the first day of September, one thousand eight hun-
dred and sixty-three:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the twelfth day of March, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him, did constitute the Island of Ruapeke a
separate and distinct district, which said Proclamation
came into operation and took effect on and from the
eighth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-four:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamations as relate to the said districts,
and to proclaim anew the territory comprised within
such districts as one 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 Proclamations, so far as they
relate to the "Cambelltown" and "Ruapuke" Dis-
tricts, and do proclaim and declare that the territory
formerly comprised within the said districts shall be
comprised in one district, the name and boundaries
whereof shall be as follow:---

CAMPBELLTOWN DISTRICT.

Bounded on the East by the Mataura River; on the
South by the ocean; on the West by the estuary of
the New River; and on the North by the Mokomoko
Inlet, and a right line from the south-east corner
thereof, drawn east to cut the Mataura. Including
also Dog Island and the Island of Ruapuke.

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