Deaths Act, 1875."

(L.S.) 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 further, that the districts existing 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Act under any of the Acts repealed thereby shall,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 twenty-fifth day of June, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him, did, amongst others, constitute a dis-
trict called the "Nokomai and Switzers" District, the
boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which
said Proclamation came into operation and took
effect on the first day of August, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-eight:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the fourteenth day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute dis-
tricts, called the "Popotuna" District and the
"Lower Mataura" District, the boundaries whereof
were therein set forth, which said Proclamation came
into operation and took effect on the first day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy:

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 said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute a dis-
trict called the "Invercargill" District, the boundaries
whereof were therein set forth, which said Proclama-
tion came into operation and took effect on the first
day of September, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of
the said Proclamations as relates to the said districts,
and to divide anew the territory comprised within
such districts:

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the said
colony, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
