thereof and the exemptions therefrom, and from
time to time in like manner may reduce, raise, alter,
and abolish any such tolls: And whereas a ferry

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 from time to time, by Pro-
clamation in the New Zealand 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 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 fifth day of May, one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-three, the then Governor,
in pursuance of the power and authority vested in
him, did, amongst others, constitute a district, for the
purposes of the said Act, called the "Waipukurau"
District, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-three:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the twenty-seventh day of August,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, the
then Governor, in pursuance of the power and
authority vested in him, did, amongst others, con-
stitute districts, for the purposes of the said Act,
called the "Porangahau" District and the "Tamaki"
District, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth, which said Proclamation came into operation
and took effect on the first day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-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 formerly 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
authority vested in me by the said recited Act, do
hereby revoke the said Proclamations so far as they
relate to the Waipukurau, Porangahau, and Tamaki
Districts, and do proclaim and declare that the terri-
tory formerly comprised within the said districts shall
be and the same is hereby divided, for the purposes of
the said Act, into four districts, the names and
boundaries whereof shall be as follows:—

WAIPAWA DISTRICT.
Bounded to the North by the southern boundary of
the Napier District; to the East by the Tuki Tuki
River; to the South by the Tuki Tuki River to its
source, and thence by a straight line running due west
to the western boundary of the Province of Hawke's
Bay; and to the West by that boundary to the
Ngaruroro River.

WAIPUKURAU DISTRICT.
Bounded to the North by the southern boundaries
