NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Registration 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 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 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repealed thereby shall, until altered, be deemed to be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 fifth day of May, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him, did, amongst others, constitute, for
the purposes of the Acts repealed by the said Act,
a district 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, constitute

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
