Districts under "The Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1875."

(L.S.) 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 it is pro-
vided that the Governor may from time to time alter
or revoke any such Proclamation, and issue a new
Proclamation dividing the colony or any portion of
it anew into districts, or increasing the number of
districts, or altering the boundaries of any district or
districts, as from time to time he may think requisite :
And further that the districts existing at the time of
the coming into operation of the said Act, under any
of the Acts thereby repealed, shall, until altered under
the said Act, 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 August,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, 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 "Rangi-
ora" District, the boundaries whereof were therein
set forth, which said Proclamation came into opera-
tion and took effect on the first day of Novem-
ber, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one:

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 constitute a district for the purposes
of the said Act, called the "Mount Grey" 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 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 Rangiora and Mount Grey Districts,
and do proclaim and declare that the territory com-
prised within such districts shall be and the same is
otherwise divided, for the purposes of the said Act,
