NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by “The Marriage Act Amendment Act, 1858,” it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor at any time, by Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to divide the Colony of New Zealand for the purposes of the said Act into such and so many districts as he may 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 portion 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 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 “Rangiora” 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-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:

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 comprised within such districts shall be and the same is hereby otherwise divided, for the purposes of the said Act, into two districts, respectively designated by the same name, the boundaries whereof shall be as follow:—
