WELLINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1876.

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

(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the seventh section of "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 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 it is provided that the Governor may
from time to time alter or revoke any such Procla-
mation, 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thereby repealed, shall, until altered under the said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 twenty-third day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him by "The Registration Act, 1858," did,
amongst others, constitute a district for the pur-
poses of the last-mentioned Act, called the "Cobden"
District, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth:

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and
issued, bearing date the first day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the then
Governor, in pursuance of the said power and
authority, did constitute a district, for the purposes
of the said last-mentioned Act, called the "Grey"
District, the boundaries whereof were therein set
forth:

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 Cobden and Grey Districts, and do pro-
claim and declare that the territory formerly com-
prised within the said districts shall be comprised
in one district, the name and boundaries whereof
shall be as follow:-

GREY DISTRICT.

Commencing at the south headland of the Porarari
River; thence along the watershed line which in-
cludes all the drainage area of the Porarari River to
the Paparoha Range; thence along the Paparoha
Range southward to the junction of the Rivers
Arnold and Grey; thence along the Arnold River to
Lake Brunner; thence south-westerly along Lake
Brunner and the watershed of Cariboo Creek and
Blackwater Creek to the Greenstone and Hohonu
Roads; thence southerly along the said roads to the
River Teremakau; thence along the southern bank
of that river to the sea coast, and along the sea coast
to the south headland of the Perarari River, the com-
mencing point.

And I hereby declare that this Proclamation shall
come into operation and take effect on the fifteenth
day of November, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-six.
