W HEREAS by "The Marriage Act Amendment
Act, 1858," it is enacted. that it shall be
lawful for the Governor at any 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 twenty-third day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the
then Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power
and authority, did, amongst others, constitute a district
for the purposes of the said Aet, 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 recited power
and authority, did constitute a district, for the pur-
poses of the said 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
proclaim and declare that the territory formerly
comprised within the said districts shall be comprised
in one district, the name and boundaries whereof shall
be as follow:-

southerly along the said roads to the River Tere-
makau; thence along the southern bank of that
river to the sea coast, and along the sea coast to the
south headland of the Forarari River, the commencing
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.
