A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Licensing Act, 1873," it is,
amongst other things, enacted that the Go-
vernor shall, as soon as conveniently may be after
the passing of the said Act, by Proclamation in the
Government Gazette, define such territorial divisions
as he may think proper to be licensing districts
for the purposes of the said Act, and from time to
time may alter and re-define the boundaries of the
same:

And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the
twenty-third day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-four, the Districts of Mongonui,
Hokianga, and Bay of Islands were, amongst others,
constituted under the said "Licensing Act, 1873:"

And whereas it is expedient to abolish, as from the
first day of January next, the said districts, and define
other districts in lieu thereof:

of New Zealand, in pursuance of the provisions of
the hereinbefore recited Act, and of every power
and authority enabling me in this behalf, do hereby
abolish, as from the first day of January next, the
said Districts of Mongonui, Hokianga, and Bay of
Islands, and do proclaim, constitute, and appoint, from
and after the said first day of January next, that the
territorial division, the boundaries whereof are defined
and set forth in the Schedule hereto, shall be licens-
ing districts for the purposes of the said Act; and
that such districts shall be known by the names by
which they are respectively designated in the said
Schedule.

And I do further proclaim and declare that three
members of the Licensing Court constituted for each
such district, inclusive of the Chairman, shall form a
quorum thereof.
