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 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 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 thirteenth day of July, one

Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and
authority, did, amongst others, constitute a district

the said Proclamation as relates to the said district,
and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised
within such district:

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 Proclamation so far as it
relates to the Waimea District, and do proclaim and
declare that the territory comprised within such dis-
trict shall be and the same is hereby otherwise
divided, for the purposes of the said Act, into two
districts, the names, the boundaries whereof shall be

Road aforesaid.

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

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of
