A PROCLAMATION.

W HEREAS by section six of the Ordinance of
the Superintendent and Provincial Council of
the late Province of Otago shortly intituled "The
Otago Roads Ordinance, 1871," it is enacted that if
a majority in number of the persons on the roll or
rolls for the time being in force under "The Regis-
tration of Electors Act, 1866," or any other Act for
the like purpose, should sign and cause to be
presented to the Superintendent a petition in the
form in the Second Schedule to the said Ordinance,
or to the like effect, praying him to constitute the
portion of the province in which such persons should
reside a road district under the said Ordinance, and
in such petition should set forth the boundaries of
the portion of the province to which such petition
should refer, it should be lawful for the Superin-
tendent, if he should think fit so to do, by Procla-
mation to constitute such portion of the province
a road district by such name as in and by the
Proclamation should be assigned to the same : And
it is in the said section of the said Ordinance further
enacted and provided that the said Superintendent
might, by the Proclamation constituting such road
district, declare the number of electoral subdivisions
thereinafter called subdivisions into which such
district might be subdivided, and define the boun-
daries of such subdivisions respectively: And
whereas by virtue of "The Abolition of Provinces
Act, 1875," all the powers, duties, and functions
vested in, or to be exercised or performed by, the
Superintendent of the said late Province of Otago
under "The Otago Roads Ordinance, 1871," are now
vested in and may be exercised and performed by
the Governor: And whereas a majority in number
of the persons on the roll for the time being in force
under "The Registration of Electors Act, 1866,"
and the various acts of the General Assembly of
New Zealand amending the same, resident in that
portion of the late Province and now Provincial
District of Otago described in the First Schedule
hereunder written, have signed and caused to be
presented to me a petition in the form prescribed by
the said Ordinance, praying me to constitute the
said portion of the said provincial district described
in the said First Schedule hereunder written a road
district under the said Ordinance:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, in exercise of the powers conferred
upon me by the said Ordinance and the said Act,
and of all other powers and authorities enabling me
in this behalf, do hereby constitute and proclaim all
that portion of the Provincial District of Otago
described in the said First Schedule hereunder
written a road district under the said "Otago Roads
Ordinance, 1871," by the name of "The South
Wyndham Road District:" And I do hereby further
proclaim and declare that the said South Wyndham
