other things, enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor from time to time, by Proclamation in the
General Government Gazette, to enlarge, contract, or
otherwise alter the boundaries of gold-mining dis-
tricts constituted under the said Act:

And whereas it is, among other things, further
enacted by the one hundred and eighty-seventh sec-
tion of the said Act that every district constituted
under "The Gold-Mining Districts Act, 1871," shall
be deemed to be a district constituted under the now
reciting Act:

"Gold-Mining Districts Act, 1871," a certain district
within the Province of Auckland has been proclaimed

time to time been enlarged under the authority of
the said Acts:

cepting any other portion of the said land now
lawfully occupied for mining purposes.
