Constituting a District in Otago under "The Hawke's
Bay and Marlborough Rivers Act, 1868."

(L.S.)
NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance of the Province of
Ordinance, 1870," the Act of the General Assembly
intituled "The Hawke's Bay and Marlborough Rivers
Act, 1868," was brought into operation in the Pro-
vince of Otago: And whereas by the last-mentioned
Act it is enacted that, upon the petition of the
owners or occupiers of not less than three-fourths
of the acreage of any district therein defined, any
part of the province intersected or bounded by any
river or rivers from the overflow of which damage
might be apprehended, the Superintendent should, by
Proclamation in the provincial Gazette, declare that
the Act now in recital should come into operation
within such part of the province, and should by such
Proclamation define the boundaries of the same,
and declare the same to be a district under the now
in part recited Act, and should also affix the name
by which such district should be named: And it is
further enacted by the recited Act that the Super-
intendent should, in such Proclamation, determine
the number of Conservators who are to constitute
the Board for such district; but in no case should
the number be less than five nor more than seven :
And whereas by "The Abolition of Provinces Act,
1875," the powers, duties, and functions vested in
the Superintendent by the said recited Act are now
vested in and are to be exercised and performed by
the Governor :

And whereas a petition signed by the owners or
occupiers of not less than three-fourths of the acre-
age of the district, the boundaries whereof are
defined in the Schedule hereto, has been presented
to me, George Augustus Constantine, Marquis of
Normanby, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, praying that the provisions of "The Hawke's
Bay and Marlborough Rivers Act, 1868," might be
brought into operation within the said district:
And whereas it has been made to appear to my
satisfaction that the said district is bounded by a
river from the overflow of which damage may be
apprehended; and that it is expedient and neces-
sary that the said "Hawke's Bay and Marlborough
Rivers Act, 1868," should be brought into operation
within the said district:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, do hereby, in exercise and pursuance
of the powers and authorities vested in me in this
behalf, proclaim and declare that, from and after the
day of the date hereof, the said "Hawke's Bay and
Marlborough Rivers Act, 1868," shall come into
operation in that portion of the Provincial District
of Otago described in the Schedule hereto, and such
portion of the said provincial district shall be and
the same is hereby constituted a district under the
said "Hawke's Bay and Marlborough Rivers Act,
1868," to be known by the name of the Inch
Clutha River District, and that the boundaries of
the said district shall be those defined in the said
Schedule hereto; and I further proclaim and de-
termine that the number of Conservators who are to
constitute the Board for the said district shall be five.

SCHEDULE.
