Governor from time to time, as he shall think fit, by
Proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to con-
stitute throughout the colony, or in any part thereof,
districts which Courts shall be re-
spectively held, and such districts to abolish, and the
boundaries thereof to define or alter:

And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the
eighth day of November, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-four, a district was defined within which a
District Court should be held under the said Act, and
it was thereby declared that the said Court should be
designated by the name of "The District Court of

And whereas by Proclamations bearing date the
tenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-five, and the twenty-third day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight, and the
eighteenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight, the boundaries of the said district
so defined were altered:

And whereas it is expedient to further alter the
boundaries of the said district so defined and altered
as aforesaid:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authority vested in me by the said Act,
do hereby proclaim and declare that, from and after
