A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the three hundred and fifty fourth
section of "The Municipal Corporations Act,
1876," it is, amongst other things, enacted that the
Governor in Council may, by Proclamation, declare
the Corporation of any borough to be dissolved, sub-
ject, amongst other things, to the following conditions,
namely: The Councils of the borough and of the
county within whose limits such borough is shall
agree upon the terms and conditions upon which such
borough shall be dissolved, and shall jointly petition
the Governor, praying him to dissolve the Corporation
of the borough, subject to the terms and conditions so
agreed on; that public notice of such petition shall
be given in such borough and county, and if within
three months after the publication of such notice
one-fourth of the ratepayers of the county, or one-
fourth of the burgesses of the borough, petition the
Governor, praying him not to dissolve the Corpora-
tion of the borough, no such Proclamation shall be
issued:

And whereas a joint petition has been presented
to the Governor by the Council of the Borough of
Clyde, and by the Council of the County of Vincent,
being the county within whose limits such borough
is, praying the Governor to dissolve the Corporation
of the said Borough of Clyde, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in Part XIV. of the said Act;
and public notice was given of such petition in the
Dunstan Times, of the seventh day of June last past,
and in the Cromwell Argus, of the eleventh day of
June last past, both being newspapers circulating in
the said borough and in the said county:

And whereas no petition has been presented to the
Governor praying him not to dissolve the Corporation
of the said borough, and all things have happened
and been done to authorize this Proclamation to be
issued:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities vested in me by the said recited Act,
do hereby proclaim and declare that, from and after
the twenty-first day of September, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-eight, the Corporation of the
said Borough of Clyde shall be dissolved, upon and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth and
contained in Part XIV. of the said Act, and the dis-
trict included within the limits of the said borough
shall be included in and form part of the County of
Vincent aforesaid.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
