Altering the Boundaries of Nelson South-West Mining
District.
(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by a Proclamation under the hand of
the Superintendent of Nelson, bearing date
the eighth day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, certain land therein specified, with
certain exceptions, being that described in the First
and Second Schedules hereto, was declared to be a
gold field under the name of the "Nelson South-
West Gold Fields:"
And whereas by the sixth section of "The Mines
Act, 1877," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for
the Governor from time to time, by Proclamation,
to constitute and appoint any portion of the colony
to be a mining district under that Act, to assign
boundaries to such district, to enlarge, contract, or
otherwise alter such boundaries, and to declare by
what local name every such district shall be desig-
nated; and that, until the Governor shall otherwise
order, every gold field duly proclaimed or constituted
at the time of the commencement of the now recited
Act shall be deemed a mining district under the said
Act:
And whereas it is desirable and expedient to con-
tract the boundaries of the said gold field, so as to
exclude therefrom the land described in the First
Schedule hereto:
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 authorities vested in me by "The Mines
Act, 1877," do hereby proclaim and order that the
boundaries of the land described in the said Pro-
clamation of the Superintendent of Nelson shall
be and the same are hereby contracted, so that
such boundaries shall exclude the land described in
the First Schedule hereto, and that the boundaries
of the land declared by the Proclamation above
mentioned to be included in the "Nelson South-
West Gold Fields," shall henceforth be those of
specified in the Second Schedule.
