GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

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
Otago intituled "The Management of Rivers
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, in 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 opera-
tion 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 Superin-
tendent should, in such Proclamation, determine the
number of Conservators who are to constitute the
Board for such district; but in no case shall 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 necessary
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,
the Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the
powers and authorities vested in me in this behalf, do
proclaim and declare that, from and after the day of
the date hereof, the said "Hawke's Bay and Marl-
borough Rivers Act, 1868," shall come into operation
in that portion of the Provincial District of Otago
