is, amongst other things, enacted that the
Governor shall, as soon as conveniently may be

the Government Gazette, define such territorial divi-
sions as he may think proper to be licensing districts
for the purposes of the said Act, and from time to
time may alter and redefine the boundaries of the
same:

And whereas by a Proclamation bearing date the
twenty-third day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-four, the Districts of Whangarei
Heads, Whangarei, and Mangapai were, amongst
others, constituted under the said "Licensing Act,
1873:" And whereas by a Proclamation bearing

the said Districts of Whangarei Heads and Mangapai,
and to alter and redefine the boundaries of the said

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert Robin-
son, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in

recited Act, and of every power and authority
