A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The District Courts Act, 1858,"
it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
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 within which District 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
twenty-third day of January, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-two, 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 Timaru and Oamaru:"

And whereas by Proclamations bearing date the
eighteenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight, and the twenty-seventh 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, James Prendergast, the Ad-
ministrator of the Government of the Colony of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby
proclaim and declare that, from and after the first
day of September next, the boundaries of the district
within which the District Court of Timaru and
Oamaru shall be held shall be altered, and that
thenceforth the boundaries thereof shall be the
boundaries hereinafter described.
