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

should be designated by the name of "The District

dred and seventy-eight, and the twenty-seventh day

eight, the boundaries of the said district so defined

boundaries of the said district so defined and altered
as aforesaid:

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, the Admin-
istrator 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

(L.S.)

JAMES PRENDERGAST,
Administrator of the Government.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the fifty-third section of "The
Land Act, 1877," it is enacted that the
Governor, by Proclamation in the Gazette, may from-
time to time set apart out of any suburban or rura
lands such blocks or allotments of land as he shall
think fit, and set the same aside for sale on deferred
payments, and in such Proclamation may fix a day
on which the land shall be open for application; and
that he may also in like manner set apart for sale on
deferred payments such blocks or allotments as may
be recommended by any Land Board, and may also
from time to time alter, amend, or revoke any such
Proclamation:

And whereas the Land Board of Taranaki did, on
the twentieth day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-two, pass a resolution recom-
mending that the land described in the Schedule
hereto annexed should be set apart for sale on de-
ferred payments:

And whereas it is expedient to give effect to the
aforesaid recommendation, and to set apart the said
land accordingly:

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, Chief Jus-
tice of the Colony of New Zealand, and Administrator
of the Government thereof, in pursuance and exer-
cise of the power and authority vested in me by the
above-named Act, do hereby proclaim and declare
that the land described in the Schedule hereto is set
apart for sale on deferred payments; and that
Wednesday, the eighteenth day of October, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-two, shall be the
day on which the said land shall be open for appli-
cation, in allotments as surveyed and marked on the
selection map in the principal land office of the
district.

In pursuance of section four of "The Land Act
1877 Amendment Act, 1879," I do hereby declare
that subsection four of the sixty-third section of
"The Land Act, 1877," shall not apply to any of the
lands described in the Schedule hereto.

And, further, in pursuance of the fifth section of
"The Land Act 1877 Amendment Act, 1879," I do
