Kaikoura Sheep District, should be constituted:

Now, therefore, I, William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me by the
eighth section of "The Sheep Act, 1878," do hereby consti-
tute anew the Marlborough Sheep District, and the subdivi-
sions thereof respectively, and hereby constitute a new
district, to be called the Kaikoura Sheep District; and I
do hereby declare that, for the purposes of the said Act, the
said districts and the subdivisions of the Marlborough Sheep
District shall hereafter be as the same are described in the
Schedule hereto, including in such districts or subdivisions
all boroughs within the territorial area comprised within the
external boundaries of any such district or subdivision as
defined in the said Schedule, although such boroughs do not
actually form part of any county therein mentioned; and
that such districts and subdivisions shall be known by the
names set over each such district and subdivision respectively
in the said Schedule.
