Changing the Name of Oxford (Auckland).

(L.S.) GLASGOW, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS there are now existing two places in the
Colony of New Zealand bearing the same name,
that is to say, the Township of Oxford in the County of
Ashley, and the Township of Oxford in the Piako County,
the last-named being the more recent in date of existence:
And whereas, under the fourth section of "The Designation
of Districts Act, 1894," I lately required the County Council
of the Piako County, being the local authority having juris-
diction in that behalf, to submit a new name for such town-
ship for my approval, as mentioned in the said section:
And whereas the said Council hath accordingly submitted to
me the name of "Tirau" in lieu of the existing name of
"Oxford":

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred on me by sections two and four of
"The Designation of Districts Act, 1894," and of all other
powers and authorities enabling me in this behalf, I, David,
Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
do hereby proclaim and declare that the name of the Town-
ship of Oxford in the Piako County shall be and the same is
hereby altered to "Tirau," and do assign the last-mentioned
name to such township accordingly, and also do hereby
proclaim and declare that this Proclamation shall take effect
on and after the first day of December, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-five.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right
Honourable David, Earl of Glasgow; Knight
Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of
