North 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 Wairarapa North County, being the local authority having jurisdiction in that behalf, to submit a new name for such settlement for my approval as mentioned in the said section: And whereas the said Council hath accordingly submitted to me the name of “Hamua” in lieu of the existing name of “Hawera”:

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 Settlement of Hawera in the Wairarapa North County shall be and the same is hereby altered to “Hamua,” and do assign the last-mentioned name to such settlement accordingly, and also do hereby proclaim and declare that this Proclamation shall take effect on and after the sixth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right Honourable David, Earl of Glasgow; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and St. George; Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at the Government House, at Wellington, this second day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.
