Grey, Knight Commander
of the most Honourable Order
of the Bath, Governor and
Commander-in-Chief in and
over Her Majesty’s Colony
of New Zealand and its
Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same, &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand, intituled
“The Supreme Court Act, 1860,” it is
enacted that it shall be lawful for the Go-
vernor in Council, from time to time, to
divide the Colony into Judicial Districts
for the purposes of the said Act, and the
limits of such Districts from time to time
to alter as occasion may require: and by
the said Act it is further provided that
the Governor in Council shall assign every
such District to a Judge or Judges of the
Supreme Court, who shall have within the
same all the powers and jurisdiction by the
said Act given to the Court: And it is
further provided that there shall be held
Circuit Courts for the dispatch of Civil and
Criminal business of the Court before one
of the Judges thereof; at such times and
places as the Governor in Council may
from time to time appoint: And whereas
by a Proclamation dated the twenty-sixth
day of February, one thousand eight hun-
dred and sixty-one, issued under the hand
of Thomas Gore Browne, Esquire, then the
Governor of the said Colony, and under
the Public Seal thereof, the said Colony
for the purposes of the said Act was divided
into three Districts, called respectively the
Northern District, the Middle District, and
the Southern District, which Districts are
particularly described in the said Proclama-
tion, and in the said Proclamation the said
Southern District was assigned unto Henry
Barnes Gresson, Esquire, a Judge of the
said Court, and certain times and places
were appointed for holding Circuit Courts
as aforesaid for the said Southern District:
And whereas by a Proclamation made and
issued as aforesaid, bearing date the sixth
day of May, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-one, Circuit Courts were appoint-
ed to be held at Dunedin, in the said
Southern District, on the days therein
mentioned: And whereas it is expedient
that a new District, under the said Act,
should be formed by the division of the
said Southern District into two Districts:

Now therefore I, Sir George Grey, the
Governor of the said Colony, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council
thereof, do hereby in pursuance and execu-
tion of the said Act, annul the said last
recited Proclamation, and do revoke the
said first recited Proclamation so far as con-
cerns the said Southern District, and do here-
by proclaim and declare that for the purposes
of the said Act, that portion of the Colony
which is situated to the South of the boun-
