By His Excellency Sir GEORGE 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., &c.

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and issued, bearing date the 22nd day of July, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, the Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and authority, did amongst others constitute a District for the purposes of the said Act, called the “Wakatip District,” the boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which said Proclamation came into operation and took effect on the first day of September, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three;

And whereas it is expedient to revoke so much of the said Proclamation as relates to the said District, and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised within such District:

Now therefore I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of the said Colony in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said recited Act, do hereby revoke the said Proclamation, so far as relates to the “Wakatip District,” and do proclaim and declare that the territory formerly comprised within such
