A PROCLAMATION

Appointing certain Districts under the "Registration Act."

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,

WHEREAS by the "Registration Act, 1858," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor at any time, by proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to divide the Colony of New Zealand, for the purposes of the said Act, into such and so many Districts as he may think fit, and that every such District shall be called by a distinct name, and shall be a Registrar’s District; and it is provided that the Governor may at any time revoke the whole or any part of such Proclamation, and issue a new Proclamation dividing the Colony or any part of it anew into Districts, or increasing the number or altering the boundaries of Districts, as from time to time he may think requisite;

And whereas by a Proclamation duly made and issued, bearing date the twenty-second day of July, 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 Wakatipu 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 Wakatipu District, and do proclaim and declare that the territory formerly comprised within such District shall be and is hereby divided, for the purposes of the said Act, into two Districts, the names and boundaries whereof shall be as follows:—

Arrow District
comprises all that area bounded towards the North and East by the Wanaka District, and by the Dunstan Districts; towards the South by the Kawarau River; and on the West by the Watershed of the Shotover and Arrow Rivers.

Wakatipu District
comprises all that area bounded towards the North by the Province of Canterbury; towards the East by Wanaka, Arrow, and Dunstan Districts; towards the South by the Warepa District, by the Province of Southland, and by the Ocean; and on the West by the Ocean.

And I do declare that this Proclamation shall come into operation and take effect on the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.

Given under my hand at the Government House, at Auckland, and issued under the Seal of the Colony of New Zealand, this thirtieth day of April, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.

G. GREY.

By His Excellency’s command,
WILLIAM FOX.
