Amendment Ordinance, 1862," it is among other
things enacted in the 12th section thereof, that for
the purposes of the said Ordinance, the said Province,
except as is therein excepted, may, from time to time,
be divided into districts; and until otherwise provided
pursuant to the provisions of the said Ordinance, there
shall be twenty-five districts, which shall be named
and bounded as described in the schedule to the said
Ordinance annexed; and it is also in the said 12th
section provided that it shall be lawful for the Super-
intendent, with the advice and consent of the General
Road Board, from time to time, by proclamation in
the Government Gazette, to alter, vary, diminish, or
enlarge the boundaries of any or all of such districts,
and to increase the number of districts, by forming
and naming new districts, or by dividing any district
into two or more districts.

And Whereas by proclamation in the Government
Gazette, number 317, and dated August the seventh,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, the West
Taieri Road District, named and described in the sche-
dule to the said Ordinance, was divided, and the
Waipori Road District formed. And Whereas the
said Waipori Road District is by the said proclama-
tion described as comprising all that area bounded on
the north-west by the boundary of the Hundreds; on
the north-east by the West Taieri Road District; on
the south-east by the Taieri River; and on the south-
west by the Waipori Lake and Waipori River. And
Whereas it is expedient to divide the said Waipori
Road District, and to form a new Road District, to be
called the Henley Road District; Now therefore I,
John Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the said Pro-
vince, with the Advice and Consent of the Otago
General Road Board, do hereby Proclaim and Declare
that the boundaries of the said Waipori Road District
shall from the day of the date hereof be altered and
diminished. And that from the day of the date hereof

THE WAIPORI ROAD DISTRICT shall comprise
All that area bounded on the north-west by the
boundary Hundreds; on the south and south-
west by the Waipori River; on the south-east
by blocks VI., V., IV., and III., Maung Atua
Survey District, to the western corner of section 4,
block II., West Taieri Survey District; thence on the
north-east by the boundary line between sections 11
and 12, block II., West Taieri Survey District, and its
continuation in the same direction to the boundary of
the Hundreds. And I do also Proclaim and Declare
that from the day of the date hereof there shall be a
New Road District, to be called

THE HENLEY ROAD DISTRICT, comprising All
that area bounded on the north by section 38, irre-
gular block, West Taieri Survey District; on the
north-west by blocks I. and II., Maung Atua Survey
