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 thirtieth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, 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 “Warepa District,” the boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which said Proclamation came into operation and took effect on the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

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 Warepa 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:—

POPOTUNOA DISTRICT

Comprises all that area bounded towards the north by the Nokomai Registration District; towards the east by the Manuherikia, Mount Benger, and Gabriel’s Registration Districts, and the Clutha River to the West Clutha Hundred; and by the western boundaries of the said West Clutha Hundred and Catlin’s Hundred to the ocean; towards the south by the ocean; and towards the west by the Province of Southland.

CLUTHA DISTRICT

Comprises all that area bounded towards the west by the Popotunoa Registration District; towards the north and east by the Clutha River and its Kaou branches; and towards the south by the ocean.

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

Given under the hand of 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, at the Government House, at Wellington, and issued under the seal of the said Colony this twenty-ninth day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
