His Excellency the Governor in Council.

Whereas by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” it is provided that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, under his hand and the Public Seal of the Colony, from time to time to delegate to the Superintendent of any Province or to such other person as the Governor may deem fit, all or any of the powers vested in the Governor or the Governor in Council by the said Act, except the powers conferred by sections twenty-two, forty, forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred and seven thereof, subject or not to any limitations or restrictions as he may think fit, and in like manner to alter or revoke any such powers.

And whereas it is further provided that whenever the Governor shall have delegated to the Superintendent of any Province all or any of the aforesaid powers, it shall be lawful for the Governor, by Order in Council, to appoint and declare that all costs, charges, and expenses, incident to the management and administration of the Goldfields within such Province shall be regulated by Acts or Ordinances to be passed by the Superintendent and Provincial Council of such Province.

And whereas by instruments in writing, bearing date the twelfth day of October, 1866, issued under the Seal of the Colony, the Governor with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony and in exercise of the before-recited power, hath delegated to the various Superintendents of the Provinces in the said Colony all the aforesaid powers, excepting those before recited to be excepted, to hold and exercise the said powers within the Provinces aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority for this purpose by the said Act conferred, doth hereby, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the Colony, appoint and declare that all the costs, charges, and expenses, incident to the management and administration of the Gold Fields, within the aforesaid Provinces, shall be regulated by Acts to be passed by the Superintendents and Provincial Councils thereof.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by “The Protection of Certain Animals Act Amendment Act, 1866,” it is amongst other things enacted that the Act shall not come into force in any Province until proclaimed by the Governor in the New Zealand Gazette, and in the Gazette of the Province in which it shall be designed that it shall be brought into force, and only from a date to be fixed therein:

Now therefore I, Sir George Grey, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the above recited Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that “The Protection of Certain Animals Act, 1866,” shall come into force in the Province of Otago, on and from the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.

G. Grey, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by “The Marriage Act Amendment 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 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 “East Taieri 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 said 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:

North Taieri District

Comprises all that area bounded towards the north by the Waikouaiti Registration District; towards the east by the Dunedin Registration District to the south-eastern corner of block IV, Dunedin and East Taieri Survey District; towards the south by a line round the southern boundary of the same block to the boundary line between sections numbered respectively 1 and 7, block XIII, East Taieri Survey District; thence along that boundary line and its continuation in the same direction to the road line between block VIII and irregular block; thence along that road line to another road line between block XIV and irregular block; thence along that road line and its continuation to the Taieri River; and towards the west by the Taieri River.

East Taieri District

Comprises all that area bounded towards the north by the North Taieri Registration District; towards the east by the Dunedin Registration District; towards the south by the Ocean; and towards the west by the Taieri River.

And I do declare that this proclamation shall come into operation and take effect on the eleventh day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.

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 tenth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.
