A PROCLAMATION.

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 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 pur
poses 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, 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 "East Taieri 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 VI, Dunedin and East Taieri Survey
District; towards the south by a line round the
southern boundary of the said block to the boundary
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 XIX and irregular block; thence along
that road line and its continuation to 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.

George Grey, Knight Commander of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath,
