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 twenty-ninth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and authority, did constitute a district for the purposes of the said Act, called the "Clutha District," the boundaries whereof were therein set forth, which said proclamation came into operation and took effect on the first day of October, 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 "Clutha 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:—

KAIHIKU DISTRICT

comprises the whole of the area contained within the West Clutha Hundred, bounded towards the north-west by the Popotunoa Registration District, towards the north-east by the Clutha River, towards the south-east by the East Clutha Hundred, and towards the south-west by the Popotunoa Registration District.

CLUTHA DISTRICT

comprises all that area bounded towards the north-west by the West Clutha Hundred, towards the east by the Clutha and its Kaou branch, towards the south by the ocean, and towards the west by the Popotunoa Registration District.

And I hereby declare that this proclamation shall come into operation and take effect on the tenth day of June, 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, and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at Wellington, this fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.

E. W. Stafford.
