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 proclamations duly made and issued, bearing date respectively the thirtieth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and the 29th day of August, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the Governor, in pursuance of the said recited power and authority, did constitute two districts for the purposes of the said Act, called respectively the "Nokomai" and the "Popotunoa" Districts, the boundaries of the "Nokomai" District, being set forth in the first named proclamation, which said proclamation came into operation and took effect on the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, and the boundaries of the "Popotunoa" District being set forth in the last-named proclamation, 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 proclamations as relates to the said districts, and to divide anew the territory formerly comprised within such districts :

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 "Nokomai" and "Popotunoa" Districts, and do proclaim and declare that the territory formerly comprised within such districts shall be, and is hereby divided for the purposes of the said Act into the two following districts, the names and boundaries whereof shall be as follows :--
