A Proclamation

Appointing certain Districts under the
“Marriage Act Amendment Act, 1858.”

By His Excellency Sir George

the Most Honourable Order of
the Bath, Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief in and over
Her Majesty’s Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies,
and Vice Admiral of the same,
&c., &c., &c.

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 pur-
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 Regis-
trar’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 sixth
day of July, One thousand eight hundred
and fifty-nine, 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
Wairarapa District, the boundaries where-
of were thereinto set forth which said
Proclamation came into operation and
took effect on the first day of October,
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-
ine.

voke so much of the said Proclamation
as relates to the said Districts and to
divide anew the territory formerly com-
pised within such District:

Now, therefore, I, Sir George Grey,
Governor of the said Colony, in pursu-
ance and exercise of the power and
authority in me vested by the said recited
Act, do hereby revoke the said Procla-
mation so far as relates to the Wairarapa
District, and do proclaim and declare
that the territory formerly comprised
within such District shall be and is here-
by divided for the purposes of the said
Act into two Districts the names and
boundaries whereof shall be as follows:—

Bounded on the North by the Southern
boundary of Porangahau District, and
part of the Southern boundary of the
Wanganui District, on the East by the
Coast, on the South by the Northern

of Greytown District and part of
Eastern boundary of Wellington District.
