PROVINCE OF WESTLAND GAZETTE.

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 twelfth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, 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 “Greymouth 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-seven:

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, the Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, 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 “Greymouth 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:

Grey District.

Commencing at the mouth of the River Grey; thence southerly along the sea coast to southern bank of River Teremakau; thence up the southern bank of that river to the Greenstone Road; thence northerly along the Greenstone and Hohonu Roads; thence north-easterly along the water-shed of Blackwater Creek and Cariboo Creek to Lake Brunner; thence northerly along Lake Brunner to Arnold River; thence north-westerly along Arnold River to Grey River, and thence westerly along the southern bank of Grey River to the commencing point.

Greenstone District.

Commencing at Lake Brunner and following south-westerly along the water-shed of Cariboo Creek and Blackwater Creek; thence southerly along the Greenstone and Hurunui Roads to the southern bank of Teremakau River; thence easterly along the southern bank of Teremakau River to the saddle between the sources of the Hurunui and the Teremakau River; thence westerly in a straight line along the boundary of Nelson Province to the Arnold River; and thence southerly along the western shore of Lake Brunner to the commencing point.

And I hereby declare that this Proclamation shall come into operation and take effect on the first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, a Member of Her Majesty’s Most Honorable Privy Council, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty’s Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at Wellington, this first day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.

DANIEL POLLEN.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
