and maintain a Railway and works in the
said Act particularly described, and it was
provided by the said Act that the powers con-

the railway be commenced until a bona fide
provision, to the satisfaction of the Governor
in Council, should have been made by the
Superintendent, or by the Provincial Legis-
lature, for obtaining the money necessary for
the completion of the railway, and the effi-

Act of the Provincial Legislature of Auck-

for the purpose of constructing the said
Railway to be paid out of the money to be
raised by virtue of another Act of the said
Provincial Legislature, called the "Loan
Act, 1863."

Now therefore His Excellency the Gover-
or, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the Colony, in pur-
suance of the first-named Act, doth hereby
order and declare that satisfactory provision
