A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," it is enacted that the rail-
ways to be constructed under the said Act shall be
only such railways as shall from time to time be
determined by the General Assembly: And it is also
thereby enacted that, subject to the provisions con-
tained therein, the Governor may construct, or cause
to be constructed, any lines of railway which shall
be prescribed by the General Assembly as railways
to be constructed under the said Act, or any part or
parts thereof, and acquire the necessary engines,
plant and machinery for working and using the same,
or any of them: And it is also thereby enacted that,
whenever the Governor shall determine to construct
any such railway, or any part thereof, it shall be
lawful for him, by Proclamation published in the New
Zealand Gazette, to declare and define the limits and
description and line thereof, and the lands proposed
to be taken for the purpose of such railway, subject
to the provisions of any Act defining such limits and
descriptions, and any such Proclamation may refer to
maps, plans, or drawings to be deposited in the office
of the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Supreme
Court in the Province in which such railway or part
thereof is proposed to be constructed, and any maps,
plans, or drawings so referred to shall be deemed to
form part of such Proclamation; and upon the pub-
lication of such Proclamation the provisions and
regulations contained in the Seventh Part of the
said Act shall be applicable to the railway, and to the
lands to which the Proclamation shall relate: And it
is also thereby enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor to make, construct, and maintain any such
railway as aforesaid, with proper works, approaches,
and conveniences connected therewith, commencing
at the place delineated on, and extending along the
lines set forth in, and terminating at a point de-
scribed in the Act or Proclamation proclaiming and
defining such railway, or shown in the maps, plans, or
drawings referred to in such Act or Proclamation:
And it is also thereby enacted that, subject to the
provisions of that Part of the said Act and of the Acts
incorporated therewith, the Governor may exercise all
or any of the powers by that Part of the said Act or
the said incorporated Acts conferred upon him for the
construction of any such railway, and may enter upon,
and cause to be entered upon, all lands within the
Colony for the purpose of making such surveys
as may be necessary, and may take and hold
all the lands required for the railway along the line
set forth and described as aforesaid, or within the
limits of deviation described in the Proclamation
relating thereto, and may temporarily occupy and
use such lands as may be necessary on either side of
the railway, during the construction thereof:

And whereas by "The Railways Act, 1870," it is
enacted that the Governor may, under the provisions
of the first-mentioned Act, construct and maintain, or
cause to be constructed and maintained, the several
lines or parts of lines of railway in the Province of
Canterbury specified in the Second Schedule thereto:

And whereas the Governor has determined to con-
struct and maintain that part of the line of railway
firstly specified in the said Schedule, viz., that part
of the Great Northern Railway, in the Province of
Canterbury, between Addington Station and the Town
of Rangiora, at a point to be fixed by the Governor:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and
pursuance of the powers and authorities conferred
on me by the said first-mentioned Act in this
behalf, do hereby proclaim, declare, and define the
limits, description, and line of the said railway to
be those set forth in the First Schedule hereto; and
that the lands specified and described in the Second
Schedule hereto are proposed to be taken for the
purposes of the said railway; and that the limits of
deviation shall be those set forth in the said First
Schedule hereto; and in pursuance of the powers and
authorities conferred on me by "The Railways Act,
1870," I do declare that the point of termination of
the said railway shall be at or near a point on the
north side of the River Marsh Road, seventeen chains
east of the north end of Boys' direct Rangiora Road.
