THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

to be taken for the purpose of any such portion or
portions, and to construct any portion or portions
so fixed, and to take the lands for the same; and
any such portion so proclaimed shall be deemed
to be a railway within the meaning of the said Act
and the said amending Act and this Act :
And whereas by the said last-mentioned Act it is
also enacted that, at any time after the expiration of
twenty-one days from the publication in the New
Zealand Gazette, and in a newspaper ordinarily circu-
lating in the district, of a Proclamation, under the
thirteenth section of the said Act, whether of the
whole or a portion or portions of a line of railway,
the Governor, on behalf of Her Majesty, may enter
upon, take possession of, use and hold, or cause to be
entered upon, taken possession of, used and held, so
much of the lands defined in such Proclamation as
proposed to be taken as shall be required to be taken,
purchased, or permanently used for the purposes of
such railway, notwithstanding that an agreement
shall not have been come to or an award made for
the purchase or compensation money to be paid in
respect of such lands :
And whereas by the said last-mentioned Act it is
also enacted that in any case in which a road or
right of road has been or hereafter may be reserved
in any Crown grant, and in any case in which,
under "The Native Lands Act, 1865," or any law for
the time being in force relating to the sale of waste
lands of the Crown, or any law whatever, there is a
right to take a public road through any lands, it shall
be lawful, after such road shall have been surveyed,
to construct under the said Acts any railway or any
part of any railway, on the road so surveyed, not-
withstanding that such road may not have been made:
And whereas the Governor has determined to con-
struct and maintain a railway from Moeraki to
Waitaki, in the Province of Otago, being a rail-
way authorized to be constructed by "The Railways
Act, 1871:"
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 hereinbefore in part recited Acts, and in
exercise of every other power enabling me in this be-
half, do hereby proclaim, declare, and define the limits,
description, and line of the said railway from Moeraki
to Waitaki, 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
and exercise of all powers and authorities con-
ferred on me in that behalf, I do hereby fix the
point of commencement of the said railway to be
a point five chains northward of the junction of the
Moeraki Jetty with the main land; and the point of
termination thereof to be a point in the bed of the
River Waitaki, on the boundary line dividing the
