of water proposed to be taken for the purposes of
such waterworks, 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 waterworks are 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 publication of such Proclamation, the pro-
visions and regulations contained in the Eighth Part
of the said Act shall be applicable to the lands and
streams and the waterworks to which the Proclama-
tion relates: And it is also thereby enacted that, for
the purposes of the Third Part of the said Act, the
Governor or any person authorized by him, subject
to the restrictions and provisions therein contained,
may exercise any of the following powers (that is to
say),—He may enter upon any lands and take the
levels of the same, and set out such parts thereof as
he thinks necessary, and dig and break up the soil of
such lands, and remove or use all earth, stones, trees,
or other things dug or gotten out of the same : He
may enter upon, take and hold such land as shall
from time to time be specified in any Proclamation
made under the Third Part of the said Act for the
construction or improvement of any works authorized
in and by the Third Part of the said Act: He may
from time to time make, maintain, or alter such
reservoirs, dams, races, aqueducts, waterworks, drains,
pipes, culverts, engines and other works, and erect
such buildings in or upon the lands and streams
authorized to be taken as he thinks fit: He may
from time to time divert and impound the water from
any such streams as shall be specified in any such
Proclamation, or alter the course of any such
streams:

And whereas by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1873," it is enacted that it shall be suffi-
cient, in any Proclamation under and for the pur-
poses of Part III. of the said Act, to describe in
general language the waterworks to be constructed,
and the lands and streams of water proposed to be
taken; and it shall not be necessary that such water-
works, lands, and streams shall have been surveyed,
or be specified by name or boundaries or area:

And whereas by a Resolution passed by the Pro-
vincial Council of the Province of Nelson on the
twenty-fifth day of May, 1871, and assented to and
concurred in by the Superintendent of the said
Province, the Governor was requested to construct
works for the supply of water to the Nelson South-
West Gold Fields (the same being duly proclaimed
gold fields): And whereas, in accordance with the
terms of the said Resolution, the Governor has deter-
mined to construct and maintain certain works for
supplying water to the said gold fields:

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of the powers and authori-
ties conferred on me by the hereinbefore recited
Acts, and in exercise of every other power
enabling me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim, de-
clare, and specify that the waterworks proposed to
be constructed under the said Acts are waterworks
for the purpose of supplying water from Lake
Hochstetter and its tributaries, and other streams as
mentioned in the Schedule hereto, to a portion of the
Nelson South-West Gold Fields aforesaid, together
with all such drains, races, aqueducts, pipes, culverts,
buildings, and other works that may be requisite or
necessary for the said waterworks; and I do hereby
also proclaim and declare that the lands and streams
of water proposed to be taken for the purpose of such
waterworks are those which are described in general
language in the Schedule hereto. And in pursuance
and exercise of all powers and authorities conferred

on me in that behalf, I do hereby fix the point of
commencement of the said waterworks to be a point
at Lake Hochstetter, and the point of termination
thereof to be a point at, near, or in Farmer's Gully,
in the Province of Nelson.
