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 described in, the Act or Proclamation proclaim-
ing 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
the Governor may direct that any part of such line
of railway may be constructed on and along any part
of any public highway, and that any part of any such
line of railway may be constructed on or through
any public reserves: 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 tem-
porarily 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, 1871," and
"The Railways Act, 1872," it is enacted that the
Governor may, under the provisions of the herein-
before firstly recited Act and of the now reciting
Acts, construct and maintain, or cause to be con-
structed and maintained, the several lines of railway
specified therein: And it is also thereby enacted
that the line of the railways thereby authorized to be
constructed shall be fixed by the Governor, and shall
commence and terminate at points to be fixed by the
Governor: And whereas by "The Immigration and
Public Works Act, 1872," it is enacted that as to
any railway which the Governor has been authorized
to construct, and to fix the commencing and termina-
tion points and line thereof, it shall be competent for
him, if he thinks fit, instead of fixing and proclaiming
such points and the whole line at one time, to fix and
proclaim portions of such line from time to time, and
the commencing and termination points of any such
portion or portions, and the limits and description of
any such portion or portions, and the lands proposed
