GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Proclaiming certain Lands to have been taken for

(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1872," it is, among other things,
enacted, that whenever it shall become necessary
that any lands which the Governor or the Minister
is, by or under the Acts therein mentioned, or any
Act authorizing the construction of any railway by
the Governor or Minister, authorized to purchase or
take for such railway, or any portion thereof on or
over which a railway authorized by the said Acts, or
any Act to be passed in pursuance thereof, has been
or may hereafter be constructed, should be vested in
Her Majesty the Queen, it shall be lawful for the
Governor or the Minister to cause a map of all such
lands as may have been taken or purchased under
the said Acts, or any Act authorizing the construc-
tion of any railway as aforesaid, or any portion of
such railway, to be prepared. Such map shall fully
and accurately set forth the pieces or parcels of land
intended to be taken and permanently used, or
which have been purchased or taken, or are required
to be vested in Her Majesty for the purposes of any
such railway, and shall be authenticated by the sig-
nature of the Minister, or by that of some person to
be appointed by him for that purpose from time to
time. And it is also enacted that the Minister shall
cause the map to be deposited in the office of the
Registrar of Deeds for the Registration District
within which the lands shall be situated, or if the
lands set forth on any such map shall extend beyond
the boundaries of any one district, then such map
shall be prepared in so many parts as shall be
requisite to delineate the lands within each such
district, and the map or the parts thereof as afore-
said shall be deposited in the office of the Registrar
of Deeds in each Registration District where the
lands shall be situated to which such map relates;
but for the purposes of the said Act, such map,
although consisting of several parts, shall only be
deemed to be one map: And whereas by the said
Act it is further enacted, that it shall thereupon be
lawful for the Governor from time to time, by Pro-
clamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to declare
that the lands set forth in such map, or any of them,
have been taken or acquired for the purposes of the
railway in respect of which the same shall have been
taken or acquired under the said Acts, or any Act
authorizing the same to be taken or acquired, and in
such Proclamation the lands intended to be affected
shall be therein described by reference to such map
so to be deposited as aforesaid: And whereas, in
accordance with the provisions of the said in part
recited Act, the Minister for Public Works has
caused a map of all such lands as have been taken-or
purchased for that portion of the line of railway
from Wellington to Masterton, in the Province of
Wellington, which is situated between the eighth
mile peg and the thirteen miles seventy-five chains
peg on the said line of railway, to be prepared as by
the said in part recited Act is required, and the said
map is authenticated by the signature of the Honor-
able Edward Richardson, as such Minister for Public
Works: And whereas the said Minister, on or about
the twelfth day of February past, caused the said
map to be deposited in the office of the Registrar of
Deeds at Wellington aforesaid:

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the powers and authority
vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited Act,
