also enacted that in any case in which a road or right

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 law-
ful, after such road shall have been surveyed, to con-
struct under the said Acts any railway, or any part of
any railway, on the road so surveyed, notwithstanding
that such road may not have been made:
