enacted that the Governor, from time to time, by
Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazette,
may, as to parts within the North Island of New
Zealand, define the roads and the boundaries thereof,
and the bridges and ferries which shall be and be
deemed to be roads, bridges, or ferries, as the case
may be, under the provisions of the said Act, and
any such Proclamation may include existing roads,
but no such roads or parts of roads shall be included
if they are, in the opinion of the Governor in Council,
roads which should be constructed by the Superin-
tendent and the Provincial Council of the Province
wherein such roads are situated, as well as new road
lines; and the Governor from time to time may
revoke or alter any such Proclamation : And
