of a Proclamation under the thirteenth section

portion or portions of a line of railway, the
Governor, on behalf of Her Majesty, may enter
upon, take possession of, use and hold, or cause to be
entered upon, taken possession of, used and held, so
much of the lands defined in such Proclamation as
proposed to be taken as shall be required to be taken,
purchased, or permanently used for the purposes of
such railway, notwithstanding that an agreement
shall not have been come to or an award made for
the purchase or compensation money to be paid in
respect of such lands:

And whereas by the said last-mentioned Act it is
also enacted that in any case in which a road or right
of road has been or hereafter may be reserved in any
Crown grant, and in any case in which, under "The
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:

And whereas by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1873," it was enacted that whenever the
Superintendent of any province, on the recommenda-
tion of the Provincial Council thereof, applies to the
Governor to proclaim any railway not being a railway
which the Governor is authorized to construct, the
Governor may issue such and the like Proclamation
of such railway and relating thereto as he is by the
thirteenth section of "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," authorized to issue in the case of
a railway which the Governor is authorized to con-
struct; and also that upon the publication of any
such Proclamation the provisions and regulations
contained or incorporated in Part VII. of the
said "Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,"
and Parts VI. and VII. of "The Immigration and
Public Works Amendment Act, 1871," and Parts III.,
