(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 rail-
way 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 construction 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 pur-
poses of any such railway, and shall be authenticated
by the signature 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 Proclamation in
the New Zealand Gazette, to declare that the lands
set forth in such map, or any of them, 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 ac-
cordance 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 Manawatu to Wanganui, in the Province of
Wellington, which is situated between that part of
the east bank of the Wanganui River which adjoins
the western portion of Rural Section numbered 89
in the Province of Wellington, and a point situated
in Rural Section numbered 248 in the same province,
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 on the nine-
teenth day of October instant of the Honorable
Edward Richardson, as such Minister for Public
Works: And whereas the said Minister, on or about
the twentieth day of the said October instant, 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
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited Act,
do hereby proclaim and declare that the lands set
forth in the said map so deposited as aforesaid have
been taken or acquired for the purposes of the said
portion of the line of railway between the Manawatu
and Wanganui, which said railway is, by "The Rail-
ways Act, 1871," and "The Railways Act, 1872,"
authorized to be constructed and maintained under
the provisions of "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," and the several Acts amending
the same.

And in further pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, I do hereby proclaim and
declare that the lands intended to be affected by this
Proclamation are described and delineated in the said
map so deposited as aforesaid.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Right Honorable Sir James Fergusson,
Baronet, Knight Commander of the Most
Distinguished Order of Saint Michael
and Saint George, a Member of Her
Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Coun-
cil, Governor and Commander-in-Chief
in and over Her Majesty's Colony of
New Zealand and its Dependencies, and
Vice-Admiral of the same; and issued
under the Seal of the said Colony, at
Wellington, this twenty-second day of
October, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.
