Acts conferred upon him for the construction of any
such railway, and may enter upon, and cause to be

and maintained, the several lines of railway specified
therein: And it is also thereby enacted that the
line of the railways thereby authorized to be con-
structed shall be fixed by the Governor, and shall
commence and terminate at points to be fixed by the
Governor: And whereas by "The Immigration and
Public Works Act, 1872," it is enacted that as to
any railway which the Governor has been authorized
to construct, and to fix the commencing and termina-
tion points and line thereof, it shall be competent for
him, if he thinks fit, instead of fixing and proclaiming
such points and the whole line at one time, to fix and
proclaim portions of such line from time to time, and
the commencing and termination points of any such
portion or portions, and the limits and description of
any such portion or portions, and the lands proposed
to be taken for the purpose of any such portion or
portions, and to construct any portion or portions so
fixed, and to take the lands for the same; and any
such portion so proclaimed shall be deemed to be a

said amending Act and this Act :

And whereas by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1872," it is enacted that, at any time
after the expiration of twenty-one days from the
publication in the New Zealand Gazette, and in a
newspaper ordinarily circulating in the district, of a
Proclamation under the thirteenth section of the said
Act, whether of the whole or a 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, notwithstand-
ing 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 the Governor has determined to
construct and maintain a further portion of the
railway from Mount Rochfort to Westport, author-
ized to be constructed by "The Railways Act, 1871,"
"The Railways Act, 1872," "The Railways Act,
1873," and "The Railways Act, 1874," which said
