any Act to be passed in pursuance thereof, has been

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 construc-

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 Pro-
clamation in the New Zealand Gazette, to declare
that the lands set forth in such map, or any of them,
have been taken or acquired for the purposes of the
railway in respect of which the same shall 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
accordance with the provisions of the said in part
recited Act, the Minister for Public Works has
caused a map of such lands as have been taken or
purchased for the line of railway from Dunedin to
Moeraki, in the Province of Otago, to be pre-
pared as by the said in part recited Act is re-
quired, and the said map marked O. 564 is authen-
ticated by the signature of the Honorable Edward
Richardson, as such Minister for Public Works:
And whereas the said Minister, on or about the
twenty-seventh day of March instant, caused the
said map to be deposited in the office of the Registrar
of Deeds at Dunedin aforesaid:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authority vested in me by the herein-
before in part recited Act, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the lands set forth in the said map so

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.
