WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1872," it is, among other things,
enacted that, whenever it shall become necessary that
any land which the Governor or the Minister is, by
or under the Acts therein mentioned, or any Act
authorizing the construction of any railway 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 construc-
tion 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 or permanently used, or which
have been purchased or taken, or are required to
be vested in Her Majesty for the purposes of any
such railway, and shall be authenticated by the sig-
nature 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 land 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 this 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 all such lands as have been taken
or purchased for the branch line of railway from
Rangiora to Oxford, in the Province of Canterbury,
which said branch line is situated between a point in
Rural Section numbered 917, in the Province of
Canterbury, and the north-eastern corner of Rural
Section numbered 4370, in the same Province, to
be prepared as by the said in part recited Act is
required; and the said map is authenticated by the
signature of the Honorable Edward Richardson, as
such Minister for Public Works: And whereas the
said Minister, on or about the first day of March,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, caused
the said map to be deposited in the office of the
Registrar of Deeds at Christchurch, in the Province
of Canterbury aforesaid:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power 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
deposited as aforesaid have been taken or acquired
for the purposes of the said branch line of railway
from Rangiora to Oxford, which said railway is, by
"The Railways 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 Pro-
clamation are described and delineated in the said
map so deposited as aforesaid.

Given under the hand of His Excellency
the Most Honorable George Augustus
Constantine, Marquis of Normanby,
Earl of Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby,
and Baron Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in
the County of York, in the Peerage of
the United Kingdom; and Baron Mul-
grave of New Ross, in the County of
Wexford, in the Peerage of Ireland; a

Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and
