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 and 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 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 aforesaid, 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 rail-
way 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 line of railway from Auckland to
Mercer, in the Province of Auckland, to be pre-
pared 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 tenth day of August, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-six, caused the said map
to be deposited in the office of the Registrar of
Deeds at Auckland:
