A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the one hundred and twenty-
second section of "The Public Works Act,
1876," it is enacted that every railway shall be made
only under the authority of a special Act, which
shall state as nearly as may be the line of the railway
and the two termini thereof; and by the one hundred
and twenty-third section of the same Act, that the
several railways specified in the fourth schedule to
the said Act shall be deemed to have been made, and
in so far as any of them are unfinished may be com-
pleted, under the provisions of the Act now under
recital, and the said Act shall be deemed to be a
special Act authorizing the construction of each of
the said railways; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fourth section of the same Act, that when any
railway is to be constructed under the provisions of
any special Act the Governor shall issue a proclama-
tion defining the middle line of the railway or any
part thereof, and may from time to time, by a pro-
clamation revoking or amending such former pro-
clamation, alter such line in any manner or to any
extent which may be found necessary for the con-
struction of such railway within the provisions of the
said special Act; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fifth section of the same Act, that the Minis-
ter shall cause to be made and deposited in the office
of the Registrar of the Supreme Court such maps
and plans as may be necessary to explain the said
line and the land through which the same passes, and
such maps and plans shall be referred to in any such
proclamation; and whereas the railway from Kaipara
through Riverhead to Auckland is one of the rail-
ways specified in the said fourth schedule, and the
same is unfinished, and it has been determined to
construct and maintain a further portion of such
railway:
