Proclaiming Deposit of Memorial Plan of certain
Lands taken for purposes of the Railway from

(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

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 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 signa-
ture 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 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 by
"The Public Works Act, 1876," it is, among other
things, enacted that the several Acts and Ordinances
specified in the First Schedule thereto are thereby
repealed, so far as in such Schedule specified, but
shall notwithstanding remain in full force so far only
as relates to anything done, appointment or instru-
ment made, right or privilege accrued, work author-
ized, security taken or agreed to be taken, offence
committed, forfeiture, penalty, or liability incurred,
action, prosecution, or proceeding commenced, under
the authority of or against the provisions of any
such Act or Ordinance, before the passing of this
Act: And whereas, in accordance with the provi-
sions of the said in part recited Acts, the Minister for
Public Works has caused a map of all such lands as
have been taken or purchased for that portion of the
line of railway from Wellington to Masterton, in the
Provincial District of Wellington, "from Mungaroa to
Featherston," to be prepared as by the said in part
recited Act is required; and the said map (marked
P.W.D. 5604) is authenticated by the signature of
the Honorable John Davies Ormond, as the Minister
for Public Works: And whereas the said Minister,
on or about the thirteenth day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven, caused the said
map to be deposited in the office of the Registrar of
Deeds at Wellington:
