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 Auck-
land to Puniu, Onehunga branch (portion of), is one
of the railways specified in the said Fourth Schedule,
and the same is unfinished, and it has been deter-
mined to construct and maintain a further portion of
such railway:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and in pursuance of the
powers and authorities conferred on me by "The
Public Works Act, 1876," and in exercise of every
other power and authority enabling me in that behalf,
do hereby proclaim and declare that the middle line
of the said further portion of railway shall be that
defined and set forth in the Schedule hereto, and that
the two termini of the said line shall be a point
situate at the intersection of the railway line with
the southern boundary of the Great South Road, said
point being distant about three miles fifty chains
from Newmarket Station, and a point in a southerly
direction on a radius of thirteen chains, and a dis-
tance of eight hundred and twenty links, or there-
abouts, on said line of railway, said points being
within the One Tree Hill Highway District, in the
County of Eden and Provincial District of Auckland.
The said middle line and the land through which the
same passes are set forth in the map and plan marked

this Proclamation by the signature of the Honorable
William James Mudie Larnach, Minister for Public
