WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1878.

Declaring certain Lands within the Westland Gold
Field to be the Kumara-Kawhaka Water-race.

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

WHEREAS by "The Public Works Act, 1876," it
is enacted that the Governor may, by Procla-
mation publicly notified and gazetted, declare any
land therein specified, being within a proclaimed
gold field, to be a water-race; and may declare any
stream therein specified to be taken for the purpose
of supplying a water-race: And it is also enacted
that the Minister shall cause a map of such water-
race to be deposited in the Warden's Court of the
district in which such land is; and such map shall
be referred to in and shall form part of any such
Proclamation: And it is also enacted that, where
such water-race is proposed to be constructed over
lands not surveyed, it shall be sufficient that such
Proclamation and map describe in general terms, but
as nearly as may be, the course and limits of the
water-race; but where it is proposed that the water-
race shall pass through land held or occupied, or con-
tracted to be held or occupied, under grant, lease, or
license from the Crown, the middle line of such
water-race shall be marked out by pegs driven into
the ground at a distance, wherever the nature of the
ground admits, of not more than one chain from each
other; and the said Proclamation shall describe the
course of such water-race over such lands by reference
to the middle line so marked out: And whereas, for
the purpose of supplying with water the Kumara
Gold Field, being a portion of the proclaimed gold field
known as the Westland Gold Field, it is proposed to
construct within such proclaimed gold field a water-
race, called the "Kumara-Kawhaka Water-race," in
two parts, one part being called the "Kawhaka
Supply-race," and the other the "Kumara Water-
race:" And whereas that portion of the said
water-race distinguished by the name of the Kawhaka
Supply-race is proposed to be constructed over lands
not surveyed:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities vested in me by the hereinbefore
recited Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
lands described in the First and Second Schedules
hereto shall be and the same are hereby declared to
be a water-race for the purposes of the said Act,
and shall be called the Kumara-Kawhaka Water-
race; and I declare that the several streams speci-
fied in the said Schedules are taken for the purpose
of supplying such water-race: And I further pro-
claim and declare that the portion of the said water-
race, known as the Kawhaka Supply-race, is proposed
to be constructed over lands not surveyed, and the
course, limits, and middle line of such portion are
described in general terms, but as nearly as may be
in the First Schedule hereto, and in map marked
P.W.D. 6034, deposited in the Warden's Court at
Kumara; and that the land over which the remain-
ing portion of the said water-race, known as the
Kumara Water-race, is proposed to be constructed,
is accurately specified in the Second Schedule hereto,
and in the map marked P.W.D. 6485, deposited as
aforesaid.
