(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 construction
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 in-
tended 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 ap-
pointed 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 delincate 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 Proclamation 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, appoint-
ment or instrument made, right or privilege accrued,
work authorized, security taken or agreed to be taken,
offence committed, forfeiture penalty or liability in-
curred, 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 pro-
visions 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 on the branch line
of railway from Mosgiel to Outram, Provincial Dis-
trict of Otago, to be prepared as by the said in part
recited Acts is required; and the said map (marked
P.W.D. 6331) is authenticated by the signature of
the Honorable James Macandrew, as the Minister
for Public Works: And whereas the said Minister,
on or about the third day of October, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-eight, caused the said map
to be deposited in the office of the Registrar of Deeds
at Dunedin:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authority vested in me by the herein-
before in part recited Acts, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the lands set forth in the said map so
deposited as aforesaid have been taken or acquired
for the purposes of the hereinbefore mentioned rail-
way from Mosgiel to Outram, which said railway is,
by "The Public Works Act, 1876," authorized to be
constructed and maintained: And in further pur-
suance and exercise of the said powers and authority,
I do hereby proclaim and declare that the lands
intended to be affected by this Proclamation are
