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 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 liabi-
lity incurred, action prosecution or proceeding com-
menced, under the authority of or against the provi-
sions of any such Act or Ordinance, before the
passing of this Act: And whereas, in accordance
with the provisions 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 railway from the main line (Amberley to
Bluff) through the Waiareka Valley, Provincial District
of Otago, to be prepared as by the said in part recited
Acts is required; and the said map (marked P.W.D.
6369) is authenticated by the signature of the Honor-
able James Macandrew, as the Minister for Public
Works: And whereas the said Minister, on or about
the third day of October, one thousand eight hun-
dred 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 hereinbefore
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 Branch
line of railway from the main line (Amberley to
Bluff) through the Waiareka Valley, which said rail-
way is, by "The Public Works Act, 1876," author-
ized to be constructed and maintained: And in
further pursuance and exercise of the said powers
and authority, I do hereby proclaim and declare that
the lands intended to be affected by this Proclama-
tion are described and delineated in the said map so
deposited as aforesaid.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the
Most Honorable George Augustus Con-
stantine, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of
Mulgrave, Viscount Normanby, and Baron
Mulgrave of Mulgrave, all in the County
of York, in the Peerage of the United
Kingdom; and Baron Mulgrave of New
Ross, in the County of Wexford, in the
Peerage of Ireland; a Member of Her
Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Coun-
cil; Knight Grand Cross of the Most
Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and
Saint George; Governor and Commander-
in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's Colony
of New Zealand and its Dependencies,
and Vice-Admiral of the same ; and issued

of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight.
