Council or Road Board in the case of county works
or district works, shall cause a notice to be gazetted,
and to be twice publicly notified, stating the place
where such plans are open for inspection, with a
general description of the works proposed to be
executed and of the land required to be taken, and
in such notice shall call upon all persons affected to
set forth in writing any well-founded objections to
the execution of such works or to the taking of such
lands, and to send such writing within forty days
from the first publication of such notice to the said
Minister, or to the County Council or Road Board,
as the case may be: And it is further enacted that
the Minister for Public Works, the County Council,
or Road Board, as the case may be, shall cause a copy
of such notice and description to be served upon the
said owners and occupiers so far as they can be ascer-
tained; and that the said Minister in the case of
Government works, the Council in the case of county,
and the Board in the case of district works, shall,
upon receiving any objection, appoint a time and
place within the colony within which the objector
may appear before the said Minister, or some person
appointed by him in the case of Government works,
before the Council in the case of county, or before
the Board in the case of district works, and support
the objection by such evidence as the objector thinks
fit; and that if within the said forty days no such
objection is made, or if after due consideration of
such objections the said Minister, or the County
Council, or Road Board, as the case may be, is of
opinion that it is expedient that the proposed works
should be executed, and that no private injury
will be done thereby for which due compensation is
not provided by the Act now in recital, the land
proposed to be taken shall be taken in the following
manner that is to say, the said Minister, or the
County Council, or Road Board, shall lay before the
Governor a memorial containing an accurate descrip-
tion of the land proposed to be taken, together with
a map thereof, signed by the Surveyor-General or
some certificated surveyor as evidence of the accu-
racy thereof; and the Governor in Council may
thereupon, if he think fit, by Proclamation gazetted
and publicly notified, declare that the said lands are
taken for the use of a railway, road, or other public
work, as the case may be; and from and after a date
to be named in the said Proclamation the land therein
specified shall become absolutely vested in fee-simple
in Her Majesty, discharged from all mortgages,
charges, claims, estates, or interests of what kind
soever, for the public use named in the said Pro-
clamation:

And whereas the lands described in the memorial
above written, and shown on the map or plan
attached thereto marked P.W.D. 6242, are required
to be taken under the authority of the said "Public
Works Act, 1876," for a certain public work-to wit,

ngatua District, County of Taieri:

And whereas all the requirements and conditions

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of the power and authority in
