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 afore-
said 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 speci-
fied 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, appointment or instru-
ment made, right or privilege accrued, work author-
ized, security taken or agreed to be taken, offence
committed, forfeiture, penalty, or liability incurred,
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 provi-
sions 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 for an additional
width of land on that portion of the line of railway
from Wellington to Masterton, in the Provincial
District of Wellington, "between 18 miles 35 chains,
and 18 miles 44 chains," to be prepared as by the
said in part recited Act is required; and the said
map (marked P.W.D. 6367) 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 thirtieth day of
April, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
eight, caused the said map to be deposited in the
office of the Registrar of Deeds at Wellington:
Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
