from Auckland to Puniu (Ohaupo to Te Awamutu).

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

WHEREAS by the one hundred and twenty-
second section of "The Public Works Act,
1876," it is enacted that every railway shall be made
only under the authority of a special Act, which
shall state as nearly as may be the line of the railway
and the two termini thereof; and by the one hundred
and twenty-third section of the same Act, that the
several railways specified in the Fourth Schedule to
the said Act shall be deemed to have been made, and
in so far as any of them are unfinished may be com-
pleted, under the provisions of the Act now under
recital, and the said Act shall be deemed to be a
special Act authorizing the construction of each of
the said railways; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fourth section of the same Act, that when any
railway is to be constructed under the provisions of
any special Act the Governor shall issue a Proclama-
tion defining the middle line of the railway or any
part thereof, and may from time to time, by a Pro-
clamation revoking or amending such former Pro-
clamation, alter such line in any manner or to any
extent which may be found necessary for the con-
struction of such railway within the provisions of the
said special Act; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fifth section of the same Act, that the
Minister shall cause to be made and deposited in the
office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court such
maps and plans as may be necessary to explain the
said line and the land through which the same passes,
and such maps and plans shall be referred to in any
such Proclamation: And whereas the railway from
Auckland to Puniu is one of the railways specified in
the said Fourth Schedule, and the same is unfinished,
and it has been determined to construct and maintain
a further portion of such railway :

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and in pursuance of the
powers and authorities conferred on me by "The
Public Works Act, 1876," and in exercise of every
other power and authority enabling me in that behalf,
do hereby proclaim and declare that the middle line
of the said further portion of such railway shall be
that defined and set forth in the Schedule hereto, and
that the two termini of the said line shall be a point
on the southern boundary line of Section number three
hundred and ten (310), Parish of Ngaroto, and a point
on the southern boundary line of Section number
two hundred and thirty-eight (238), in the Parish of
Mangapiko, all within the Provincial District of
Auckland, Colony of New Zealand. The said
middle line and the land through which the same
passes are set forth in the map and plan marked
P.W.D. 6499, and authenticated for the purposes of
this Proclamation by the signature of the Honorable
James Macandrew, Minister for Public Works, and
which said map and plan is deposited in the office of
the Registrar of the Supreme Court at Auckland, in
the Provincial District of Auckland.
