Defining the Middle Line of further portion of the
Railway from Wellington to Masterton (Railway
Wharf, Wellington).

(L.S.) HERCULES ROBINSON,
Administrator of the Government.

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
Wellington to a junction with the railway from
Napier to Sentry Hill, at a point near the Manawatu
Gorge, passing through the Hutt, Featherston, and
Masterton 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, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, Administrator of the Government of
the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise
and in pursuance of the powers and autho-
rities 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 the said
railway shall be that defined and set forth in
the Schedule hereto, commencing at a point on
Waterloo Quay between Customhouse Street and
Pipitea Point, and terminating at a point below
high-water mark, in the Wellington Harbour,
all within the Provincial District of Wellington.
The said middle line and the land through which
the same passes are set forth in the map and plan
marked P.W.D. 6907, 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 Wellington, in the Provincial
District of Wellington.
