A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by the one hundred and twenty-
second section of "The Public Works Act,

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-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 Pro-
clamation defining the middle line of the railway or
any part thereof, and may from time to time, by a
Proclamation revoking or amending such former
Proclamation, alter such line in any manner or to
any extent which may be found necessary for the
construction 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
Amberley to Cook Strait is specified in "The Immi-
gration and Public Works Appropriation Act, 1878,"
and which Act is therein declared to be a special Act
for the said railway within the meaning of "The Public
Works Act, 1876:" And whereas it has been deter-
