be prepared showing generally the nature of the
works proposed to be executed and the lands required
to be taken for the same, together with the names of
the owners and occupiers of such lands so far as they
can be ascertained, and shall cause a copy of such
plans to be deposited in some place in the road
district in which such lands are: And it is further
enacted that the said Minister 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 lands required to be taken;
and if after due consideration the said Minister 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 shall lay before
the Governor a memorial containing an accurate de-
scription of the lands proposed to be taken, together
with a map thereof, signed by the Surveyor-General
or some certificated surveyor as evidence of the
accuracy 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 lands
therein specified shall become absolutely vested in
fee-simple in Her Majesty, discharged from all mort-
gages, charges, claims, estates, or interests of what
kind soever, for the public use named in the said
Proclamation:

And whereas the Minister for Public Works has
laid before me the above memorial and the map
therein referred to, containing an accurate description
of the lands proposed to be taken under the authority
of the said "Public Works Act, 1876," for a certain
public work-to wit, the construction of a portion of
the railway from Napier to a junction with the rail-
way from New Plymouth to Waitara of Sentry Hill
(Waitotara contract):

And whereas all the requirements and conditions
prescribed by the said Act prior to the taking of such
lands have been duly performed and fulfilled, and all
things have happened and been done to enable this
Proclamation to be issued:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of
the Executive Council of the said colony, in exercise
and pursuance of the power and authority in me
vested by the said Act, and of any other power and
authority enabling me in that behalf, do hereby pro-
claim and declare that the lands described in the
memorial above written, and shown on the plan
thereto attached, are hereby taken for the purposes
of a railway; and that, from and after the day of the
date hereof, the lands described in the Schedule
hereto shall become absolutely vested in fee-simple
in Her Majesty, discharged from all mortgages,
charges, claims, estates, and interests of what kind
soever, for use as as a railway.
