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
