A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section twenty-one of "The
Public Works Act, 1876" (herein referred to
as "the said Act"), it is enacted that whenever
lands are required to be taken for public works the
Road Board, in the case of district works, shall cause
a survey to be made and plans to be prepared show-
ing 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 ascer-
tained, and shall cause a copy of such plans to be
deposited in some place in the road district in which
such lands are: And by section twenty-two of the
said Act it is further enacted that the said Road
Board 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 de-
scription of the works proposed to be executed and
of the land required to be taken, and in such notice
shall call upon all persons affected to set forth in
writing any well-founded objections to the execution
of such works or to the taking of such lands, and to
send such writing within forty days from the first
publication of such notice to the said Road Board:
And by sections twenty-three and twenty-four of the
said Act it is further enacted that the said Road
Board shall cause a copy of such notice and descrip-
tion to be served upon the said owners and occupiers
so far as they can be ascertained; and that the said
Road Board shall, upon receiving any objection, ap-
point a time and place within the colony within
which the objector may appear before the said Road
Board and support the objection by such evidence as
the objector thinks fit; and by section twenty-five of
the said Act it is enacted that, if within the said
forty days no such objection is made, or if after due
consideration of such objections the said Road Board
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 said Act, the land proposed to
be taken shall be taken in the following manner, that
is to say: The said Road Board shall lay before the
Governor a memorial containing an accurate descrip-
tion of the land 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 land therein specified
shall become absolutely vested in fee-simple in Her
Majesty, discharged from all mortgages, charges,
claims, estates, or interests of what kind soever, for
the public use named in the said Proclamation :

And whereas the lands described in the Schedule
hereto are required to be taken under the said Act
for a certain work, to wit, the construction of a road
leading from Gebbies Bay to Governor's Bay, and
portion of a road leading from Governor's Bay to
Christchurch, in the Port Victoria Road District,
County of Akaroa:

And whereas the Port Victoria Road Board has
laid before the Governor the memorial and map men-
tioned in and signed and certified as required by the
twenty-fifth, section of the said Act:

And whereas all the requirements and conditions
prescribed by the said Act have been duly performed
and fulfilled, and all things have happened and all
times elapsed to lawfully authorize this Proclamation
to be issued:

Now, therefore, I, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, in exercise and pursuance
of the powers and authorities in me vested by the
hereinbefore in part recited Act, and of any other
power and authority enabling me in that behalf, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the lands described
in the Schedule hereto are hereby taken for the pur-
poses of a road; and that, from and after the tenth
day of May, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-nine, the lands so described shall become
