(L.S.) HERCULES ROBINSON, Governor.

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-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
Otautau to Night Caps is one of the railways
specified in "The Immigration 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 determined to
construct and maintain a portion of such railway,
namely, from a point in Section number fourteen,
Block seven, Township of Otautau, to a point in
Section number eleven, Aparima Hundred, all within
the County of Wallace, Provincial District of Otago:

authority enabling me in that behalf, do hereby pro-
claim and declare that the middle line of the said
portion of the said railway shall be that defined and
set forth in the Schedule hereto. The said middle
line and the land through which the same passes are
