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

when any railway is to be constructed under the pro-
visions of any special Act the Governor shall issue a
Proclamation 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 Pro-
clamation, alter such line in any manner or to any
extent which may be found necessary for the con-
struction 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

such maps and plans shall be referred to in any such
Proclamation: And whereas the railway from Amber-
ley to Cook Strait is one of the railways specified in

enabling me in that behalf, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the middle line of the said portion of
such 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 set forth in
the map and plan marked P.W.D. 7037, and authen-
