of any special Act the Governor shall issue a Procla-
mation defining the middle line of the railway or any
part thereof, and may from time to time, by a Pro-
clamation 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
