WHEREAS by the one hundred and twenty-

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 Proclama-
tion 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
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 Otago Central

other power and authority enabling me in that be-
half, do hereby proclaim and declare that the middle
line of the said portion of railway shall be that defined
and set forth in the Schedule hereto, and that the two
termini of the said line shall be a point in Irregular
Block, Section number thirty (30), Taieri District,
and a point on the Taieri River, Silverpeak District.

same passes are set forth in the map and plan marked
