plans, pursuant to section one hundred and twenty-
five of "The Public Works Act, 1876," the Governor
may, by Proclamation, take any land required for the

shall be conclusive evidence that the land therein
referred to is vested in Her Majesty in fee-simple,
freed and discharged from all mortgages, charges,
claims, estates, and interests of what kind soever, for
the use of the railway: And whereas by a Proclama-
tion issued under the authority of sections one
hundred and twenty-two, one hundred and twenty-
three, and one hundred and twenty-four of "The
Public Works Act, 1876," the middle line of portion
of the railway from Kaipara through Riverhead to

suant to the one hundred and twenty-fifth section

Public Works has caused to be made, and, on the
twenty-third day of April, one thousand eight hun-
dred and seventy-seven, to be deposited in the office
of the Registrar of the Supreme Court at Auckland,
such maps and plans as were necessary to explain the
said portion of the said line of railway and the land
through which the same passes, and such maps and
plans were referred to in such Proclamation as afore-
said: And whereas by a Proclamation dated the
eighteenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight, and published in the New Zealand
Gazette No. 37, of 29th April, 1878, the lands de-
scribed in a memorial therein referred to were taken
for the purposes of a railway: And whereas doubts
have arisen as to the completeness of the description
in the said memorial published in the said New Zealand
Gazette No. 37, of 29th April, 1878: And whereas
the land described in the Schedule hereto is required
to be taken for the said portion of the said line of
railway:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred by the sixth section of
"The Public Works Act 1876 Amendment Act,
