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-third section of the same Act, that the
several railways specified in the Fourth Schedule to
the said Act shall be deemed to have been made, and
in so far as any of them are unfinished may be com-
pleted, under the provisions of the Act now under
recital, and the said Act shall be deemed to be a
special Act authorizing the construction of each of
the said railways; 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 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 Procla-
mation, 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 Minis-
ter 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
Napier to a junction with the railway from New
Plymouth to Waitara at Sentry Hill, passing by Paki-
paki, Waipawa, Waipukurau, Takapau, &c., is one of
the railways specified in the said Fourth Schedule,
and the same is unfinished, and it has been deter-
mined to construct and maintain a further portion of
such railway-namely, from a point situate on the
south-western boundary line of Section No. 349, in
the Town of Napier, to a point on the southern
boundary line of Section No. 319 in the said Town of
Napier, all within the Provincial District of Hawke's
Bay:

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert
Robinson, the Governor of the Colony of New Zea-
land, in exercise and in pursuance of the powers and
authorities conferred on me by "The Public Works
Act, 1876," and in exercise of every other power and
authority enabling me in that behalf, do hereby pro-
claim and declare that the middle line of the said
further portion of the said railway shall be that de-
fined 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

this Proclamation by the signature of the Honorable
