Now, therefore, we, the New Zealand Railway Commissioners, in exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on us by “The Government Railways Act, 1887,” and of every other power and authority in anywise enabling us in that behalf, do hereby notify and declare that the land mentioned in the Schedule hereto is taken for the purposes above mentioned.

Cancelling Notification taking Land at Waitaki Bridge Township for Purposes of the Waitaki—Bluff Railway.

A NOTIFICATION.

WHEREAS a notification dated the twelfth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, taking certain lands at Waitaki Bridge Township for purposes of the Waitaki—Bluff Railway under the powers and authorities conferred by “The Government Railways Act, 1887,” was published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 12, of the thirteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, and it is found that such notification incorrectly describes the land purporting to be taken :

And whereas such Proclamation has not been registered by the District Land Registrar, and it appears expedient to cancel the same :

Now, therefore, we, the New Zealand Railway Commissioners, in exercise of the powers and authorities contained in the above-mentioned Act and “The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1889,” and of every other power and authority in any wise enabling us in that behalf, do hereby cancel and annul the said recited notification dated the twelfth day of March aforesaid, as from the date of the publication hereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

Given under the common seal of the New Zealand Railway Commissioners, at Wellington, this second day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one.
