Entry on lands.

6.—(1) The Board of Works or any company authorised to construct a railway under this Act, with the consent of that Board, may, before the arbitrator has framed his draft award, enter upon any land, which they are by any Order in Council made under this Act authorised to take, without making any deposit in the bank.

(2) Where any such entry is made the Board of Works shall pay to the persons entitled thereto the purchase money or compensation agreed upon or awarded to such persons pursuant to the Lands Clauses Acts in respect of the lands so entered upon, and those Acts as amended by this section shall apply accordingly.

(3) Where any Order in Council under this Act incorporates the Lands Clauses Acts the award of the arbitrator under those Acts shall be final, and the provisions of those Acts with respect to traverses shall not apply.
