highway or thoroughfare.
And whereas it is for the public benefit that the parcels of land
mentioned and described in the Schedule A to this Ordinance and
delineated on the Plans hereto annexed and thereon colored Pink
should become Public Highways in lieu of the parcels of land mentioned and described in the Schedule B to this Ordinance and
delineated on the Plans hereto annexed and thereon coloured Green and
that the said last-mentioned parcels of land should cease to be public
roads.
And whereas the persons respectively entitled thereto have conveyed the parcels of land mentioned in Schedule A to this Ordinance

said conveyances it was agreed that the respective parcels of land
mentioned in the Schedule B to this Ordinance should be given to the
respective persons so conveying in exchange for the parcels of land
conveyed by them respectively as aforesaid.
Be it therefore enacted by the Superintendent of the said Province
with the advice and consent of the Provincial Council thereof as
follows:
- From and after the passing of this Ordinance the parcels of land
so conveyed as aforesaid and more particularly described in the Schedule A hereto and coloured Pink on the plans hereto annexed shall be
