authorise and empower the Superintendent to divert or stop up any
public street road highway or thoroughfare in any such Province and
also to exchange the land over which any such public street road
highway or thoroughfare was laid out or passed. And also that it
should be lawful for the Governor in the name and on behalf of Her
Majesty to make and execute Crown Grants of any land which should
be so exchanged:

And whereas by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand
intituled “The Provincial Council Powers Extension Act 1865” it is
enacted that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent and Provincial
Council of any Province and notwithstanding the restriction contained
in the Tenth Sub-Section of the Nineteenth Section of the Constitution
Act to ordain or pass any Law or Ordinance which but for such restriction
might have been ordained or passed by such Superintendent and
Council affecting any part of the Waste Lands of the Crown within the
Province which then was or thereafter should be a public street road
highway or thoroughfare:

And whereas it is for the public benefit that the parcel of land
described in the first column of the Schedule hereto should become a
public highway in lieu of the parcel of land described in the second
column of the said Schedule and that the last mentioned parcel of
land should cease to be a public road and should be granted in exchange
for the first mentioned parcel of land in manner hereinafter mentioned:

Be it therefore enacted by the Superintendent of the said Province
with the advice and consent of the Provincial Council thereof as
follows:

  1. When and so soon as the parcel of land described in the
    first column of the Schedule hereto shall have been transferred to the
    Superintendent and his successors for a public road the same shall be
    and remain for ever a public highway and the public highway passing
    over the parcel of land described in the second column of the said
    Schedule shall be stopped up.

  2. When and so soon as the parcel of land described in the
    first column of the said Schedule has been so transferred as aforesaid the
    parcel of land described in the second column of the said Schedule
    shall be granted in fee to the person transferring the parcel of land
    described in the first column in exchange for the land transferred
    by him.

  3. This Ordinance shall be intituled and may be cited as “The
    Diversion of Roads Special Ordinance No. 8 1875.”
