DANIEL POLLEN.

Inspector of Surveys, Auckland, authorized to take
a Road through granted Land.

NORMANBY, Governor.

WHEREAS by section nine of an Act of the General
Assembly intituled "The Crown Grants Act,
1866," it is enacted that whenever roads or rights of
roads have been or hereafter may be reserved in any
Crown grants, but such roads or the particular part
or portions of the land comprised in the grant over
which the road is to be or may be taken have not
been or may not be specifically described in the body
of the grant, and laid down from survey on the plan
in the margin thereof, or indorsed thereon, or attached
thereto, such Crown grants, if otherwise duly and
legally executed, shall be and be taken to have been
as valid and effectual to all intents and purposes as
if the said road or part of the land over which the
right of road was to be taken had been specifically
described and laid down as aforesaid on the said
grant before the execution of the same, any law or
practice to the contrary notwithstanding: And it is
also thereby enacted that all such reservations made
before or after the passing of the said Act shall be
valid and effectual to all intents and purposes: And
whereas by a Crown grant dated the twenty-fifth day
of April, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one,
Ferguson Bowen, the then Governor of New Zealand,
a certain piece of land, being allotment No. 173, in
the Parish of Karamu, in the County of Rutland, in
the Province of Auckland, was granted to Wiremu
Nera te Awaitaia Hakopa te Kotuku, and others,
subject to the right of the Governor at any time
thereafter to take and lay off for public purposes one
or more line or lines of road through the said land:

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of New Zealand,
in exercise and pursuance of all powers and authori-
ties vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited
Act, and of all other powers enabling me in this
behalf, do hereby reserve for Her Majesty, her
heirs and successors, the piece of land described in
the first column of the Schedule hereto, for the pur-
pose of a road, and do hereby authorize and appoint
Theophilus Heale, Esquire, Inspector of Surveys,
Auckland, to take and lay down the same in accordance
with such description.
