WHEREAS by 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 por-
tion 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; pro-
vided always that the right of taking a road through
any section shall only be exercised within five years
after the issue of the grant, and, with regard to
grants issued before the passing of the said Act,
within three years from the coming into operation of
the said Act; and it is also thereby enacted that, in
any case where allowances have been or shall be
made in land or remission of purchase-money in
respect of such reservation of road, the road to be
taken shall in no case exceed the amount of land
allowed or the amount of the purchase-money
whereof shall have been or shall be remitted as
aforesaid; and it is also thereby enacted that, when-
ever such road or roads shall have been taken and
laid down in manner aforesaid on the land com-
prised in any such grant by any person legally
authorized in that behalf, the land conveyed by the
grant shall be deemed, from the date of the laying
down of such road, to be all the land therein de-
scribed to be granted, with the exception of the part
thereof taken for such road, which part shall be
deemed to be vested in Her Majesty, her heirs and
successors:

And whereas it is expedient that a fit and proper
person should be authorized to take and lay down
roads over the lands in the Awhea Block, East Coast
District:

Now, therefore, I, Hercules George Robert Robin-
son, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of all powers and author-
ities enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorize

LLWELLYN SMITH, Esquire,

District Surveyor, of Wellington, to take and lay
down roads over the lands in the Awhea Block, East
Coast District, in the Survey Districts of Waipawa,
Kaiwaka, and Opuawe, and for that purpose to
exercise all such powers as by the said Act may be
exercised by a person legally authorized in that
behalf under the said Act.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the
Governor, this fourteenth day of Octo-
ber, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
nine.
