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

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, whenever such road or roads shall have
been taken and laid down in manner aforesaid on the
land comprised 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 lay-
ing 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:
