Authorizing the taking and laying down of Roads in
Wellington.

A. GORDON, Governor.

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-
tions 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 endorsed 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
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
laying down of such road, to be all the land therein
described 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 specified in the Schedule hereto:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur Hamilton Gordon,
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise
and pursuance of all powers and authorities enabling
me in this behalf, do hereby authorize

JOHN COOM,
Engineer, of Wellington, to take and lay down roads
over the lands specified in the Schedule hereto, and
for that purpose to exercise all such powers as by
the said sections of the said Act may be exercised by
a person legally authorized in that behalf under the
said sections of the said Act.
