NOTICE OF INTENTION TO INTRODUCE A
PRIVATE BILL.

A BILL intituled ""The Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland Special Powers Act,"" to enable the Roman
Catholic Bishop of Auckland to deal with certain lands
within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Auckland, now vested
in him.

The Right Reverend GEORGE MICHAEL LENIHAN, Roman
Catholic Bishop of Auckland, hereby gives notice that he
proposes to introduce into the General Assembly at the
forthcoming session a private Bill intituled as above. The
objects sought to be effected by the said Bill are: To enable
the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, in his absolute
discretion, to sell and dispose of the said lands or any of
them, or any part or parts thereof, and to demise and lease
the same for any period not exceeding sixty-six years, and to
raise money by way of mortgage on the security of the said
lands, and to exchange the said lands for other lands within
the said diocese, such other lands when acquired by exchange
to be vested in the said Bishop, subject to the powers now
sought by the said Bill to be given to the said Bishop; the
moneys to arise upon any sale or to be borrowed on the
security of any mortgage, and the rents to be received in
respect of any lease, to be devoted exclusively to the purposes
of the Roman Catholic Church in the said diocese, so that
the benefit may in each case accrue to the parish or district
in which the land sold, mortgaged, exchanged, or leased may
be situate.

Notice is further given that a petition signed by the said
Bishop, together with a copy of the said Bill, will be deposited
in the Examiner's Office, Wellington, not later than
fourteen days after the commencement of the said session.

Dated this 4th day of September, 1909.
