It shall be lawful for the Governor to cause grants from the Crown of the several allotments of land described in the Schedule hereto to be issued to the governing body for the time being of the Town of Onehunga, to be held by the said governing body in trust for the purposes set opposite the said several allotments in the said Schedule.

It shall be lawful for the said governing body from time to time to demise all or any of the lands specified in the Schedule hereto, or any part or parts thereof, at such annual rent or rents, and for such term of years, not exceeding twenty-one years, as the said governing body may think fit; and the rents issues and profits arising out of the lands specified in the Schedule hereto as endowments for the benefit of the Town of Onehunga shall form part of the ordinary local revenue of the said town.
But it shall not be lawful for the said governing body to demise or lease or apply to any other purpose than the purpose in each case particularly expressed any of or any part of the lands described in the Schedule as water reserves.
