Preamble.

WHEREAS certain lands, including the land mentioned in the Schedule hereto, are vested in the Chairman, Councillors, and Inhabitants of the Westland County (hereafter called “the county”) for a road reserve: And whereas Stephen Glossop, of Hokitika, hotelkeeper, has built an accommodation-house on the said land for the benefit of tourists and others: And whereas the said Stephen Glossop has applied to the said county for a lease of the parcel of land on which the said house is built: And whereas the said county is willing to lease the said land to the said Stephen Glossop, but find that they have not the power to do so: And whereas the leasing of the said land will not in any manner interrupt the traffic on the road adjoining the said land: And whereas it is expedient to give the said county power to lease the said land to the said Stephen Glossop:

3 Land to vest when deed executed.

Upon any deed purporting to lease the said land to the said Stephen Glossop, his executors, administrators, and assigns, as aforesaid, being sealed with the corporate seal of the said county, the said parcel of land shall thereupon vest in the said Stephen Glossop for the estate therein mentioned.

4 Rent to form part of county funds.

The rent to be received for the said land shall be and form part of the funds of the said county.
