Whereas Henry Colin Balneavis late a Captain in Her Majesty’s 58th Regiment of Foot retired from the Army in the year 1855 by the sale of his Commission with the intention of becoming a settler in New Zealand and pursuant to the Royal Regulations of 1847 was entitled as such retiring Officer to a Remission of £300 in the purchase of land And whereas the allotment of land described in the Schedule to this Act was selected by the said Henry Colin Balneavis in part exercise of such Remission but doubts have arisen whether (by reason of alterations in the law for the time being regulating the sale and disposal of Waste Lands of the Crown in the Province of Auckland) a Grant of such allotment can now be legally issued to him

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same as follows:—

I Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act shall be the “Balneavis Remission Act 1861.”

II Grant may be issued to H. C. Balneavis.

It shall be lawful for the Governor to execute a Crown Grant in favour of the said Henry Colin Balneavis for the allotment of land specified in the Schedule to this Act.
