Preamble.

WHEREAS by the fifth section of “The Walsh and Others Pension Act, 1869,” (hereinafter called “the said Act,”) it is provided that it shall be lawful for the person or persons appointed as in the said Act mentioned to select within six months from the passing of the said Act, free of cost, in one allotment or in any number of contiguous allotments, one hundred acres from any lands within the Province of Hawke’s Bay taken under “The New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863,” and not then sold or agreed to be sold, and not then reserved from sale; and upon any such selection being made, it shall be lawful for the Governor to execute a Crown grant thereof, without payment of any purchase money, to such persons as the Governor shall think fit, in trust for one James Wilson in the said Act mentioned:

And whereas by “The Walsh and Others Pension Act Amendment Act, 1870,” (hereinafter called “the said Amendment Act,”) after reciting the said fifth section of the said Act, and that no such selection as in the said section of the said Act mentioned had at that time been made, and that it is expedient to extend the time for making such selection, and also to authorize such selection to be made from any such lands in Poverty Bay as are therein mentioned, instead of from the lands mentioned in the said section of the said Act, it is enacted that the said fifth section of the said Act is thereby repealed, and in lieu thereof it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the said person or persons appointed as in the third section of the said Act is provided, to select within six months from the passing of the said Amendment Act, free of cost, in one allotment or in any number of contiguous allotments, one hundred acres of land from any lands within the boundaries mentioned in the Schedule thereto, and not for the time being granted or sold or agreed to be granted or sold, or reserved for public purposes or from sale; and upon any such selection being made, the Governor may execute a Crown grant thereof, without payment of any purchase money, to such person as the Governor shall think fit, in trust for the said James Wilson, under the said Act:

And whereas no such selection as in the said Amendment Act mentioned has yet been made, and it is expedient to extend the time for making such selection:

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

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Walsh and Others Pension Acts Amendment Act, 1874;” and it shall be construed and read as incorporated with and as part of the said Act and the said Amendment Act.

2 Time for making selection under the said Acts extended.

So much of the second section of the said Amendment Act as provides that the selection thereby authorized to be made shall be made within six months from the passing thereof is hereby repealed, and in lieu thereof it is enacted as follows:—It shall be lawful for the said person or persons appointed as in the third section of the said Act is provided to make the selection by the said Act and the said Amendment Act authorized within six months from the passing of this Act, but subject to the provisions of the said Act and the said Amendment Act: Provided that the selection authorized by this Act and the said Amendment Act shall not be made in any town or township that now is or hereafter may be laid out within the boundaries of the land described in the Schedule to the said Amendment Act.
