Preamble.
WHEREAS on or about the seventeenth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, the said Anne Hood (then Anne Murch, widow) was, by William Halse, Esquire, a Commissioner appointed and acting under the New Zealand Company’s Land Claimants Ordinance, 1851, declared entitled to a grant of the land described in the Schedule hereto, being part of Town Allotment No. 649, New Plymouth, the legal estate in the said grant to vest in the said Anne Murch as from the eleventh day of April, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six: Andwhereas the report of the said Commissioner was not published in the Gazette as required by law, and on or about the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, Henry Robert Richmond, Esquire, then being a Commissioner under the said Ordinance, reported as follows:—“The claimant, Anne Murch, having “married again before the thirty-first day of December, 1861, and “the report in her favour not having been hitherto published, it “will now be made in the joint names of herself and her present “husband, George Hood”
: And whereas the last-mentioned report was made and published as required by the Ordinance, and on the tenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, a Crown grant was made and executed to the said George Hood and Anne Hood his wife: And whereas, prior to the investigation of the claim of the said Anne Hood (then Anne Murch) by the said. William Halse the said Anne Hood (then Anne Murch) had charged or otherwise conveyed the said land by way of mortgage, and the said report of the said Henry Robert Richmond being made in error the said grant ought not to have been directed to be issued as hereinbefore mentioned in the said last-mentioned report: And whereas the said mortgage is still subsisting, and no other charges or interests have been created in the said land by the said George Hood or Anne Hood or either of them, and it is just that authority should be given to repeal the said grant of the tenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and to issue another grant as hereinafter provided:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
