An Act to enable a Provisional Agreement made between Thomas Renwick and the Superintendent of the Province of Marlborough to be carried out.
Preamble.
WHEREAS Thomas Renwick, being possessed in fee of certain lands containing about forty-one acres, situate in the Districts of Omaka and Waihopai, in the Province of Marlborough, has made a provisional agreement with the Superintendent of the Province of Marlborough (hereinafter called “the Superintendent”
) to convey such lands to him in consideration, amongst other things, of the Superintendent agreeing to execute a lease for the term of fourteen years to the said Thomas Renwick of the lands described in the First Schedule hereto; and also in consideration of the Superintendent agreeing to convey to the said Thomas Renwick the lands described in the Second Schedule hereto: And whereas in consequence of the piece of land described in the First Schedule forming part of a public reserve, no lease can be made by the Superintendent for a period exceeding three years: And whereas the lands described in the Second Schedule hereto were, amongst others, declared to be public roads in accordance with the right reserved in the Crown grants of the pieces of land in which such roads are situated, but such lands, though so declared, have never been used or actually laid out as public roads, and no Crown grant thereof has ever been made to the Superintendent: And whereas an Ordinance intituled “The Roads Diversion Act, 1875,”
purports to empower the Superintendent to sell exchange or otherwise dispose of, amongst others, the lands described in the Second Schedule: And whereas by reason of the Superintendent having no Crown grant thereof, doubts have arisen as to whether the Superintendent can convey such lands: And whereas it is expedient that the Superintendent should be empowered to carry out the before-mentioned provisional agreement:
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 Renwick Lease and Conveyance Act, 1876.”
2 Power to Superintendent to grant lease of land in First Schedule for fourteen years.
The Superintendent, upon fulfilment on the part of the said Thomas Renwick of the terms of the hereinbefore-mentioned agreement, may make and execute a lease to the said Thomas Renwick, his heirs executors administrators or assigns, of the piece of land described in the First Schedule hereto, for a term not exceeding fourteen years from the date of the execution thereof.
3 Power to Superintendent to convey land in Second Schedule.
The Superintendent may, on fulfilment of the terms last mentioned, absolutely convey and assure to the said Thomas Renwick, his heirs executors administrators or assigns, the pieces of land described in the Second Schedule hereto, in the same way as he might have done if such lands had been vested in him by a Crown grant.
