An Act in Amendment and Supplement of “The Middle Island Half-Caste Crown Grants Act, 1877.”

Preamble.

WHEREAS the persons enumerated in Schedule A to this Act are entitled to land under “The Middle Island Half-Caste Crown Grants Act, 1877” (herein referred to as “the said Act”), but their names were by accident omitted from the Schedules A and B of the said Act, and it is just that provision should be made for such persons: And whereas land of inferior quality not sufficient for their support was set apart under the said Act for the persons enumerated in Schedule B of this Act, some of whom were named in the aforesaid Schedules, and others were not named therein but are entitled to land under the said Act, and it is equitable that such persons should be compensated by the grant of an enlarged area of land: And whereas certain names appearing in the Schedule B to the said Act have been erroneously stated therein, and it is necessary to rectify such errors:

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 is “The Middle Island Half-caste Grants Act, 1883.”

2 Additional grants of land may be made.

The Governor may, from time to time, as he shall think fit, set apart and grant under the said Act Crown lands within either the Land Districts of Canterbury or Otago to the persons enumerated in Schedule A to this Act in the same manner as if their names had originally appeared in the Schedules A or B to the said Act.

3 Enlarged grants may be made in certain cases.

The Governor also may, under the said Act, notwithstanding anything contained in the third section thereof as to limitation of the area to be granted, from time to time set apart and grant under the said Act, to the persons enumerated in Schedule B to this Act, Crown lands within the land districts aforesaid, not exceeding the area set opposite their respective names in the said Schedule B.

4 Lands set apart to be proclaimed.

The Governor at any time, or from time to time, may make Proclamation of the lands set apart and granted or set apart for the purpose of being granted under the said Act or this Act; and all lands described in any such Proclamation shall from the date thereof respectively be deemed to be permanently reserved for the purposes of this Act and of the said Act.
