An Act to amend “The Public Reserves Vesting and Sale Act, 1892.”

Preamble.

WHEREAS, by “The Public Reserves Vesting and Sale Act, 1892” (hereinafter called “the principal Act”), certain lands, whereof the parcel of land described in the Schedule hereto forms part, were vested in and transferred to the Corporation of the City of Dunedin as an endowment for that city: And whereas one John Colvin, of Dunedin, has since petitioned Parliament for relief on the ground that the said parcel of land belonged to him, and should not have been so vested and transferred as aforesaid: And whereas the Committee to whom such petition was referred have recommended that an Act should be passed to enable him to assert his title to the said parcel of land:

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 Public Reserves Vesting and Sale Amendment Act, 1895,” and it shall be read with the principal Act.

2 Power to John Colvin to assert by suit his title to land in Schedule.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the principal Act, it is hereby declared that the parcel of land described in the Schedule hereto, which by that Act was vested in and transferred to the Corporation of the City of Dunedin, shall be held by that Corporation subject to the conditions following, that is to say:—

(1.)

That the above-named John Colvin may, at any time within twelve months after the passing of this Act, but not later, assert by suit his title to the said parcel of land, in like manner in all respects as if the principal Act had not been passed; and also

(2.)

That if the said John Colvin succeeds in establishing by judgment of the Supreme Court his title to the said parcel of land, the said Corporation will execute in his favour a memorandum of transfer thereof discharged from the trusts created by the principal Act.

3 Transfer to be exempt from fees.

Such transfer, if executed pursuant to such judgment, shall be exempt from stamp or registration fees; and the District Land Registrar shall register the same accordingly.

4 Provision if suit not commenced.

If the said John Colvin fails to commence such suit within the time limited in that behalf by this Act, the conditions prescribed by section two hereof shall be deemed to have lapsed.

5 No suit after twelve months.

No such suit shall be commenced after the expiration of twelve months from the passing of this Act.
