And whereas Crown Grants Numbers 2325 and 2330 issued for Sections 1 and 43, Manaia Block, respectively, describe the north-eastern boundary of the said sections to be the Kuripuni Stream:
And whereas the said Kuripuni Stream intersects the said public road, 50 links wide, and causes some portions of the said road to be included within the boundaries of the said Sections 1 and 43, Manaia Block:
And whereas part of the land included in Crown Grant Number 1622 is also included in Crown Grant Number 2330:
And whereas a portion of the land between the south-western boundary of the said road and the Kuripuni Stream has not been included in any Crown Grant:
And whereas the Kuripuni Stream has been generally accepted as the common boundary of the lands in Crown Grants Numbers 1622, 2330, and 2325:
And whereas by Crown Grant Number 1622 part of the north-western boundary of the land included therein was shown to be a public road, 50 links wide (now part of Chapel Street in the Borough of Masterton):
And whereas by Crown Grant Number 1448 the south-eastern boundary of the land therein is shown as the said public road, 50 links wide (now part of Chapel Street):

And whereas parts of the lands in the various Crown Grants Numbers 1448, 1622, 2325, and 2330 have been brought under the provisions of the Land Transfer Act 1915 or are in process of being brought under the provisions of the said Act by the Land Transfer (Compulsory Registration of Titles) Act 1924:
And whereas difficulties have arisen in issuing titles for the said lands on account of the overlapping of some of the Crown Grants and the inclusion therein of land which is shown as a public road on one Crown Grant:
And whereas it is desired to amend the descriptions of the lands in such Crown Grants in order to remove such overlapping and to dispose of such road:
Be it therefore enacted as follows:
