  And whereas, under the provisions of The Patea Harbour Act 1878, the aforesaid Board was authorized to borrow money upon the security of all lands vested in them or set aside as endowments; and by virtue of such authority money has been borrowed by the said Board upon the security of the lands described in the Schedule hereto, and some leases have been made of the said lands by the Board, and it is expedient that the legal estate in the said lands should be vested in the aforesaid Board:
