An Act to authorise the Issue of Titles to certain Reserves in Westland to the Religious, Charitable, or Educational Bodies respectively occupying the same.
Preamble.
WHEREAS in that portion of the Town of Kumara which lies within the limits of an education reserve now vested in the School Commissioners for Westland, there were originally set apart reserves for various religious, charitable, and educational purposes, upon which reserves, or other lands exchanged for the said reserves, as the same are defined in the First and Second Schedules hereto, churches, schools, and a hospital have been built:
And whereas by “The Kumara Education Reserve Act, 1879,”
the aforesaid education reserve was brought subject to the mining law for the time being in force, and the aforesaid Commissioners were authorised to sell to the lessees of any sections in the said Town of Kumara the sections leased by them, but such power of sale was deemed not to extend to the lands set apart as aforesaid for the purposes hereinbefore mentioned, and it is expedient to permit the governing bodies of the several religious, charitable, and educational bodies at present holding the reserves in their respective occupation under residence-site licenses, issued under the aforesaid mining law, to acquire the fee-simple of the said reserves:
And whereas the lands described in the Third and Fourth Schedules hereto are vested in Her Majesty as a reserve for a Roman Catholic church, and as a reserve for a Wesleyan church respectively, and it is expedient to transfer and vest the same in manner hereinafter mentioned:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
