G. Atkinson and G. A. Foster; And whereas the said trustees have by petition prayed this Honourable House in the interests of the said congregation and its welfare and to prevent any litigation or trouble which would arise as a result of said invalid sale to grant the necessary legislation to enable said trustees to convey and transfer by good and valid conveyance and transfer the legal title to the said lots in as effectual a manner as if the provisions and requirements of said chapter 42 of The Revised Statutes of Saskatchewan 1909 had been complied with; And whereas it is deemed expedient to grant the prayer of the said petitioners: Therefore his Majesty by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan enacts as follows: 1. The trustees of the congregation of Gardiner Presbyterian Church have power and authority and may for the purpose herein before set forth sell and by good and valid transfer and conveyance transfer and convey the title to said lots 11 and 12 on the north side of Nineteenth street west of Central avenue in the town of Battleford to F. G. Atkinson and G. A. Foster aforesaid for the price and upon fulfilment of the terms and conditions in said recited agreement set forth. 2. The said agreement of sale to said lots is hereby declared to be binding on the parties hereto and of full force and effect and the said transfer and conveyance to be executed as aforesaid shall be absolutely good and valid notwithstanding any and all defects in the sale of said lots and want of conformity to the provisions and requirements of said chapter 42 of The Revised Statutes of Saskatchewan 1909. 3. Notwithstanding this Act or anything done thereunder the trustees of said congregation shall in respect of the lands thereby authorised to be sold be bound to fulfil the directions and duties required of them by section 9 of the said chapter 42 of The Revised Statutes of Saskatchewan 1909, in respect of lands sold under the authority of that Act.
