Glebe at Rhyl.

6. Whereas section forty-five of the Crown Lands Act, 1829, authorised, among other things, the grant of any ground proper for the site of a church or chapel or for the residence of a spiritual person who may serve such church or chapel, or for the site of any parochial or district school, to an amount not exceeding five acres, and such grant was to be made by a warrant in manner provided by the said Act:

And whereas in pursuance of the said section by a warrant dated the twenty-ninth day of December one thousand eight hundred and thirty-six two pieces of land situate in the township of Rhyl in the parish of Rhuddlan in the county of Flint and containing five acres or thereabouts, and delineated on a plan signed by one of the Commissioners of Woods and deposited in the Office of Land Revenues, Records, and Enrolments, and therein coloured the one red and yellow, and the other green, were granted for the purpose of erecting a church or chapel of ease, and a residence for the spiritual person to serve such church, subject to the condition that if the same ceased to be used for the purpose aforesaid the land should revert to the Crown:

And whereas the church was built on the land coloured red in the said plan, and a resi dence for the said spiritual person was erected close by the church but not on the piece of land containing four acres and one rood and coloured green on the said plan, and that land has since been enjoyed by the said spiritual person (now styled the vicar of Rhyl) as glebe, and doubts have arisen whether the land so granted has not under the terms of the said grant reverted to the Crown:

And whereas the vicar of Rhyl has with the consent of the bishop and patron of the benefice agreed with the managers of the Rhyl National School to grant without consideration the portion of the land coloured yellow on the said plan, and doubts have arisen as to the title of the vicar to grant such land:

And whereas it is expedient to remove the doubts aforesaid: Be it therefore enacted as follows:

On and after the passing of this Act the piece of land coloured green on the said plan shall vest in the vicar of Rhyl as part of the glebe belonging to the benefice of such vicar, and shall be subject to the law relating to glebes accordingly.

On and after the passing of this Act the portion of the land coloured yellow on the said plan shall vest in the persons in whom the Rhyl National School is at the passing of this Act vested, subject to the terms of the agrecment made with the vicar of Rhyl, in like manner as if the land had been duly conveyed by the owner thereof in fee simple to those persons, as part of the Rhyl National School in pursuance of the Elementary Education Act, 1870, and the Acts amending or referred to in the same.

And whereas it is expedient to put an end to the management and maintenance of the said roads by such trustees, and to the levying of tolls thereon, and to provide for the management and maintenance of the said roads by the inhabitants of the parishes within which they are respectively situate:

And whereas the said Act authorised certain tonnage rates or dues to be taken in respect of vessels using Her Majesty's quays and wharves at Stone Creek in Sunk Island aforesaid, and it is expedient to provide for their application as part of the general land revenues of the Crown:

Be it therefore enacted as follows:

(1.) On and after the first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, the Sunk Island Roads Act, 1852, shall be repealed, with the exception of sections twelve to fifteen (both included), and of sections eighteen and nineteen, and without prejudice to anything done or suffered under the said Act before that day or to any proceeding or cause of proceeding then pending or existing.

(2.) The trustees for the execution of the said Act shall after payment and satisfaction

of their debts and liabilities, and after payment of compensation to their clerk subject to the provisions of section seven of the Annual Turnpike Acts Continuance Act, 1868, pay any moneys remaining in their hands to the surveyor of highways of the parish of Sunk Island, to be by him applied in and towards the repair and maintenance of those highways.

(3.) On and after the said first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five the several roads or portions of roads described in the Second Schedule to this Act shall become highways repairable by the inhabitants of the several parishes within which they are respectively situate, and shall be managed and maintained accordingly. Provided that each such road or portion shall be a main road within the meaning of the Highways and Locomotives (Amendment) Act, 1878, and one half of the expenses incurred by the highway authority in the maintenance thereof shall, in conformity with and subject to the provisions of the last-mentioned Act, be repaid to the highway authority by the county authority.

(4.) On and after the said first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, all sums received by the Commissioners of Woods in respect of vessels using or remaining at Her Majesty's quays, wharves, landing places, or works at Stone Creek or otherwise under the unrepealed portion of the Sunk Island Roads Act, 1852, shall be from time to time carried to and dealt with as part of the income of the general land revenues of the Crown; but any balance of such sums received before and being on the said first day of October in the hands of the treasurer or collector appointed by the trustees for the

execution of the said Act shall be applied as part of the funds of the said trustees.

An Act for enabling Allowances to be made to the Officers of Poor Law Unions in Ireland, on abolition of Office. (14th August 1885.)

BE it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1. This Act may be cited for all purposes as the Union Officers (Ireland) Act, 1885.

2. (a.) The board of guardians of any union in Ireland may grant to any person retiring or removed from the service of the union by reason of the abolition of his office, to whom a superannuation allowance might be granted under the Act of the session of the twentyeighth and twenty-ninth years of the reign of Her present Majesty, chapter twenty-six, or any Act amending the same, such annual allowance by way of compensation for loss of

office as they might have granted to that person if he were retiring from his office by reason of permanent infirmity of mind or body.

Such allowance shall be granted in the same manner and subject to the same conditions, and shall be payable out of the same funds, as if it were a superannuation allowance granted in accordance with the provisions of the said Acts.

(b.) In the case of the abolition of an office arising from the dissolution or alteration of a union, the board of guardians of the union in which the officer is employed may grant such annual allowance, subject to such conditions as aforesaid, at any meeting held during the month previous to the dissolution or alteration taking effect, provided that not less than six clear days notice of such meeting shall have been given to each member of the board instead of the notice prescribed by the said Acts.

The provisions of section two of the Act of the session of the twelfth and thirteenth years of the reign of Her present Majesty, chapter one hundred and four, shall apply to any allowance granted under this section.

3. In case any person enjoying any superannuation allowance under this Act is appointed to be a union officer in any union, every such allowance shall cease to be paid so long as he continues to hold such appointment, if the annual amount of the profits of the office to which he is appointed are equal to those of the office formerly held by him, and in case they are not equal to those of his former office, then no more of such superannuation allowance shall be paid him than with the salary of

his new appointment shall be equal to that of his former office.

4. Nothing contained in this Act shall lessen or prejudice the right or title, if any, of any officer of a union whose office shall have been abolished or rendered unnecessary by reason of the alteration or dissolution of the union to such retiring annuity or compensation as he would have been entitled to under any prior existing statute if this Act had not been passed.
