Validation of baronial presentments.

10. And whereas further measures for the relief of some of such distressed districts became necessary, and the Treasury accordingly authorised the Commissioners of Public Works to advance by way of loan, certain sums to be expended in such works as should be presented by extraordinary presentment sessions of certain baronies, which the Lord Lieutenant announced that he would convene, on the application of the guardians of the poor of unions situate either wholly or in part in those baronies, when such application was supported by the report of the Local Government Board; and for other purposes:
|
|
| |
And whereas, on such applications being made, the Lord Lieutenant directed extraordinary meetings of the baronial presentment sessions to be convened in certain baronies in Ireland, and issued certain instructions to the justices and the associated cess-payers assembled at such presentment sessions as to the works which they might present, and their proceedings in relation thereto, and as to the approval by the Commissioners of Public Works of such presentments, and the terms upon which loans would be made for such works by the Commissioners of Public Works, and as to other matters:
|
|
| |
And whereas extraordinary meetings of the presentment sessions were held in some of such baronies, and the justices and associated cess-payers have made presentments for works in accordance with such instructions, and such presentments have been approved by the Commissioners of Public Works, and loans have been made for such works on the terms contained in such instructions:
|
|
| |
And whereas it is necessary and expedient that all presentments made at any such presentment sessions before or after the passing of this Act which have been or shall be approved by the Commissioners of Public Works, and all loans and advances which have been made or shall be made thereon, and the several proceedings taken or which shall be taken thereunder, should be ratified and confirmed, and that such loans should he repaid as is provided by this Act:
|
|
| |
Therefore all presentments made or to be made at any such extraordinary presentment sessions in accordance with such instructions, and which have been or shall be approved by the Commissioners of Public Works, and all works consequent upon such presentments, and all advances of public money made or to be made, and all things done or to be done in execution of such, presentments, shall be ratified and confirmed as if the same had been presented, made, and done strictly in accordance with the statutes under which such works may be presented for.
