3. Whereas under the Sea Fisheries Act, 1868, and the Acts amending the same, orders can be made for the establishment improvement maintenance and regulation of oyster and mussel fisheries on the sea shore as therein defined, subject to the limitation that a right of several fishery or of regulating a fishery shall not exceed sixty years:
|
|
| |
And whereas it is expedient to extend the power of the Commissioners of Woods under the Crown Lands Act, 1829, and of the Board of Trade, to grant a lease of such portion of the said sea shore as is under their management respectively, so that the lease may be granted for the same term as that specified in the fishery order: Be it therefore enacted as follows:
|
|
| |
Where an order under the Sea Fisheries Act, 1868, and the Acts amending the same, has been made for an oyster and mussel fishery, as defined by that Act on part of the sea shore within the meaning of that Act, and such part of that sea shore or any portion thereof is under the management of the Commissioners of Woods or of the Board of Trade, those Commissioners or the Board of Trade, as the case may be, may grant a lease of so much of the said sea shore as is under their management respectively, for a period not exceeding the duration of the rights conferred by the order, and not exceeding sixty years. Any lease of sea shore which may have been granted for a longer term than thirty-one years by the Board of Trade before the passing of this Act in respect of a fishery comprised in an order made under the Sea Fisheries Act, 1868, and the Acts amending the same, shall be valid as if it had been granted under the powers of this Act.
