Correction of errors and omissions in plans, &c.
|
7. If any omission, mis-statement, or wrong description shall have been made of any lands or streams, or of the owners, lessees, or occupiers of any lands or streams, described on the plans or books of reference deposited in compliance with the standing orders of either House of Parliament, or in the schedule to the special Act, the undertakers, after giving ten days notice to the owners, lessees, and occupiers of the lands and streams affected by such proposed correction, may apply in England or Ireland to two justices, and in Scotland to the sheriff, for the correction thereof; and if it appear to such justices or sheriff that such omission, mis-statement, or wrong description arose from mistake, they or he shall certify the same accordingly, and shall in such certificate state the particulars of any such omission, mis-statement, or wrong description; and such certificate, with the other documents to which it relates, shall be deposited in England or Ireland with the clerk of the peace, and in Scotland with the sheriff clerk, of the several counties in which the lands or streams affected thereby are situated, or, where any such lands or streams are situated in a royal burgh in Scotland, with the town clerk of such burgh; and such certificate shall be kept by such clerks of the peace, sheriff clerks, or town clerks respectively with the other documents to which they relate; and thereupon such plan, book of reference, or schedule shall be deemed to be corrected according to such certificate; and the undertakers may make the works in accordance with such certificate, as if such omission, mis-statement, or wrong description had not been made.
