Preamble

WHEREAS it is enacted by the General Post Office (Approaches Improvement) Act of 1889 [hereinafter termed the “Principal Act”] that the Governor with the advice of the Executive Council may form and dedicate to the public in such manner as he may think fit, from the lands in the said Act referred to, a lane connecting Chisholm-lane and Angel-place (formerly called Terry-place) of not less than the lawful width, for the purpose of giving access to the buildings to be erected on the lands sold or leased under the authority of the said Act, reserving for future disposal two feet in width of the resumed land in front of the adjoining land on the north: And whereas it is believed that the convenience of the public and of the purchasers or lessees of the lands resumed by the said Act would be furthered by extending the lane connecting Chisholm-lane and Angel-place so that a public thoroughfare between Pitt and George Streets should be dedicated and made available for public use [such thoroughfare to be designated “Martin-lane”], and that compensation should be provided, as hereinafter described, in respect of the resumption of a certain strip of land not included in the Schedule to the Principal Act, as well as in respect of any damage or injury that may be sustained by the owners of land having frontage to Angel-place in consequence of the formation of such lane: And whereas it is expedient in order to carry out the aforesaid purposes to amend, in certain respects, the Principal Act:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of New South Wales in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
