Act XXII of 1863, which was replaced by the Land Acquisition Act, 1870, contained specific provisions (Ss. 51and52) for cases in which mines and minerals lay under land taken up under that Act.

Under these circumstances the present Bill has been prepared. It does not however simply re-enact the provisions which Act XXII of 1863 formerly contained, inasmuch as they do not appear to be adopted to.....
