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. These provisions were not, however, re-enacted in the Act of 1870, which as the Government is advised, contemplates the acquisition of the underlying minerals as well as the surface of the land. Hitherto this state of the law has caused no inconvenience.

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.....
