1812: 53 George 3 c.14: An Act to explain so much of Two Acts, for regulating His Majesty’s Household and other Purposes, as relates to the Powers of the Commissioners for the Care and Management of His Majesty’s Real and Personal Estate.

[22d December 1812.]

WHEREAS an Act passed in the Fifty first Year of His present Majesty,

[51 G. 3. c. 1.]

intituled An Act to provide for the Administration of the Royal Authority, and for the Care of His Majesty’s Royal Person during the Continuance of His Majesty’s Illness; and for the Resumption of the Exercise of the Royal Authority by His Majesty: And whereas an Act passed in the Fifty second Year of His present Majesty,

[52 G. 3. c. 8.]

intituled An Act for the Regulation of His Majesty’s Household, and enabling Her Majesty the Queen to meet the increased Expence to which Her Majesty may be exposed during His Majesty’s Indisposition; and for the Care of His Majesty’s Real and Personal Property; and to amend an Act of the last Session of Parliament, to provide for the Administration of the Royal Authority during His Majesty’s Illness: And whereas Commissioners have been appointed under the said last recited Act for the Care and Management of His Majesty’s Real and Personal Estate: And whereas it was not intended by the said last recited Act that His Majesty’s Forests or Parks or any Part thereof which have been used and cultivated as Farms by His Majesty, should be placed under the Care, Controul and Management of the said Commissioners; but Doubts have arisen as to the Powers of the said Commissioners in respect thereof, and it is therefore expedient that such Doubts should be removed; Be it therefore declared and enacted, by the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority the same,

[Lands or Tenements belonging to His Majesty in Right of His Crown not under Commissioners.]

That nothing in the said last recited Act contained, shall be deemed or construed to vest in, or place under the Care and Management or Controul of the Commissioners for the time being, appointed for the Care of His Majesty’s Real and Personal Estate, under the Provisions of the said recited Act, any Royal Palace, Forest or Park, or any Lands or Tenements belonging to His Majesty in Right of the Crown of this Realm, or making Part of any Royal Forest or Park, although the same may have been used and occupied by His Majesty before His Indisposition as Farms for His private Use; any thing in the said recited Acts or either of them to the contrary notwithstanding.

[Act altered, &c.]

II. And be it further enacted, That this Act may be altered, amended or repealed by any Act or Acts to be passed in this Session of Parliament.
