So much of recited Act as prohibits building on the Ground Southward of the Premises vested in His Majesty repealed.

WHEREAS by an Act Passed in the Fifty-fourth Year of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third, intituled An Act to vest in His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, for ever, Part of the Ground and Buildings now belonging to the Society of King’s Inns, Dublin, for the erecting thereon a Repository for Public Records in Ireland, it is amongst other Things enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act it shall not be lawful for the said Society of King’s Inns, or for any other Person whatsoever, to build upon any Part of the said Ground to the South of said Premises hereby vested in His Majesty, but that the same shall be, remain, and continue unbuilt upon: And whereas it is Unnecessary and useless for any Purpose of Security in relation to the Depositories for Public Records, or any Offices connected therewith, mentioned in the said Act, that the Restriction in the said recited Clause should be continued, inasmuch as the Parcels of Ground vested in His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, under the said recited Act, are fully sufficient and adequate to insulate or secure the said Depositories and Offices in such Manner as may be deemed fit, without requiring the Agreement and Consent in relation to not building, mentioned in the said Act, to be enforced against the said Society of King’s Inns, the Dean and Chapter, Prebendaries, Choral Vicars, and other Persons therein mentioned: And whereas it is therefore just and expedient to enable the said Society of King’s Inns to build on their own Ground in their own Possession, and not vested in His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, under the said Act, and will greatly tend to the Improvement of that Part of the County of the City of Dublin: be it therefore 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Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That the said recited Part of the said recited Act is hereby repealed; and that it shall and may be lawful for the said Society of King’s Inns, or any Person deriving by, from, or under them, to build upon any Part of Ground of the Society of King’s Inns to the South of the said Premises by the said recited Act vested in His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, notwithstanding the said Agreement as Consent mentioned in the said Act, or any other Matter therein contained.
