Provisions in case of Alteration of local Boundary.
|
79. Where, in exercise of any Powers given by this Act, any Watercourse forming a Boundary Line between Two or more Counties, Baronies, Unions, Parishes, or other Areas defined by Law is straightened, widened, or otherwise altered so as to affect its Character as a Boundary Line, the Drainage Board, under whose Authority such Alteration is made, shall forthwith report the same to the Lord Lieutenant in Council, who, if satisfied that a new Boundary Line may be adopted with Convenience, shall, by Notice to be published in the Dublin Gazette and in such other Manner as he may direct, declare that the Watercourse as altered shall either wholly or partially be substituted for the former Boundary Line, and the Limits of the Areas of which the Watercourse when unaltered was the Boundary shall be deemed to be varied accordingly; but if the Lord Lieutenant in Council is of opinion that a new Boundary cannot wholly or partially be adopted with Convenience, he shall require the Drainage Board under whose Authority the Alteration in the Watercourse was made to set out a Boundary upon the Line of the Watercourse as it existed before its Alteration, or in a new Course in lieu thereof, in such Manner as he may direct and approve; and a Copy of the Dublin Gazette containing the Advertisement in respect of any Alteration of Boundary made in pursuance of this Section shall be admitted as Evidence in all Courts of Justice of the Fact of such Alteration having been made.
