What the reprint includes
Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation
1.Details about the original Act and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.
2.Validation, transitional, savings, or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.
3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the Act being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.
Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)
1.If the reprint includes a section that was inserted, or has been amended, since the Act being reprinted was passed, editorial notes at the foot of the section give some history of how the section came to be as it is. If the section replaced an earlier section, no history of the earlier section is given (the full history of the Act is in the Compilation table).
Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.
2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —
•removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or
•omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).
The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.
Reprint numbering and date
1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the Act has been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the Act was passed. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.
2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the Act is reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

Western Australia
Amendment of Deeds of Grant Act 1884
An Act to simplify the procedure in amending Deeds of Grant which contain an erroneous description of the boundaries of the land contained therein.
Preamble
Whereas the procedure in amending Deeds of Grant which contain an erroneous description of the boundaries of allotments in the towns of the Colony, as provided in the fifth section of the 8th Victoria, No. 9, is cumbrous and inconvenient, and whereas there is no similar provision contained in the Act 4th and 5th Victoria, No. 20 2, relating to the boundaries of country lands or lands not included within the provisions of the first recited Act; And whereas it is desirable that a simple method of procedure should be provided for the amendment of the Deeds of Grant referred to in the said Acts: Be it therefore enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Western Australia and its Dependencies, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows: —
1.Amendment of Deeds of Grant to show adjusted boundaries
In any case in which the true boundaries of any lands or allotments shall have been duly adjusted under the powers of the said recited Acts or of either of them, and the said boundaries so adjusted as aforesaid shall differ from those contained in any grant thereof from the Crown, issued previously to such adjustment, it shall be lawful for an authorised land officer to endorse or cause to be endorsed on the back or other convenient part of the deed or instrument of grant, if it shall be produced to him for that purpose, the true boundaries as so adjusted and which he shall sign, and the said deed so endorsed and signed as aforesaid shall be forthwith given or forwarded by an authorised land officer to the Registrar of Deeds, and the said Registrar shall make and sign a memorandum of such endorsement in the margin or in some other convenient part of the enrolled copy of the said deed, and shall re‑deliver the said deed to the person producing the same as aforesaid.
[Section 1 amended by No. 126 of 1987 s. 29.]
[2.Omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4)(f) and (g).]
3.Amendment of enrolled copies of lost Deeds of Grant
If any such Crown Grant as aforesaid shall have been lost, the grantee, his heir or assignee, or other the owner for the time being of the lands or allotments contained therein, may apply to an authorised land officer to forward to the Registrar of Deeds a certified copy of the entry in the Record Book kept by an authorised land officer of the true boundaries of the said lands or allotments, and an authorised land officer shall, on such application being duly made to him as aforesaid, forward a certified copy of the entry in the said book of the true boundaries of the said lands or allotments, without fee, to the Registrar of Deeds, who shall thereupon make and sign a memorandum of the true boundaries of the said lands or allotments in the margin or in some other convenient part of the enrolled copy of the said deed.
[Section 3 amended by No. 126 of 1987 s. 30.]
In this Act —
“authorised land officer” has the meaning given by the Land Administration Act 1997.
[Section 3A inserted by No. 126 of 1987 s. 31; amended by No. 31 of 1997 s. 141.]
This Act may be cited as the Amendment of Deeds of Grant Act 1884 1.
[Section 4 inserted by No. 81 of 1966 s. 2.]
