II 
And whereas by the first-recited Act it was enacted, for the quieting of Titles, that no confirmed Agreement, Award, or Apportionment shall be impeached after the Confirmation thereof by reason of any Mistake or Informality therein, or in any Proceeding relating thereunto, and Doubts have been entertained as to the full Meaning and Extent of such Enactment ; be it declared and enacted, That, notwithstanding any Exception in the said Act contained, every Instrument purporting to be an Instrument of Apportionment, confirmed under the Hands and Seal of the said Tithe Commissioners, shall be hereby absolutely confirmed and made valid, both at Law and in Equity, in all respects, subject nevertheless to the Powers given to the Tithe Commissioners in the first-recited Act, or in any Act passed for the Amendment thereof, for Alteration of any Instrument of Apportionment.
III 
Provided always, and be it enacted, That if it shall be shown to the Satisfaction of the said Tithe Commissioners that any Lands have been improperly included or improperly charged with Rent-charge in any confirmed Instrument of Apportionment, it shall be lawful for the said Tithe Commissioners to correct such Apportionment, and the deposited Copies thereof, either by excluding such Lands so improperly charged from the Apportionment, and re-distributing any Rent-charge imposed upon such Lands on Lands legally liable to the Payment thereof, or by sanctioning the Redemption of the Rent-charge so improperly charged by the Persons capable of redeeming the same under the Provisions of an Act of the last Session of Parliament, intituled An Act further to amend the Acts for the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales; and all Costs and Expences attendant upon the Correction of any confirmed Instrument of Apportionment shall be borne and paid by such Persons and in such Proportions as the said Tithe Commissioners shall direct, and shall be recoverable from the Person or Persons declared liable by the said Tithe Commissioners to the Payment of the same in such Manner as Expences attendant upon original Instruments of Apportionment are recoverable.
