Section 7
In the case of any grant after the passing of the Dean Forest (Mines) Act 1904 (4 Edw. 7. c. clvi) of any gale to which that act applies section 7 of the Dean Forest Act 1861 (which relates to the cesser and refixing of rents and royalties) has effect as though such number of years not exceeding sixty-three as may be specified in the grant were substituted for twenty-one years in that section.[4]
Subsequent developments

Section 26 was amended by paragraph 2 of the schedule to the Dean Forest and New Forest Acts (Amendment) Regulations 1979 (SI 1979/836).[7]
