WELLINGTON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1867.

G. GREY, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Native Lands Act, 1867,"
it is among other things provided that in any
case where under the said Act ("Native Lands Act,
1867,") the Court would not have had jurisdiction,
it shall be competent to the said Court to inquire
into and determine any question affecting the sub-
division of or any title to or interest in any Native
Reserve which may be referred to it by the
Governor. And whereas it is expedient that it
should be ascertained who are the Natives interested
in the Native Reserves mentioned in the Schedules
hereunto attached, and that the said Reserves should
be subdivided accordingly, being Reserves in respect
of which the assent of the aboriginal inhabitants to
the bringing of the said Reserves under the operation
of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," has been
obtained:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Grey, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the
powers vested in me in that behalf, do hereby refer
to the Native Lands Court to determine who are the
Natives interested in each of the Reserves hereunder
described, and to order the subdivision of the same
among those Natives who may be so interested in
such manner as to the said Court shall seem fit, and
to order certificates to be issued according to the
plan of such subdivision in such or like manner as is
provided in the seventeenth section of "The Native
Lands Act, 1867."

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Grey, Knight Commander of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, at the
Government House, at Wellington, this
second day of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven.
