WHEREAS by virtue of an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand, intituled " The
Native Lands Act, 1867," the Governor may at his
discretion refer to the Native Lands Court the claim
of any person to, or any question affecting the title
to or interest of any such person in, land within the
boundaries described in the second Schedule to the
said Act, being the boundaries described in a certain
Deed of Sale to the Crown, bearing date the thirteenth
day of December, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, and expressed to be a conveyance by Natives
entitled to land within the district excepted from the
operation of " The Native Lands Act, 1865," by
section eighty-two thereof: Provided that no claim by,
and no question relating to the title or interest of,
any Native who shall have signed the said Deed of
Sale shall be so referred:

Now therefore I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
the Governor of New Zealand, in exercise of the
powers vested in me in that behalf, do hereby refer
to the Native Lands Court the claims which are
named in the Schedule hereunto attached, being
claims for lands within the boundaries aforesaid of
Natives who have not signed the said Deed of Sale.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
