WHEREAS by "The Walsh and others Pension
Act, 1869," it is among other things enacted
that there shall be laid out and set apart for the pur-
poses of the said Act, out of any lands in the Pro-
vinces of Wellington and Taranaki, or either of them,
confiscated or taken under the provisions of "The
New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863," and "The New
Zealand Settlements Amendment and Continuance
Act, 1865," or either of them, a block of 400 acres, and
a grant from the Crown of the said lands shall be
issued in the usual form to the Trustees for the time
being acting in the trusts in the said Acts referred to,
on the execution by them of a deed declaring that the
said land is held by them upon trusts to be in such
deed declared, set out, and defined, and approved by
the Governor, for the benefit of Ellen Anne Hewett,
for her maintenance and the maintenance, education,
and benefit of William Hewett, Ellen Maud Hewett,
Charles Robert Hewett, and George Basil Duff
Hewett (in the said Act respectively mentioned),
during the life of the said Ellen Anne Hewett; and
after the decease of the said Ellen Anne Hewett, for
the benefit of the said William Hewett, Ellen Maud
Hewett, Charles Robert Hewett, and George Basil
Duff Hewett, or such of them as shall then be living,
and the issue, if any, of such of them as may die in
the lifetime of the said Ellen Anne Hewett, in equal
shares, but so that the issue of any one of them who
shall so die in the lifetime of the said Ellen Anne
Hewett shall take the share only to which the parent
of such issue, if living, would have been entitled.
And the trusts to be by such deed declared may, if
the Governor in his discretion shall so think fit, be
trusts for the sale, when expedient, of the said lands,
and application of the proceeds of such sale for the
purposes indicated by the said Act. And by the said
Act it is also enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor to appoint two or more fit and proper
persons to be Trustees for the purposes of the said
Act as therein particularly mentioned: And whereas
out of the lands mentioned in the said Act, and for
the purposes thereof, a block of 400 acres hath been
laid out and set apart at Upper Whenuakura, in the
Province of Taranaki: And whereas it has been
made to appear to me that Edward Lewis, of Wan-
ganui, in the Province of Wellington, merchant, and
William Hogg Watt, of the same place, merchant, are
two fit and proper persons to be Trustees for the
purposes of the said Act, and that they have con-
sented to act as such Trustees under the provisions
thereof:

337

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise
of the authority vested in me by the said Act, and for
the purposes thereof, do hereby appoint the said
Edward Lewis and William Hogg Watt to be
Trustees for the said Ellen Anne Hewett, William
Hewett, Ellen Maud Hewett, Charles Robert Hewett,
and George Basil Duff Hewett, subject to the pro-
visions of the said in part recited Act.
