HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Maori Real Estate Manage-

to or interest in any hereditaments shall accrue to any
Maoris who or any of whom shall be infants, lunatics,
or under legal disability, it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council, if he think fit, to order that
such hereditaments, or any part thereof or interest
therein, as shall to the Governor in Council be shown
to belong to such infant, lunatic, or other person
under legal disability, shall be vested in Trustees, as
the Governor in Council shall think fit: And
whereas by virtue of a Crown grant bearing date
the second day of April, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven, the parcel of land and heredita-
ments described in the Schedule hereto, became
vested in Hemi Tautari, Te Puia Whareoneone,
Tipene Hari, Wiremu Pohi, Epeniha Moriki, and
Rameka Te Hore, of the District of Bay of Islands,
in the Province of Auckland, aboriginal natives of
New Zealand: And whereas, Wiremu Pohi, one of
the persons named in the said Crown grant, died
intestate: And whereas, at a Native Lands Court
held at Te Kawakawa, in the District and Province
aforesaid, on the twentieth day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, Eruera
Pohi, a minor, claimed to succeed to the interest of
the said Wiremu Pohi in the said parcel of land
described in the said Schedule, and it was ordered by
the said Court that the said Eruera Pohi should suc-
ceed to the hereditaments aforesaid: And it is ex-
pedient that Hemi Tautari be appointed a Trustee
under the said Act on behalf of the said Eruera Pohi
during his minority:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fer-
son Bowen, Governor of New Zealand, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
Colony, in exercise and in pursuance of the powers
and authorities vested in him by the said Act, doth
hereby order that the estate or interest of the said
Wiremu Pohi in the said land described in the said
Schedule shall be and remain vested in the said
Hemi Tautari, of the Kawakawa, in the District of
Bay of Islands, Province of Auckland, an aboriginal
native of New Zealand, as Trustee, within the
meaning and for the purposes of the said Act, for
