Rehearing of Claim under "The Harata Patene Claim

JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this
second day of March, 1874.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS at a sitting of the Native Land Court
held at Kapanga, in the Province of Auck-
land, on or about the twenty-first day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy, a claim to
a piece of land called Motutere, situate at Coromandel
in the said Province, was heard and determined, and
a certificate was by the said Court ordered to issue
to an aboriginal native named Harata Patene and
other persons, as in the said order mentioned: And
whereas an aboriginal native named Te Taniwha
Kitahi applied to the Governor in Council, under the
provisions of "The Native Lands Act, 1865," and
the several Acts amending the same, (hereinafter
called "the said Acts,") for an order directing a
rehearing of the said claim, and such rehearing was
ordered, and such rehearing was ordered to take place
before one Judge of the said Court and two Assessors
thereof, as in the said order is set forth: And
whereas, in drawing up the said Order in Council,
the name of Wiremu Keepa Hoete was erroneously
inserted therein instead of the name of Harata
Patene, and the said claim to the said piece of land
could not by reason of such error be entertained by
the Native Land Court, and such claim has not
been reheard: And whereas it is enacted by "The
Harata Patene Claim Rehearing Act, 1873," that it
shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, within
six months after the passing of the said Act, to order
that there shall be a rehearing of the claim of the
said Harata Patene before the Native Land Court, in
the manner provided by "The Native Land Act,
1873."
Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
the Colony, in pursuance and exercise of the above-
recited power and authority, doth hereby order that
the aforesaid claim of Harata Patene and others to
the aforesaid piece of land shall be reheard before
one Judge of the said Court and two Assessors
thereof, and doth order that such rehearing shall
take place before the second day of April next.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
