HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Maori Real Estate Manage-
ment Act, 1867," it is enacted, that if any
title 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 twenty-second day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, the parcel of
land and hereditaments described in the Schedule
hereto became vested in Raika Whakarongotai, Hiria
Rotorua, Hera Tuhirae, and Teretiu Te Kupenga,
of the District of Hauraki, in the Province of Auck-
land, aboriginal natives of New Zealand: And
whereas Teretiu Te Kupenga, one of the persons
named in the said Crown grant, died intestate: And
whereas at a Native Land Court, held at Shortland,
in the Province aforesaid, on the ninth day of
December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
three, Raika Whakarongotai claimed to succeed to
the interest of the said Teretiu Te Kupenga in the
said parcel of land described in the said Schedule:
And whereas the said Teretiu Te Kupenga during
his lifetime made an agreement for the sale of his
interest in part of the said parcel of land, being
allotment two hundred and forty-seven, of block
seven, of the Township of Shortland, to William
Rowe, of Auckland, settler, and received from him
the whole of the purchase money thereof, and Raika
Whakarongotai, a relation of the deceased, was
willing and undertook to complete the conveyance of
the said allotment upon his being appointed to
succeed the said Teretiu Te Kupenga in respect
thereof; and it was ordered by the Court that
Raika Whakarongotai ought to succeed to the said
allotment two hundred and forty-seven, upon trust,
to convey the same without consideration to the said
William Rowe, his heirs and assigns, absolutely; and
that Eruera, Marehoki, and Tamara, infants under

rest of the hereditaments aforesaid: And whereas
it is expedient that Edward Walter Puckey and
Raika Whakarongotai be appointed Trustees under
the said Act, on behalf of the said Eruera, Marehoki,
and Tamara, during their minority:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir James Fer-
gusson, Baronet, the Governor of New Zealand, with
