twentieth day of October, 1874.
Present:
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 sixteenth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-one, the parcel of land and here-
ditaments described in the Schedule hereto became
vested in Teretiu Kupenga, Pirihira Kahiwa, Tuterei
Karewa, Hoani Toarauawhea, Hona Taiawa, Te Raika
Whakarongotai, Tirita Pareahu, and Wiremu Patene
Raukawa, of the District of Hauraki, in the Province
of Auckland, 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 seventh day of
September, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
four, Eru Te Kupenga claimed to succeed to the
interest of the said Teretiu Te Kupenga in the said
parcel of land described in the said Schedule; and it
was ordered by the said Court that Eru Teretiu,
Mare Haki Teretiu, and Tamara Teretiu, infants
under the age of twenty-one years, should succeed
to the hereditaments aforesaid: And whereas it is
expedient that William Henry Grace and Te Raika
Whakarongotai be appointed trustees under the said
Act on behalf of the said Eru Teretiu, Mare Haki
Teretiu, and Tamara Teretiu during their minority:
Now therefore, His Excellency Sir James Fergus-
son, Baronet, the Governor of New Zealand, with the

Mare Haki Teretiu, and Tamara Teretiu during their
minority.

there, if there be one, or a Jury Officer to be ap-
pointed for the jury district of such town in manner

for the jury district of such town; and such
Jury Officer, and all Justices of the Peace,
and the Registrars, Clerks, or other officers
of Courts, constables and officers of police, and

jury books shall be brought into use, and the persons
whose names shall be therein set down shall be liable

prepared under the provisions hereinbefore contained:
And whereas sittings of the District Court have
been lawfully directed or appointed to be holden at
Waimate, being a town other than one at which
Courts were then holden: Now therefore, I, Sir James
