any persons interested in any Native land, who may
feel themselves aggrieved by the decision of the Court
in respect thereof, the Governor in Council may order

And whereas on or about the fifteenth day of Decem-
ber, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, an

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of the above recited power,

and by and with the advice and consent of the Execu-
tive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby order and
direct that the said claim of Te Rina Hauruia, and
the other Natives hereinbefore mentioned, shall be
reheard as and in the manner by "The Native Land
Act, 1873," and "The Native Land Act Amend-
ment Act, 1874," provided, and doth also order that
such rehearing shall take place within eighteen
