tenth day of April, 1877.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the fifty-eighth section of "The
Native Land Act, 1873," (hereinafter referred
to as "the said Act,") it is enacted that, upon the
application of any persons interested in any Native
land who may feel themselves aggrieved by the de-
cision of the Native Land Court in respect thereof,
the Governor in Council may order a rehearing of
any matter heard and decided under the provisions
of the said Act, within such a period of time from
the publication of the decision and memorial of
ownership, in manner in the said Act required, as
may be limited in such order; and upon such order
being made, all proceedings theretofore taken by the
Court in such matter shall be annulled, and the case
shall commence de novo, and shall proceed in manner
provided by the said Act: Provided that no appli-
cation for a rehearing shall be entertained if it be
made after six months shall have elapsed from the
time of such publication:

And whereas by the eighth section of "The Native
Land Act Amendment Act, 1874," (hereinafter
referred to as "the said Amendment Act,") it is
enacted that in any case where an application for a
rehearing of any matter heard and decided under
"The Native Lands Act, 1865," and the Acts amend-
ing the same, shall have been made subsequently to
the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-three, the Governor in Council may, in
the manner provided by the fifty-eighth section of the
said Act, order a rehearing of any such matter so
heard and decided as aforesaid; and all the provisions
of the said Act respecting rehearings, so far as appli-
cable, shall extend to any rehearing under the said
Amendment Act: Provided that such application
shall in each case have been made within six months
from the date of the decision of the Court in such
case:

And whereas at a sitting of the Native Land Court
of New Zealand, at Waiomatatini, Waiapu, in the
Hawke's Bay District, in the Province of Auckland,
on the fifteenth day of May, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-six, and following days, the
claim of Hare Paihia and another, aboriginal natives
of New Zealand, to a piece of land called Te Ahi-
kouka No. 1, situate at Waiapu, in the said district,
was heard and decided, and a certain order was
thereupon made by the said Court:

And whereas, on or about the thirty-first day of
May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, an
application was made by and on behalf of certain
aboriginal natives claiming to have an interest in
the said land, for a rehearing of the said claim, and
it is expedient that the said claim should be reheard
before the said Court:

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 Exe-
cutive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby order
and direct that the said claim of Hare Paihia and
another to the piece of land aforesaid shall be reheard

as and in the manner provided by "The Native Land
Act, 1873;" and doth also order that such rehearing
shall take place within two years from the said
fifteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-six.
