At the Government House, at Wellington, this
seventeenth day of April, 1877.
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 certificate of title
bearing date the eighteenth day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy, the parcel of
land and hereditaments described in the Schedule
hereto was certified to belong to Punu and others,
their heirs and assigns, of the District of Wairoa, in
the Province of Hawke's Bay, aboriginal natives of
New Zealand:
And whereas the said Punu died intestate:
And whereas at a sitting of the Native Land
Court held at Wairoa, in the province aforesaid, on
the twenty-third day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-six, Rangi Punu and Paku
claimed to succeed to the interest and share of the
said Punu in the parcel of land described in the said
Schedule:
And it was ordered by the said Court that Rangi
Punu and Paku, infants under the age of twenty-one
years, should succeed to the interest and share of the
said Punu in the hereditaments aforesaid:
And it is expedient that Maraki Kohea be appointed
trustee under the said Act on behalf of the said
Rangi Punu and Paku:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of
New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the colony, in exercise and in
pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him
by the said Act, doth hereby order that the interests
and shares of the said Rangi Punu and Paku in the
