HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Maori Real Estate Manage-

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 an order bearing date the twenty-
ninth day of November, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-five, under the hand of John Rogan,
Esquire, Judge of the Native Land Court, under the
seal of the said Court, it was ordered that a memo-
rial of the ownership of Riripeti Harata, Mere Roihi,
Erena Heni, and others to the lands described in the

And whereas the said Riripeti Harata, Mere Roihi,
and Erena Heni are infants under the age of twenty-
one years, and it is expedient that Peti Morete
(Betty Morris), half-caste, of Poverty Bay, be ap-
pointed trustee under the said Act on behalf of the

him by the said Act, doth hereby order that the
interests and shares of the said Riripeti Harata,
Mere Roihi, and Erena Heni in the land described
in the Schedule hereto shall be and remain vested in

PETI MORETE (BETTY MORRIS) half-caste,
as Trustee, within the meaning and for the purposes
of the said Act, for the said Riripeti Harata, Mere
Roihi, and Erena Heni during their minority.
