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

And whereas at a sitting of the Native Land Court
of New Zealand, at Gisborne, Poverty Bay, in the
District of Hawke's Bay, in the Provincial District
of Auckland, on the twentieth day of December, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, the claim of
Pita te Huhu and others, aboriginal natives of New
Zealand, to a piece of land called Waingaromia No. 2,
situate at Waingaromia 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 tenth day of March,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, 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, I, James Prendergast, Esquire, the
Administrator of the Government of New Zealand,
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, do hereby order and
