Native Land Court Office,
Auckland, December 14, 1868.
A S Courts will shortly be fixed for Te Wairoa, Makaraka, Uawa, and Waiomatatini, and as much delay,
disappointment, and expense have on previous occasions been sustained by suitors and others in con-
sequence of the want of jurisdiction in the Court, arising from the absence or imperfections of plans, the
following clauses of the Native Lands Acts are published for general information. It is desirable that all
applications should be sent in forthwith, as supplementary notices will not be issued :-
"Native Land Act, 1873," Section 33.
Before any claim to land shall be investigated by the Court, and before any award in partition of any
land shall be made by the Court, it shall be necessary that a survey of such land shall have been made, and
an approved map thereof, as hereinafter described, shall have been lodged in the Court. Such surveys
and maps shall be made in conformity with the provisions of this Act, and of any rules in force relating to
surveys.
"Native Land Act Amendment Act, 1878, No. 2," Section 15.
If, on the examination of any survey or map of any Native lands in accordance with the provisions of
the seventy-first section of the "Native Lands Act, 1873," errors or discrepancies are discovered, which
cannot be amended or rectified in time for the production of such map before the Native Land Court, at
the sitting of which the title to the lands referred to in such map would otherwise have been investigated,
it shall be lawful for the Inspector of Surveys, or any of his deputies, in his or their discretion, provisionally,
to approve of such survey or map, and the Court shall proceed to investigate the title to the lands affected
by such map or survey, and may make an interlocutory order for a memorial of ownership in favour of the
persons found to be interested therein, subject to such survey or map being completed to the satisfaction of
the Inspector of Surveys or his deputies. The Chief Judge of the Native Land Court shall, in his
discretion, on the transmission to him of any such map duly approved by the Inspector of Surveys, or
his deputies, be empowered to change the interlocutory order to a final order, without further hearing or
investigation by the Court.
By order.
A. J. DICKEY,
Chief Clerk.

H E whakaaturanga tenei kia mohiotia ai e kore e roa ka tu he Kooti ki Te Wairoa, ki Makaraka, ki Uawa,
ki Waiomatatini hoki. A notemea he nui te moni i pau, me te whakaroa, me te pouri hoki o te
ngakau o nga Kaitono whakawa, me era atu tangata hoki i nga takiwa kua pahure ake nei notemea kahore
e ahei i te Kooti te whakawa nga whenua i te kore mapi, i te kore ranei o aua mapi i tika, no reira ka
panuitia atu nga Tekihana o nga Ture Whenua Maori e mau ake nei hei whakamohio i te katoa. Na, ko
te mea pai ia kia tukua katoatia mai nga tono whakawa inaianei, notemea e kore e perehitia ano nga tono i
tureiti i te putanga ai o te Panui.
