dred and seventy-eight, the claim of Erueti Tamai-
koha and others, aboriginal natives of New Zealand,

Court:

And whereas on or about the twenty-fourth day of

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 Erueti Tamaikoha
