WHEREAS by a deed of cession, bearing date
the 10th day of August, 1853, made between
certain Natives, members of the Ngatitoa and other
tribes, of the first part, and Her Majesty the Queen
of the second part, it was stipulated inter alia that
certain portions of the land so ceded should be
granted by the Governor to some of the chiefs: And
whereas it was subsequently arranged that the quan-
tity of land to be set apart as aforesaid should be
200 acres each, for the twenty-six persons whose
names appear in a list appended to a document dated
11th August, 1853: And whereas the said stipula-
tion has never been fulfilled in the manner provided,
and it has been decided, in substitution thereof, to
settle the question by a payment in money to the
original claimants, a list of whom is appended hereto:
And whereas the General Assembly did in the year

the claims of chiefs or their representatives
to such land: And whereas His Excellency the
Administrator of the Government has, by a warrant
dated the 12th day of October, 1880, appointed us,
the undersigned, Charles Heaphy of Wellington, and
Alexander Mackay of Nelson, Esquires, to be Com-
missioners to ascertain who of the said twenty-six
chiefs now survive, and who are the representatives
now living of such of the said chiefs who may have
died, and to report to him as to who are the persons
who may be entitled to participate in such sum of
£5,200 and the interest that may have accrued
thereon, and as to what may be the amount of their
shares respectively:
Now, therefore, we, the said Commissioners, do
hereby give notice that we shall on Wednesday, the
12th day of January, 1881, at 11 o'clock in the fore-
noon, at Porirua, in the Provincial District of
