WHEREAS by "The Maori Real Estate Management Act, 1867" (hereinafter called "the said Act"), it
is enacted that, if any title to or interest in any hereditaments shall accrue to any Maoris, who or

the Governor in Council be shown to belong to such infant, or lunatic, or other person under legal dis-
ability, shall be vested in Trustees, as the Governor in Council shall think fit:

And whereas by "The Maori Real Estate Management Act Amendment Act, 1877," it is provided that
