WHEREAS by the fifty-eighth section of "The

to as "the said Act"), it is enacted that, upon the ap-
plication of any persons interested in any Native
land who may feel themselves aggrieved by the
decision of the Native Land Court in respect thereof,
the Governor in Council may order a rehearing of
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 certificate in manner
in the said Act required as may be limited in such
order; and, upon such order being made, all proceed-
ings 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 application for a rehear-
ing shall be entertained if it be made after six months
shall have elapsed from the time of such publication:

And whereas at a sitting of the Native Land
Court of New Zealand at Kaibu, in the Kaipara
District, in the Provincial District of Auckland, on
the seventeenth day of August, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty, the claim of Tirarau Kukupa
and another, aboriginal natives of New Zealand, to
a piece of land called Waitomotomo, situate at
Waitomotomo, in the said district, was heard and
decided, and a certain order was thereupon made by
the Court:

And whereas on or about the twenty-seventh day
of October, one thousand eight hundred and eighty,
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, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of the above-recited power,
and by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby
order and direct that the said claim of Tirarau

shall be reheard as and in the manner provided by
"The Native Land Act, 1873," and doth also order
that such rehearing shall take place within two
years from the said seventeenth day of August, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty.
