and conditions as those upon which the undisposed
portions of the special-settlement block shall be dis-
posed of, and the mode of payment for the same, that
is to say,—
-
These amended terms shall be read and con-
strued together with and be deemed to form part of
the original terms and conditions above mentioned,
and all such former terms and conditions as are
repugnant hereto are hereby repealed. -
The Governor shall retain absolutely the sum
of three thousand pounds sterling deposited by the
selector as aforesaid, and shall apply the same in
manner hereinafter mentioned, in reduction of the
sum of eleven thousand three hundred and fifteen
pounds, the total balance of purchase-money now
owing by the selector in respect of the fifteen
thousand acres chosen by him; and the balance
thereafter remaining due, and amounting to eight
thousand three hundred and fifteen pounds, shall be
paid by the selector on or before the first day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six. -
The portions of the special-settlement block now
remaining undisposed of, and consisting of eight
thousand six hundred and twelve acres, shall be
sold at the same price per acre as is fixed in the
original terms and conditions above mentioned, that
is to say, at the rate of twenty-six shillings and three-
pence per acre, of which sums respectively the selector
shall pay in cash nineteen shillings and threepence
per acre, and shall be credited as against the afore-
said sum of three thousand pounds with the sum of
seven shillings for each acre in respect whereof he
shall pay cash as last aforesaid. -
Provided that, if at any time before the said
first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-six, the selector shall pay the above-mentioned
sum of eight thousand three hundred and fifteen
pounds, he may issue land orders as against the
three thousand pounds retained as aforesaid until the

The undisposed lands aforesaid may be disposed
of in the colony or outside thereof, for which pur-
pose the selector may issue land orders within the

to receive payments from the selector for land sold
by him whether within or outside of the colony. -
Any person over eighteen years of age who shall
purchase land from the selector shall be deemed a
settler within the meaning of these amended terms. -
Each settler under these amended terms shall
within three years from the date of making his
selection have made substantial improvements of a
permanent character in the land selected by him to
the value of at least ten shillings for every acre of
such land. The said improvements to be as the same
are defined in section thirty-three of "The Land
Act 1877 Amendment Act, 1882." -
The terms of special settlement contained in the
Order in Council of the twenty-seventh day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty, except
sections ten and eleven thereof, shall, as far as they
are applicable in each case, apply in respect of
every settler who shall purchase land under these
amended terms in the same manner as if he had
bought such land under the aforesaid original terms
and conditions.
And the conditions contained in the said Order in
Council in relation to the selector shall apply also in
such relation as if the said conditions were respectively
reinserted herein.
- In case of the breach by the selector of any of
the terms and conditions herein contained or implied,
the aforesaid sum of three thousand pounds deposited
by the selector under the original terms and con-
ditions above mentioned, or so much thereof as may
remain unallotted, shall be absolutely forfeited to
Her Majesty, over and above any other penalty the
selector may be liable to in respect of any breach
of conditions under the said original terms and
conditions.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this second day of April, 1883.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
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 any of whom shall be infants, lunatics, or
under legal disability, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, if he think fit, to order that such hereditaments, or any part
thereof or interest therein, as shall to the Governor in Council be shown to belong to such infant, or lunatic, or other person
under legal disability, 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, in all cases in which
no trustee of such estate of any infant Maori prior to the passing of the said last-recited Act has been appointed, the Governor
may appoint such trustee only on the recommendation of a Judge of the Native Land Court:
And whereas in pursuance of orders bearing dates as contained in the first column of the Schedule hereto, made by the
Judges named in the second column thereof, the persons named in the third column were recommended to the Governor as
trustees under the said Acts on behalf of the persons named and under the disability described in the fourth column, in respect
of the lands described or referred to in the fifth column:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by the said Acts, doth
hereby order that the interests and shares of the persons under disability named in the Schedule hereto in the block of
land referred to therein shall be and remain vested in the several persons named in the third column thereof as trustees within
the meaning and for the purposes of the said Acts for the said persons respectively during the term or terms of their minority
or other disability; the said parcel of land having the areas and boundaries set forth in the Crown grants, certificates of
title, and memorials of ownership affecting the same, and in the record maps in the office of the Surveyor-General.
