At the Government House, at Wellington, this eleventh day of March, 1884.

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 New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the 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 several blocks 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 parcels 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.
