New Zealand Company’s Land Claims.—Commissioner’s Decision.

WHEREAS the Honourable Lady Mary Frances Burke, of Marble Hill, in the County of Galway, Ireland, has, by her Attorneys, Messrs. Fell and Atkinson, of Nelson, New Zealand, made application to the Commissioner for hearing claims to land, under the New Zealand Company’s Land Claimants Ordinance, for a Crown grant for Section No. 138 on the plan of the District of Waimea East; also for a Crown grant of Section No. 8 on the plan of the District of Takaka; also for a Crown grant of Section No. 813 on the plan of the Town of Picton:

And whereas by the reason of the non-production of the original land orders* issued by the said company, by virtue of which the above sections of land were selected, the title to the fee-simple of the said sections has not been fully proved to the said Commissioner; but other legal claims on the said sections may exist:

And whereas the said Honourable Lady Mary Frances Burke has, by her said attorneys, made application for relief under “The Lost Land Orders Act, 1861:”

Now, therefore, I, Henry Cooper Daniell, Commissioner duly appointed by virtue of the Act intituled “The Lost Land Orders Act, 1861,” to receive and investigate applications for relief in accordance with the provisions of the said Act, having considered the claim of the said Honourable Lady Mary Frances Burke, and having taken the security required by the said Act, do hereby decide that the said Honourable Lady Mary Frances Burke is entitled to the relief claimed, by receiving, through the Commissioner of New Zealand Company’s Land Claims, Crown grants of the lands hereinbefore specified.
