Notice as to Removal of Restrictions on the Alienation of

Land by Natives.

Native Office,
Wellington, 29th December, 1890.

CLAUSE 5 of "The Native Land Act, 1888," provides
that existing restrictions on alienation may be removed
or declared void by the Governor in Council, on the applica-
tion of a majority in number of the Native owners.

Clause 17 of "The Native Land Court Acts Amendment
Act, 1889," provides that where application is made to the
Governor to remove or make void any restrictions on aliena-
tion under the provisions of section 5 of "The Native Land
Act, 1888," or where the consent of the Governor to any
alienation of the land comprised in any grant heretofore or
hereafter to be issued is required by the terms of such grant,
then, before such power is exercised or consent given, inquiry
shall be made by the Court as therein mentioned.

It is hereby notified that any persons making application
under the foregoing provisions must furnish the following
information:—

1. The name (if any) of the land granted, and the numbers
   and dates of the grants or other instruments containing the
   restrictions sought to be removed, or sufficient other infor-
   mation to enable grants or instruments of title to be traced
   and identified.

2. Whether the applicant is an original grantee or a suc-
   cessor of an original grantee. If the latter, copy of the
   succession order must be forwarded with the application.

3. Where consent is required to any partial alienation of
   land, such as by lease or mortgage, an engrossment of the
   instrument of alienation to which the consent of the Governor
   is required must be forwarded in duplicate, and one copy
   will be retained for the purposes of record.

4. Each signature to an application must be attested by a
   Judge, Registrar, or Licensed Interpreter of the Native Land
   Court, a Justice of the Peace, a Solicitor of the Supreme
   Court, a Clerk of Resident Magistrate's Court, or a Post-
   master.

5. In cases where the application is written in English,
   but signed by a Native, in addition to the attestation of the
   signature, a certificate must be appended, signed by a
   Licensed Interpreter of the Native Land Court, certifying
   that the application was read over in Maori, and explained
   to the Native before signing, and that he appeared fully to
   understand the same.

6. Any person signing the name of another to any applica-
   tion without sufficient authority will render himself liable to
   such penalties as the law provides. In all cases where prac-
   ticable the authority to sign as agent should accompany the
   application.

By order.
T. W. LEWIS,
Under-Secretary.
