WHEREAS by "The Native Land Court Act, 1886," as
amended by "The Native Land Court Act 1886
Amendment Act, 1888," and "The Native Land Court Acts
Amendment Act, 1889," it is enacted that it shall be lawful
for the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, subject to the
approval of the Governor in Council, from time to time to
make rules for regulating the sittings, practice, forms, and
procedure of the Court, and for the government of all persons
acting under the said first-mentioned Act, and for fixing the
fees to be paid under the said first-mentioned Act, the time
and mode of payment, and for enforcing the payment thereof,
and such rules from time to time by other rules to alter or
revoke:

And whereas by "The Native Land (Validation of Titles)
Act, 1892," it is enacted that the said last-mentioned Act
shall be read together with "The Native Land Court Act,
