THE HONOURABLE THE PREMIER PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Order in Council bearing date the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, it was declared that the assent of the aboriginal inhabitants to the bringing of the piece of land described in the Schedule thereunder written, and mentioned in the Schedule hereto, under the operation of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," had been ascertained, and thereupon the title of the aboriginal inhabitants in the said land became extinguished, and the land, from the date of the said Order in Council, vested in Her Majesty for the purposes and subject to the provisions of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," aforesaid, as altered by "The Native Reserves Act Amendment Act, 1862," as effectually as if the same had been ceded and conveyed by such aboriginal inhabitants to Her Majesty:

And whereas the several matters and questions hereunder specified have arisen in relation to the said land, and it is convenient that jurisdiction over the same should be possessed by the Native Land Court:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by section fifty-one of "The Native Land Court Act, 1886," as amended by section seven of "The Native Land Court Acts Amendment Act, 1889," and of all other powers and authorities conferred upon him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby order and declare that the matters and questions hereunder specified shall be within the jurisdiction of the Native Land Court—that is to say, the said Court shall have jurisdiction to determine (1) whether any, and, if any, what, persons of the Native race are entitled to a beneficial interest in the said land, and in what relative shares or proportions respectively; (2) in what manner, whether by grant from the Crown or otherwise, the title to such interests may be secured to each of such persons as may be found to have a beneficial interest as aforesaid, and subject to what conditions, limitations, or restrictions, if any, the said interests shall be held by them, or any of them; (3) any other matter that may arise in relation to the premises. And it is hereby further declared that this Order shall take effect on and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four.
