D. All the undivided estates, shares, and interests of the
above-named Native vendors in the said Whangara Block
were then and still are intended by the said Native vendors
to be alienated by them respectively to him, the said Charles
Seymour, and his heirs for ever, their title thereto at the
time of such alienation being a Certificate of Title issued to
them and other Native owners by the Native Land Court of
New Zealand, bearing date the 20th day of February, 1871,
entered in Book xvii. (Poverty Bay), No. 14, page 14.

E. The said Charles Seymour claims through the aid of
this honourable Court the undivided shares or interests of
the said fifty-eight Native owners in the said Whangara
Block, to be held by him as an estate in fee-simple, free from
encumbrances save and except a certain Deed of Lease,
bearing date the 25th day of June, 1879, made between all
the owners of the said Whangara Block of the one part, and
one James Seymour, therein described, of the other part,
registered in the office of the Registrar of Deeds, at Napier,
under the number 15319.

F. The said Charles Seymour came to be invested with the
title to the said fifty-eight shares or interests by purchase
direct from the said Native vendors, evidenced by a Memo-
randum of Transfer, bearing date the 29th day of May, 1883,
duly executed by fifty-six of the said Native vendors, having
indorsed thereon the certificate of a Trust Commissioner,
duly stamped, and registered in the office of the Registrar of
Deeds, at Napier, under the number 20827, and also by
another undated Memorandum of Transfer, duly executed by
the other two of the said Native vendors, to him, and by a
Power of Attorney, dated the 29th day of May, 1883, duly
executed by all the said Native vendors, irrevocably nomi-
ating and appointing the applicant their attorney to com-
plete the said purchases.

The applicant will also seek to obtain through the aid of
the Court an order or decree charging the said Whangara
Block, or such part thereof as the Court may deem fit, with
the payment to the applicant of the sum of £318 10s., to-
gether with interest thereon at the rate of £8 per centum
per annum, computed from the 5th day of June, 1888, until
payment; the said sum of £318 10s. being the amount of
costs awarded the applicant by a judgment of the Supreme
Court of New Zealand, dated the 5th day of June, 1888, in
action No. 339, brought by or on behalf of the Native
owners of the said Whangara Block against the applicant.

The applicant will further seek to obtain through the aid
of the Court an order or decree charging the said Whangara
Block, or such part thereof as the Court may see fit, with the
payment to the applicant of the sum of £670, together with
interest thereon at the rate of £8 per centum per annum, to
be computed from the 11th day of June, 1880, until payment.
