h. The applicant desires that the estates and interests of the Native persons aforesaid who executed the several deeds of conveyance set out under the letter c of this application shall be bound by the decree of the Court, and for that purpose requires that copies of this application shall be served upon them or their representatives according to the list set forth in the Schedule hereto.

The applicant will also at the hearing rely upon Deed of Conveyance, dated the 10th day of August, 1893, and made by the Native vendors in confirmation of previous deeds of transfer or conveyance or otherwise, for the considerations and at the respective dates shown hereunder:—

The applicant will also rely upon the finding of the Judge of the Native Land Court at Gisborne upon an inquiry in open Court made on the 6th day of November, 1893, in terms of “The Native Land Act 1886 Amendment Act, 1888,” finding the purchase by the applicant of all the shares and estates of the Native owners in the Poroikamoana Block to be equitable, and the transaction of purchase bonâ fide.

The applicant desires that all others who may claim to be interested in the validation applied for shall also be treated as parties to these proceedings, but the applicant is unable, except as hereinafter mentioned, to specify any names as those of persons entitled to object to the validation applied for.

The applicant is not aware of any other aboriginal native who may properly claim to be an objector.
