IN THE VALIDATION COURT,
HELDEN AT GISBORNE.

In the matter of "The Native Land (Validation of Titles)
Act, 1893"; and in the matter of the Panikau No. 5
Block.

A. EDWARD MURPHY, of Te Arai, applies under the
above-mentioned Act for the validation of his
interests in the above block, containing 694 acres, more or
less, situate in the Native Land Court District of Gisborne.

B. The applicant desires to appear before the Validation
Court on Monday, the 13th day of August, 1894, at 10 a.m.,
or at the first sitting of the Court thereafter.

C. The nature of the transaction proposed for validation
is,—

A Memorandum of Transfer entered into and made by
the several Native transferors to the applicant
upon the dates and for the several considerations
shown hereunder:—

D. The land the estates and interests in which were in-
tended to be alienated is all that block known as Panikau
No. 5, situate in the District of Poverty Bay; and the title
of the said block at the time of the several alienations
claimed to be validated was certificate of title, dated the
28th day of July, 1881.

E. The estate or interest which the applicant seeks to
obtain through the aid of the Court in the several estates
and interests claimed is a freehold.

F. The applicant came to be invested with the title he now
holds by direct purchase from the several vendors, whose
names are set out under the letter c of this application.

G. The address for service of the applicant in the Town of
Gisborne is at the office of Cecil Albert de Lautour, solicitor.

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

At the hearing the applicant will further rely in support of
his application upon the investigation into his title made by
the Examiner of Titles appointed under "The Land Transfer
Act, 1885," and upon the certificate of title, vol. xxiii.,
folio 67, issued thereon.

The applicant desires that all others who may claim to be
interested in the validation applied for shall 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,
nor of any European, who may properly claim to be an
objector.

Dated this 13th day of June, 1894.

Signed by the applicant, Edward Murphy, by his agent, in
the presence of A. McKay, law clerk, Gisborne.
