816 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 35

Application to the Validation Court under “The Native
Land (Validation of Titles) Act, 1893.”

IN THE VALIDATION COURT,
HELD AT GISBORNE.

In the matter of “The Native Land (Validation of Titles)
Act, 1893”; and in the matter of the Rahokapua Block,
Cook County.

a. JAMES EAST, of Gisborne, merchant, as trustee in the
bankruptcy of Sydney Josias Bromley, of Gisborne,
a debtor, applies for the validation of his interests in the
above block, containing 691 acres or thereby, situate in the
Native Land District of Gisborne.

b. The applicant desires to appear before the Court on
Monday, the 10th day of June, 1895, at 10 o’clock in the
forenoon, or at the first sitting of the Court thereafter.

c. The nature of the transaction proposed for validation is:
A purchase by, and deed of conveyance from five of the six
Native owners thereof to, one Peter Cooper, of Poverty Bay,
settler—viz., from Eru Pohatu, Wi Kaipuke, Rawinia Apatu,
Mere Pohatu, and Karauria te Pei—for a consideration of
£58 paid to them, and which conveyance is dated the 10th
day of February, 1882. The transaction was inquired into,
and the deed certified by the Trust Commissioner of the
district, on the 1st day of November, 1886.

d. The interests acquired and intended to be alienated by
the said conveyance are estates or interests of the five
Native owners above named; and the title of the said alienors
was a certificate of title, dated the 8th day of May, 1882, from
the Native Land Court to them and one Kaita Pongarau, a
non-seller, to the said Rahokapua Block.

e. The applicant seeks to obtain the shares or interests of
the said five sellers to Peter Cooper in freehold title, but not
the share or interest of the non-seller (Kaita Pongarau),
whose share was subdivided out and allocated to her by the
Native Land Court on the 27th day of February, 1889, as
Rahokapua No. 2, estimated to contain 114 acres.

f. The estate and interest of Peter Cooper in the said
land and conveyance was acquired under a conveyance, dated
the 27th day of May, 1886, from the Sheriff of Poverty Bay
District to the applicant, as the purchaser at a sale by the
Sheriff under writ of sale in action No. 232 (Northern
Judicial District, Gisborne Office), by the applicant, as trustee
aforesaid, against the said Peter Cooper.

g. The address for service of the applicant, as trustee afore-
said, is at the office of William Sievwright, of Gladstone
Road, Gisborne, solicitor.

h. The applicant desires that the said five persons who
signed the deed of conveyance to Peter Cooper, and also
Kaita Pongarau, shall be served with copies of the application,
in order that they may appear and object if they see proper;
further, that Edward Patrick Joyce, of Gisborne, land agent,
shall be served in like manner, in respect that he claims to
be entitled to the said Peter Cooper’s interests under the
conveyance of the 10th day of February, 1882, which is in
his possession, but which he declines to deliver up to the
applicant. The applicant is not aware of any other Maori
or European who may properly claim to be an objector, but
he wishes all persons interested, if any, although unknown
to him, to be treated as parties to the proceedings herein.

Dated this 27th day of March, 1895.

JAMES EAST,
(By his Agent, W. SIEVWRIGHT,
Solicitor, Gisborne).

Signed by the applicant James East, by his agent, in the
presence of—Lincoln Rees, Solicitor, Gisborne.
To the Registrar of the Validation Court,
