IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT
OF NEW ZEALAND.

In the matter of the Wairere or Komangarautawhiri B Na-
tive Reserve and of an application by TE OUEMUKU RENE
and others under section 39 of "The Native Land Court
Act, 1894."

WHEREAS by an Order in Council under "The Native
Land Act, 1867," dated the 2nd day of November,
1867, it was referred to the Native Land Court to determine
who were the Natives interested in a certain reserve at
Porirua, in the Provincial District of Wellington, described
in Schedule C to the said Order in Council, and to order the
subdivision thereof amongst such Natives, and to order cer-
tificates to be issued according to the plan of such subdivi-
sion in such or the like manner as is provided in the 17th
section of "The Native Land Act, 1867": And whereas
the Court, by order dated the 20th day of November, 1873,
in continuation of proceedings commenced prior to the repeal
of "The Native Land Act, 1867," determined who were the
Natives entitled as aforesaid, and subdivided the said reserve
into the blocks now known as Komangarautawhiri and Koma-
garautawhiri B or Wairere, but omitted to order the issue
of certificates of title as aforesaid; and no such certificates
have been issued: And whereas application has been made
to me as Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, under sec-
tion 39 of "The Native Land Court Act, 1894," by the
owners of the Wairere portion of the said original reserve, to
remedy the said omission with regard to that portion of the
said land:
Now, therefore, for the purpose of remedying such omis-
sion, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers in that
behalf vested in me by section 39 aforesaid, I hereby order
that a certificate of title under section 17 of "The Native
Land Court Act, 1867," be issued for that portion of the said
original reserve now known as Wairere or Komangarauta-
whiri B, in the names of the persons determined by the said
order to be the owners thereof, and that such certificate
shall bear date and shall take effect as if the same had been
issued in pursuance of a direction to that effect in the said
order.
And I direct that this order be notified in the Gazette and
Kahiti.
As witness my hand, this 12th day of September, 1895.
GEO. B. DAVY,
Chief Judge.
