IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND.

In the matter of the Komangarautawhiri A Native Reserve and of an application by Karoraina te Wheoro 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 certificates to be issued according to the plan of such subdivision, 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 A and Komangarautawhiri 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 section 39 of "The Native Land Court Act, 1894," by the owners of the Komangarautawhiri A 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 omission, 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 Act, 1867," be issued for that portion of the said original reserve now known as Komangarautawhiri A, 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 8th day of November, 1897.

GEO. B. DAVY, Chief Judge.
