IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND,
AUCKLAND DISTRICT.

In the matter of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and of an application by Ratima Pekamu, under section 39 of the said Act, for inclusion of his name in the list of owners of the Umukaimata No. 2 Block.

WHEREAS the said application was referred by me to the Native Land Court for inquiry and report, and such inquiry was held at Otorohanga, on the 30th day of November, 1897, before Walter Edward Gudgeon, Esq., a Judge of the said Court, and Pirimi Mataiawhea, Assessor: And whereas, as the result of such inquiry, it appears that the said Ratima Pekamu is entitled to be so included, and that his name has been omitted in error:

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers vested in me as Chief Judge of the said Court by section 39 aforesaid, I hereby order that the name of the said Ratima Pekamu be added to the list of owners of the said Umukaimata No. 2 Block, for an equal share in the said block. And I direct that this order be published in the Gazette and Kahiti.

As witness my hand, this 7th day of January, 1898.
