WHEREAS the Native Land Court sitting at Kaipara on the 12th day of February, 1892, on the application of Hare Kahu, granted probate of the said will to the said Hare Kahu: And whereas such grant ought not to have been made, there being no executor appointed by the said will: And whereas Ria Tikini, a person interested under the said will, has made application under section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” to have the said grant of probate revoked, to the intent that some fit and proper person, to be approved by the Court, may be appointed to administer the said will:

Now, therefore, for the purpose of rectifying the error, and in exercise of the powers vested in me as Chief Judge by section 39 aforesaid, I hereby annul the said grant of probate, and order that the application of the said Henare Kahu be again heard and dealt with by the Court as if no order had been heretofore made thereon.

I direct that notice hereof be given in the Gazette and Kahiti.

As witness my hand, this 12th day of August, 1898.
