At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-eighth day of June, 1899.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by “The Native Townships Act, 1895” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), it is enacted that the Governor in Council may from time to time make such regulations as he thinks fit as to the mode in which shall be done anything by the said Act expressed to be prescribed, and, generally, for the purpose of giving full effect to the provisions thereof; and also that such regulations shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament forthwith, if sitting, and, if not sitting, within twenty-one days after the beginning of the session; and also that such regulations shall, if either House pass a resolution disapproving of them, cease to have any validity or force:

And whereas an Order in Council made on the tenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, prescribed a regulation for the mode of payment to Native owners of moneys to the credit of a Native Township Account: And whereas it is expedient to revoke such regulation, and to make another in lieu thereof:

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers in this behalf conferred upon me by the said Act, I, Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, do hereby revoke the aforesaid regulation made on the tenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, and in lieu thereof do hereby make the following regulation for the purpose aforesaid, in addition to the regulations prescribed by the Order in Council issued on the fourth day of February, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six:—

5. Money to the credit of the Native Township Account of any Native township under the said Act which, in terms of section 20, is due to any Native owner whose proportionate shares have been determined by the Native Land Court may be paid to any such Native owner by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, at such place, and on or after the 31st day of March or 30th September in each year, as shall be notified one month beforehand in the Gazette and also in the Kahiti.

A copy of the order of the Native Land Court made in partition, signed by the Registrar, shall be sufficient evidence of the ownership of any Native owner named therein; and, in cases where the Native owner is not able to attend at the place and date notified, it is competent for the Commissioner to pay to any such owner, at any time thereafter, on his being satisfied of his identity, such rent as is due to him or her, or to pay to an agent who shall present an order in the following form:—

I hereby authorise Mr. Date: .
(whose signature appears in the margin) to receive from the Commissioner of Crown Lands, , the sum of £ , being money due to me as a Native owner of the Township, and to sign on my behalf a receipt for that amount.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, the licensees shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the Minister the sum of two pounds ten shillings, and thereafter an annual sum of one pound, payable on the 1st day of July, dating from the 1st day of July, 1899.

4. All persons shall, at all reasonable times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use the said wharf, and all rights of ingress and egress thereon and therefrom.
