IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND.

In the matter of Aranui No. 1 Block, and of the application of Te Rawha under section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

WHEREAS the above application was referred by me to the Native Land Court for inquiry and report, and the same has been duly reported on: And whereas the Aranui Block was divided by the Court into two parcels, named respectively Aranui and Aranui No. 1: And whereas Aranui No. 1 was further divided into Aranui 1a and Aranui 1b: And whereas the names Kutoro te Rawha appear in the partition orders for Aranui No. 1 and Aranui No. 1b as the names of one person only: And whereas upon the said inquiry it has been shown that the said names are the names of two persons—viz., Kutoro and Te Rawha—and that by reason of the error the interest of the said Te Rawha has been prejudicially affected: Now, therefore, for the purpose of rectifying the said error, and in exercise of the power in that behalf vested in me by section 39 aforesaid, I order that the said partition orders be amended by striking out the names “Kutoro te Rawha” and inserting the names “Kutoro” and “Te Rawha” as those of separate owners; and by striking out the definition of relative interests of the owners of Aranui No. 1b, to the intent that it be referred to the Native Land Court to redefine the said interests in accordance with the order as amended.

As witness my hand, this 18th day of December, 1900.

IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND.

In the matter of Te Waimimiti Nos. 1 and 3, and of the application of Hare Matenga under section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

WHEREAS the above application was referred by me to the Native Land Court for inquiry and report, and the same has been duly reported on: And whereas the applicant represents the persons to whom Waimimiti M1 was awarded on the partition of the Waimimiti Block: And whereas those persons had, prior to the said partition, erected certain buildings and fences and made other improvements on that portion of the block which was named on the partition Waimimiti M3: And whereas there is reason to believe that the Court made the said partition in ignorance of the said improvements, or in the belief that the same were included in the boundaries of Waimimiti M1, and that through such misapprehension the Court omitted to allow a reasonable time for the removal of the said improvements, as is usual in such cases:

Now, therefore, for the purpose of remedying the said omission, and in exercise of the power in that behalf vested in me by section 39 aforesaid, I hereby order that the partition order for Waimimiti M3 be made subject to the right of the owners of Waimimiti M1 at any time before the 31st day of March, 1901, to remove their said improvements, or such of them as are of a movable nature, and that the said order for Waimimiti No. 3 be amended accordingly.

Notice hereof to be given in the Gazette and Kahiti.

As witness my hand, this 12th day of December, 1900.
