"The Native Land Court Act, 1894."

IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND.
In the matter of the partition of the Petane Block, and of the application of Eriata Pokai and others 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, on the 20th day of June, 1900, the Court divided the Petane Block into three parcels, called by the Court Petane Nos. 1, 2, and 3: And whereas it appears from the said report that, owing to the incompleteness of the plan on which the said subdivision was made, the boundaries of Nos. 2 and 3 were incorrectly defined: And whereas it is the desire of all persons interested in the said subdivision that the said boundaries should be amended in manner hereinafter appearing:

Now, therefore, for the purpose of rectifying the said errors, and in exercise of the power in that behalf vested in me as Chief Judge of the Native Land Court by section 39 aforesaid, I hereby order that the boundaries of Sections 2 and 3 aforesaid shall be as set forth in the First Schedule hereto attached, and the boundaries of Section 2 as set forth in the Second Schedule hereto attached, and that the said partition orders of the 20th day of June, 1900, be amended accordingly.

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

As witness my hand, this 15th day of October, 1900.

GEO. B. DAVY, Chief Judge.
