WHEREAS by section three of “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1897,” it is enacted that “any Native or Natives, whether incorporated or otherwise, owning land under title of any description, may convey the same or any defined part thereof by way of trust to the Surveyor-General or the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the district in which such land is situate, or to some other fit person appointed by the Governor in Council, upon such terms as to sale, leasing, managing, improving, and raising money upon the same as may be agreed upon between the parties or as may be declared by the Governor in Council; and the Surveyor-General or Commissioner of Crown Lands or other the person as aforesaid (hereinafter called ‘the trustee’) is hereby authorised to accept such trust”: And whereas by section two of “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1898,” it is enacted that the words “lands under title of any description” in the aforesaid section three of “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1897,” shall be deemed to extend to and include lands owned by or vested in any corporate body of Natives incorporated by any private, general, or special Act whatsoever: And whereas the owners of the land known as Mangatu No. 3, incorporated under “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and hereinafter termed “Mangatu No. 3,” being desirous of conveying the said land by way of trust to the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the District of Hawke’s Bay, Wiremu Pere, and Henry Cheetham Jackson, both of Gisborne, have applied to His Excellency the Governor to appoint the said persons to undertake such trust: And whereas the terms of such trust as to leasing, managing, improving, and raising money upon the said land have been set forth in a deed about to be made between the said Mangatu No. 3 of the one part and the said Commissioner of Crown Lands for the District of Hawke’s Bay, Wiremu Pere, and Henry Cheetham Jackson of the other part: And whereas by section five of the said “Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1897,” it is enacted that “for the purposes of giving effect to this and the two last preceding sections hereof the Governor in Council may from time to time make such regulations as he may deem necessary, and may also exempt any land from all or any of the restrictions, limitations, or provisions of ‘The Native Land Court Act, 1894,’ or any other Act affecting Native lands or lands owned or held by Natives”: And whereas it is expedient for the purposes aforesaid that the said land be exempted from all the restrictions, limitations, or provisions of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1895”:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by section 3 of “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1897,” and every other power or authority in anywise enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby appoint the said Commissioner of Crown Lands for the District of Hawke’s Bay, Wiremu Pere, and Henry Cheetham Jackson, and the survivor of them, and the executors and administrators of such survivor, to be the trustees and trustee under the said section for the said Mangatu No. 3, upon the terms as to leasing, managing, improving, and raising money upon the said land which have been agreed upon between the said Mangatu No. 3 and the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the District of Hawke’s Bay, Wiremu Pere, and Henry Cheetham Jackson, and have been embodied in the said deed of trust. And His Excellency the Governor, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by section five of “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1897,” and of every other power or authority in anywise enabling him in that behalf, and by and with the like advice and consent, doth hereby exempt the said land from all the restrictions, limitations, and provisions of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and “The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1895,” to the intent that the said land may be conveyed to the said trustees and dealt with by them in accordance with the said deed of trust, in the same manner and to the same extent as if the same were land owned by a European and so conveyed in trust.
