SCHEDULE.

OTAGO LAND DISTRICT.—KAUROO SURVEY DISTRICT, BLOCK XI., AND AWAMOKO SURVEY DISTRICT, BLOCK X.

First-class Land.

Mixed agricultural and pastoral country. The main portion of this section is practically ring-fenced, as the Kakaniui River is a natural boundary. Of waste and grazing land there are about 82 acres, the remainder being good agricultural land on what is known as the Crown Hill and its slopes. It has only once had a wheat-crop taken off, sixteen years ago; since then it has been broken up at intervals for root-crops, and sown down again. The distance from Windsor Railway-station is three miles and a half, by good road. The improvements consist of 207½ chains of wire fences and gorse hedges, valued at £80 2s. Water may be obtained from the river by hydraulic ram on to the higher ground. The right is reserved to take a water-race through this section.

The successful applicant must take a temporary license, under section 116 of “The Land Act, 1892,” over Section 14B, containing 15 acres, at a rental of 2s. 6d. per acre per annum.

In the matter of the succession to the interest of Renata Kawepo in Awarua No. 1, and of the application of Airini Tonore and others under section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

WHEREAS the applicants are the persons appointed by the Native Land Court to succeed to the interests of the said Renata Kawepo in the Awarua Block: And whereas at the time of the partition of the said block it was supposed that the share of the said Renata Kawepo had been acquired by the Crown, and the same was included in the portion awarded to the Crown on the said partition: And whereas it has since been ascertained that the said share was included in error, and that the applicants, as successors to Renata Kawepo, are still entitled to the same: And whereas it has been agreed that the claim of the applicants, amounting to 651 acres, shall be satisfied out of the land awarded to the Crown as aforesaid:

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 hereby order that the boundary-line between Awarua 1DA and 1DB be altered so that Awarua 1DA shall contain 22,156 acres, and that Awarua 1DB shall contain 12,094 acres, and that the names of the applicants as set forth in the Schedule hereto be added to the names of the owners of Awarua 1DB, and that the orders of the Native Land Court on the partition of the Awarua 1D Block be amended accordingly.

Notice hereof to be inserted in the Gazette and Kahiti.

As witness my hand, this 7th day of November, 1900.
