Present:

THE HONOURABLE J. CARROLL PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the several parcels of land enumerated in the Schedule hereto are vested in the Public Trustee under and by virtue of “The West Coast Settlement Reserves Act, 1892,” and its amendments:

And whereas the beneficial ownership of the said lands respectively, and the interests of the owners in each several parcel as against each other, have never been definitely settled: And whereas it is expedient to settle all doubts as to the jurisdiction of the Native Land Court to exercise the powers given to it by sections fourteen to seventeen of “The West Coast Settlement Reserves Act, 1892,” unless the Governor in Council, at the request of the Public Trustee, directs such jurisdiction to be exercised: And whereas the Public Trustee has preferred such request:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby direct the said Native Land Court to exercise in respect of the said lands all powers and authorities conferred on the said Court by any statutes in this behalf and necessary for determining who are the Native owners in each parcel of the lands set forth in the Schedule hereunder appearing, and their relative shares or interests therein as against each other, and to cause a list showing the names of such Native owners, and their shares or interests as determined, to be filed in the office of the Public Trustee, and to do, order, and determine all other acts, matters, and things coming within the scope of the directions in the said Acts and of this Order in Council respectively.

SCHEDULE.

Restrictions on all above grants: Absolutely inalienable.
