NATIVE LAND COURT NOTICES.

Order under Section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

IN THE NATIVE LAND COURT OF NEW ZEALAND.
In the matter of the Hurunuiorangi Block, and of an application of Turuhira Paraone under section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

WHEREAS the said 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 object of the said application is to have the names of Tamahau Mahupuku, Purakau Maika, Makere Waito, and Naera Pita included in the ownership of that portion of the said block known as Hurunuiorangi No. 1, on the ground that the said names were inadvertently omitted from the list of names of owners submitted to the Court upon the investigation of the title to the said block in May, 1895: And whereas it has been reported to me by the Court that the statements in the said application have been supported by the evidence, and that it would be proper that such omission should be rectified by the inclusion of the said names in manner herein appearing; and, further, that no objection thereto has been made on the part of any of the persons interested:

Now, therefore, for the purpose of rectifying the said omission, and in pursuance and exercise of the power in that behalf vested in me as Chief Judge of the said Court under section 39 aforesaid, I hereby order that the order of the Court ascertaining the title to Hurunuiorangi No. 1, which said order bears date the 21st day of May, 1895, be amended by adding to the list of owners the names of the said Tamahau Mahupuku, Purakau Maika, and Makere Waito as the owners of 4 acres each; and that the said order be further amended by adding to the names of the Eramiha family the name of the said Naera Pita as the owner of 2 acres 1 rood. This order to take effect as from the 24th day of August, 1900.

As witness my hand, this 14th day of May, 1902.

GEO. B. DAVY, Chief Judge.
