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 succession to Kapo te Tou, deceased, in Waitarere, and of the application of Poni Hakaria 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 the Court, by its order made on the 14th day of May, 1887, appointed Mihaka Karepa, Epiha Karepa, and Heni te Rei to succeed to the interest of the said Kapo in Waitarere: And whereas the Court made the succession order in the belief that there were no living descendants of the said Kapo other than Karepa Kapukai and his children, the said Mihaka Karepa and Epiha Karepa: And whereas it was shown upon the said inquiry that there was another descendant of the said Kapo living at his decease—viz., Pango Akuhata, daughter of Akuhata Karanama, deceased: And whereas by reason of the said want of knowledge on the part of the Court the said Pango Akuhata was erroneously omitted from the said succession order:

Now, therefore, for the purpose of rectifying the said omission, 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 said succession order of the 14th day of May, 1887, be amended by adding the name of the said Pango Akuhata as the owner of one-half of the said interest, the other half to be for the said Mihaka Karepa, Epiha Karepa, and Heni te Rei equally between them: And, further, that the partition order for Waitarere No. 6, so far as relates to the successors of the said Kapo, be amended to correspond with the amended succession order: Provided that the order hereby made shall in nowise affect the title of the lessees under a certain lease of Waitarere No. 6, granted by the said Karepa Kapukai and others to Thomas Kenny and others for twenty-one years from the 1st day of September, 1897; but the person whose name is hereby ordered to be included in the title, or her duly appointed successors, shall be entitled to share in the rent payable under the said lease as from the date hereof in the proportion above indicated.

As witness my hand, this 6th day of March, 1903.

GEO. B. DAVY, Chief Judge.
