And whereas it has been made a condition of the establishment of the said Native school that the site required therefor shall be a free gift from the Native owners to His Majesty the King, and the Native owners have agreed to such condition, and it has been made to appear that such agreement is sufficient for the purposes intended to be effected thereby:

And whereas the other portion of the said land, situated in the Haroharo-oihoeka Block, and described in the Second Schedule hereto, is held or occupied by Native owners under their customs and usages, and the title thereto has not derived from the Crown, and is uninvestigated:

And whereas, as required by “The Public Works Act, 1894,” a map has been prepared showing accurately the position and extent of the said land, and such map is hereto attached:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities conferred by “The Public Works Act, 1894,” and “The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1900,” and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby order and declare that the land shown upon the said map and described in the Schedules hereto is hereby taken for the purposes of the said Native school, and shall vest in His Majesty the King, as from the twenty-third day of July, one thousand nine hundred and three.
