PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-eighth day of August, 1905.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an order of the Native Land Court made the twenty-sixth day of September, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, purporting to determine the successors to the share or interest of Arapata Hakiwai, deceased, in the land known as Ngatarawa No. 2, Horiana Taituha was declared to be one of the successors to the said share or interest: And whereas it is alleged that the said order was made in pursuance of an informal will made by the said Arapata Hakiwai, and that on the true interpretation of the said will it was the intention of the said Arapata Hakiwai that the said Horiana Taituha should take an estate for her own life in the said share or interest, with remainder to the children of the said Arapata Hakiwai, and that by some error, mistake, or omission the said order purports to vest in the said Horiana Taituha an estate of inheritance:

And whereas application has been made to His Excellency the Governor in Council to consent to the making of an application to the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, in pursuance of the provisions of section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” to amend the said order for the purpose of rectifying the said alleged error, mistake, or omission:

And whereas on inquiry held in pursuance of the provisions of “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1902,” the Governor is satisfied that a prima facie case has been established, and that it would be inexpedient to dispose of it by remedial legislation or any other procedure which would obviate litigation:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of all powers and authorities in that behalf vested in him by “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1902,” and of every other power and authority enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby consent to the making of an application to the Chief Judge of the said Court in accordance with the provisions of section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” for the purpose of rectifying the said alleged error, mistake, or omission, and that the said order of the said Court made the twenty-sixth day of September, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, may be the subject of an order of the said Chief Judge under the said section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”

Clerk of the Executive Council.
