WHEREAS, upon inquiry held in open Court, it appears that the said order of the Native Land Court 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, inter alia, that Horiana Taituha should take an estate for life in the said share or interest or in part thereof, with remainder to the children of the said Arapata Hakiwai; and that by some error, mistake, or omission the said order of the Native Land Court purports to vest in the said Horiana Taituha an estate of inheritance in the said share or interest:

Now, therefore, I, the undersigned, Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, in exercise of the powers in that behalf conferred on me by the said section 39 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and for the purpose of rectifying the said error, mistake, or omission, do hereby order that the said order made the 26th day of September, 1883, be amended by inserting therein the words following, that is to say:

“The interest of the said Horiana Taituha in the said share or interest is an estate for her own life, with remainder to the children of the said Arapata Hakiwai.”

And I hereby give leave to any person interested to appeal against this decision, by notice of appeal to be lodged with the Registrar of the Native Land Court at Wellington, on or before the 21st day of July, 1906.
