“may be leased for any term not exceeding twenty-one years, but shall be otherwise inalienable except with the consent of the Governor”:

And whereas, therefore, doubt has arisen as to the exact nature of the restriction intended to be imposed against the alienation of the said land:

And whereas section two of “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1902,” provides, inter alia, that in the case of Native land the validity of any order of the Native Land Court which has subsisted for not less than ten years prior to the passing of that Act shall not be called in question in any Court unless with the consent of the Governor in Council first had and obtained:

And whereas after due inquiry, as provided by the said section two, the Governor in Council 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 pursuance and exercise of all powers and authorities in that behalf vested in him by “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1902,” and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby consent to the validity of the said title being called in question by the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, under the powers vested in him by law as such Chief Judge, with power to determine what are the restrictions that have been placed upon the said land, and to make order accordingly.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
