And whereas the said Wiremu Pere, Hetekia Pere, Monaroa Pere, and Arapera Pere, being the survivors of the original beneficiaries, have applied, in writing signed by them, to His Excellency the Governor to remove the said Walter George Foster from his office as the trustee for their said lands, and to appoint HENRY CHEETHAM JACKSON, of Gisborne aforesaid, gentleman, in his place and stead as a fresh trustee, upon terms and conditions agreed upon between the said survivors and the said Henry Cheetham Jackson in writing signed before a Judge of the Native Land Court:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by “The Maori Land Claims Adjustment and Laws Amendment Act, 1906,” and of all other powers and authorities him thereunto enabling, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby remove the said Walter George Foster, the present trustee for the said Natives, from his office as such trustee as aforesaid, and doth appoint in his place and stead the said Henry Cheetham Jackson as trustee in respect of the lands named in the underwritten Schedule, being a fit and proper person to hold the said lands of the said Natives upon the terms so agreed upon as aforesaid; subject, nevertheless, to all mortgages, liens, contracts, and other liabilities affecting such lands in the hands of the said Walter George Foster, the former trustee.
