thereof, were, on the investigation of the titles thereto,
intended by the Native Land Court, or by the nominal
owner or owners of such lands, to be held by such nominal
owner or owners in trust for Natives not named in the titles,
and to determine who are the several Natives (if any) entitled
beneficially to such lands, and to order the inclusion of such
Natives in the titles, either together with or in lieu of the
nominal owners or any of them, and for the purpose afore-
said to order the cancellation or amendment of any existing
instruments of title, and the issue of such new Crown grants
or other instruments of title as may be necessary, and
generally to exercise in respect of the said lands all the
jurisdiction and powers conferred on the Native Land
Court by subsection ten of section fourteen of “The Native
Land Court Act, 1894.”

And it is hereby declared that this Order is made under
the provisions in that behalf of “The Native Land Court
Act, 1894,” and of “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1902,”

of the Governor in Council to the proceedings hereby
