Notice under “The Native Land (Validation of Titles) Act, 1893.”

IN THE VALIDATION COURT, WELLINGTON DISTRICT.

In the matter of “The Native Land (Validation of Titles) Act, 1893”; and in the matter of a certain transfer from Waitaoro Raniera and others to Mary Anne Eglinton.

TAKE notice that Mr. Elliot, of counsel for Mary Anne Eglinton, of Wellington, widow, will move the Validation Court at the sitting of the Court to be held at the Native Land Court, Wellington, on the 20th day of March, 1908, at 10.30 o’clock in the forenoon, or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, for an order validating the transfer hereinbefore mentioned to the said Mary Anne Eglinton of certain land hereinafter described, and directing the District Land Registrar to register the said memorandum of transfer, upon the following grounds:—

1. That Waitaoro Raniera, of Porirua, near the City of Wellington, the said Waitaoro Raniera (as trustee for Rangirere Kapo and Wekipiri Kapo), Iraia Raniera, of Pukearuhe, in the Provincial District of Taranaki, Piripi Ngakuri, of Parihaka, in the Provincial District of Taranaki aforesaid, Riripeti Iraia and Hine te Iri, both of Pukearuhe aforesaid, and Mere Ngakere, of Whangarae, in the Provincial District of Nelson, all aboriginal Natives of New Zealand, were at the time of the alienation herein referred to, and still are, registered as the proprietors of an estate in fee-simple in all that piece of land situated in the Provincial District of Wellington known as Hinakitaka Block, containing 200 acres, more or less, being the whole of the land comprised in certificate of title, Vol. 105, folio 240.

2. That, by a certain memorandum of transfer bearing date the 7th day of February, 1898, the said Native proprietors transferred their estate and interest in the said Hinakitaka Block, for the price of £200, to the said Mary Anne Eglinton, wife of Henry Eglinton, of the Lower Hutt, farmer.

3. That the said memorandum of transfer and the alienation thereby affected were confirmed by the Native Land Court sitting at Otaki on the 24th day of July, 1898, and all the purchase-money was duly paid to the Native owners.

4. That at the time the said alienation was confirmed the said land was subject to the restriction imposed by section 117 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” and the District Land Registrar has refused to register the aforesaid memorandum of transfer, on the ground that the said restriction should first have been removed, and the said Mary Anne Eglinton has been unable to obtain a title owing to a purely technical defect in the proceedings.

5. That the persons named in paragraph 1 hereof are the persons whose estates and interests are desired to be bound by the decree of the Court to be made herein, and are the persons upon whom the applicant desires that copies of this application should be served.

Dated this 6th day of February, 1908.

MARY ANNE EGLINTON
(By her solicitors and agents, FIELD, LUCKIE, AND TOOGOOD, Whose address for service is 29 Featherston Street, Wellington).

The Registrar, Validation Court Wellington.
