Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section five of “The Native Reserves Act Amendment Act, 1895” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is enacted that if any question arises whether any land is vested in the Public Trustee under “The Native Reserves Act, 1882,” the Governor may, by Order in Council, declare that such land is so vested:

And whereas the Native Land Court has duly issued a certificate of title for the land set out in the Schedule hereto, which bears on it a note that the land is vested in the Public Trustee: And whereas, on the Public Trustee making application to the District Land Registrar at Napier for the issue of a certificate of title in respect of the said land under the Land Transfer Acts, the Registrar expresses his opinion that the wording of the said vesting is insufficient in law to justify him in complying with the said application: And whereas such opinion, if well founded, is on a technical point only: And whereas it is expedient to make such declaration as aforesaid in respect of the land set out in the Schedule hereto:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the said Act, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby declare that the land set out in the Schedule hereto is vested in the Public Trustee under and subject to the provisions of “The Native Reserves Act, 1882,” and any Acts read or incorporated therewith.
