ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this thirty-first day of March, 1909.

Present:

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

WHEREAS by an order of the Native Land Court made the twelfth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, purporting to determine the successor to the share or interest of Ria Tutereiao in the block of land known as Ngatirahiri Nos. 6 and 14, Reia Porutu, otherwise known as Ruhia Porutu, was declared to be the successor to the said share or interest:

And whereas it has been alleged that the said order was made through an error, mistake, or omission within the meaning of section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894”:

And whereas an application has been made to His Excellency the Governor in Council to consent to the making of an application to the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, in pursuance of the provisions of section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” to amend the said order for the purpose of rectifying the said alleged error, mistake, or omission:

And whereas the Governor in Council, after due inquiry made, is satisfied that a prima facie case has been established, and that it would be inexpedient to dispose of it by remedial legislation, or by any other procedure which would obviate litigation:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of all powers and authorities in that behalf vested in him by “The Land Titles Protection Act, 1908,” or otherwise howsoever, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby consent to the making of an application to the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court, in pursuance of the provisions of the said section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” for the purpose of rectifying the said alleged error, mistake, or omission, and that the said order of the said Court, and any subsequent orders or instruments of title issued pursuant thereto, may be subject to an order of the Chief Judge under the said section thirty-nine of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894.”
