At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirteenth day of June, 1910.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GOVERNMENT IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Native Land Act, 1909, it is enacted that the Governor may from time to time, by Order in Council, make regulations for the purposes specified in the said Act: Now, therefore, His Excellency the Administrator of the Government of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the regulations following.

REGULATIONS.

  1. In these regulations, unless a contrary intention appears, the expressions following have the meanings attached thereto:—

“‘The Act’” means the Native Land Act, 1909 :

“‘Board’” means the Maori Land Board of the district to which the particular matter in the context refers:

“‘District’” means a Maori land district constituted under the Act:

“‘President’” means the President of a Maori Land Board:

“‘Under-Secretary’” means the Under-Secretary for Native Affairs.

All other terms used in these regulations have the same signification as when used in the Act, unless a contrary intention appears.

  1. In respect of Native land situated in the South Island or in any place not forming part of a Maori land district, these regulations, so far as applicable, shall be construed as if they referred to the Native Land Court instead of the Board.

OFFICE AND OFFICE HOURS.

  1. Each Board shall have an office which shall, except on Sundays and public holidays, be open for public business from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., but on Saturdays shall be closed at 12.30 p.m.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD.

  1. The Board shall meet for the despatch of business at such times and places as the President may appoint. Any such meeting may be adjourned from time to time and from place to place by resolution of the Board.

  2. Meetings for the purpose of dealing with applications shall be notified in the Gazette and Kahiti.

APPLICATIONS.

  1. All applications to the Board shall be in writing, signed by the applicant or his solicitor, and shall be lodged at the office of the Board, together with the prescribed fee, at least seventeen clear days before the date on which it is proposed that the Board shall deal with the same.

  2. At least ten days’ notice of the intention of the Board to deal with any application shall be inserted in the Gazette and Kahiti, and it shall not be lawful for the Board to deal with any application until after the expiry of such ten days.

  3. In the course of any proceedings on an application, the Board may, without further application, and upon such terms as to notice to the parties and otherwise as it thinks fit, proceed to deal with any other matter arising either directly or incidentally out of the same proceedings.

  4. The Board may in its discretion deal with the subject-matter of any application in part or parts, and any application may be dismissed or (with the leave of the Board) extended, amended, or withdrawn wholly or in part.
