Regulations under the Widows’, Pensions Act, 1911.

ISLINGTON, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Christchurch, this
twentieth day of November, 1911.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, BART.,
PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

PURSUANT to and in exercise of the powers in this
behalf conferred upon him by the Widows’ Pensions
Act, 1911 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”),
His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New
Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby, for
the purposes of the said Act, make the following regula-
tions, that is to say :—

REGULATIONS.

INTERPRETATION.

1. In these regulations—
   “Magistrate” means a Stipendiary Magistrate;
   “Income-year” means the year ending one month
   prior to the commencement of any pension-year.

ORIGINAL PENSION-CLAIMS.

2. The original pension-claim shall be in the form
   numbered 1 in the Schedule hereto, and shall be issued
   only to or on behalf of a bona fide applicant for the
   pension. The claim shall be delivered to the Registrar
   of the district in which the applicant resides, and such
   date of delivery, which shall be plainly stamped on the
   claim, shall be deemed to be the date of the making of
   the claim.

3. Where a pension-claim is signed by a Maori ap-
   plicant, or by any applicant who is the owner of Native
   land, there shall be annexed a statement setting forth
   particulars of any customary rights or interest held in
   any block of land, whether under defined legal title or
   Native custom, and such statement shall be deemed to be
   part of the pension-claim to which it is expressed to refer,
   and there shall be indorsed thereon a certificate by a
   Government officer, to be given without fee, that the con-
   tents thereof were fully explained to and appeared to
   be fully understood by the applicant.

4. Each Registrar shall keep a Claim Register in which
   all claims delivered to him shall be recorded and num-
   bered consecutively in the order in which they are entered,
   so that no two entries shall bear the same number.

5. The Registrar, after recording a claim and noting
   thereon its registered claim-number, shall forthwith pro-
   ceed to verify the statements of the applicant by the
   forms provided for the purpose, and while awaiting re-
   plies to his inquiries he shall forward the claim to the
   Commissioner for the Registrar-General’s certificate as to
   widowhood and the parentage and age of the children
   under the age of fourteen referred to therein, and for
   such particulars as to ownership of property as are obtain-
   able from the various Departments of State.

6. On return of the claim from the Commissioner it shall
   be forwarded by the Registrar, with replies to all in-
   quiries made, to the Magistrate exercising jurisdiction in
   the district, who shall on a date fixed for the investigation
   thereof proceed in open Court, or, in his discretion, in
   chambers, to ascertain whether the applicant is entitled to
   a pension.

7. In connection with the investigation of pension-claims
   the following provisions shall apply :—
   (a.) If in the course of investigation evidence is re-
   quired on any specific matter, the Commissioner,
