ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this twenty-

Present :

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

WHEREAS by section four hundred and twenty-five
of the Native Land Act, 1909, it is enacted that—

1. The Governor may by Order in Council, in any case
   in which he thinks it expedient so to do, consent to the
   confirmation of any alienation, or to the confirmation of
   any resolution of assembled owners, or to any purchase by
   the Native Land Purchase Board, or to any exchange of
   Native land, notwithstanding the fact that any Native
   may thereby become landless within the meaning of this
   Act; and thereupon the said confirmation, purchase, or
   exchange may take place and shall have effect in the same
   manner as if that Native retained Native freehold land
   sufficient for his adequate maintenance :

2. No such consent shall be given except on the recom-
   mendation of the Native Land Court or the Maori Land
   Board of the district in which the land is situated :

3. No such consent shall be given unless the Governor
   is satisfied that the Native is able to maintain himself
   by his own means or labour, and that the transaction con-
   sented to is not contrary to the public interest :

And whereas, to enable confirmation of a sale of Otoro-
hanga 1B Section 1 Block by Kiti Paiaka, the Waikato-
Maniapoto District Maori Land Board recommends that
such consent shall be given : And whereas it is expedient
so to do :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council thereof, doth hereby
consent to the confirmation of the aforesaid sale, notwith-
standing the fact that the Natives may thereby become
landless within the meaning of the said Act. And it is
hereby declared that this Order in Council is made under
the provisions in that behalf of the Native Land Act,
1909, and shall operate accordingly as a consent of the
Governor in Council to the proceedings hereby authorized.
