Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the

WHEREAS Patumoana and others, aboriginal Natives,
are desirous of granting, and the Egmont Box

timber rights in respect of the piece or parcel of land
particularized and set out in the Schedule hereto: And
whereas the said company is prevented by Part XII of
the Native Land Act, 1909, from obtaining the said grant

And whereas the said company has erected a tramway
on and over the adjoining land, and proposes to erect a
tramway over the land particularized and set out in the
Schedule hereto for the carriage of timber standing and
being thereon: And whereas the proximity of the said
tramway has created a marketable value for the said
timber which would not otherwise obtain: And whereas
His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New
Zealand deems it expedient in the public interest that
the acquisition of the said grant of timber rights in respect
of the said land by the said company from the said Patu-
moana and others should be authorized in manner pro-
vided by section two hundred and three of the Native
Land Act, 1909:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
