THE HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY PRESIDING 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 recommendation of the Native Land Court or of 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 said Native is able to maintain himself by his own means or labour, and that the transaction consented to is not contrary to the public interest:

And whereas to enable confirmation of a sale by the owners of Parish of Horotiu No. 16A (Gordon), 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, notwithstanding 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.
