WHEREAS by section twenty-five of the Native Land Act, 1909, it is enacted that, in addition to the jurisdiction elsewhere in the said Act conferred upon the Native Land Court, the Governor-General may, by Order in Council, confer upon the Court, as effectually as if the same were conferred by the said Act, jurisdiction in any matter or question affecting the rights of Natives in any real or personal property, and thereupon the Court shall have full jurisdiction and power to determine that matter or question according to law:

And whereas the Tairawhiti Native Land Court has recommended that jurisdiction be conferred on the Native Land Court pursuant to the said section twenty-five for the purpose of ascertaining the ownership of certain sheep:

And whereas it is expedient to confer such jurisdiction accordingly:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by section twenty-five of the Native Land Act, 1909, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby confer upon the Native Land Court jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter following, that is to say:—

To ascertain and determine whether a flock of sheep originally acquired by the Natives about the year 1909 for the purpose of depasturing upon the Marangairoa 1A Block in the Tairawhiti Native Land Court District, and which flock of sheep, or the increase or remnant thereof, is now alleged to be depasturing on the Marangairoa 1A 6 Block, and to bear the registered earmark of one Karikapa Piri, were when so acquired intended to be held by the nominal owner or owners in trust for Natives other than the nominal purchaser or owner thereof, and to determine who (if any) are the persons entitled beneficially to the sheep so held in trust; with power, if necessary, to take accounts as between the nominal owners and the beneficiaries so found or any of them, and to make such order or orders as the Court hearing the matter may in its discretion think necessary or expedient.
