THE LAND TITLES PROTECTION ACT, 1908 (APPLICATIONS FOR THE ISSUE OF ORDERS IN COUNCIL UNDER).

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly in compliance with Section 4 of the Land Titles Protection Act, 1908.

The Land Titles Protection Act, 1908. Application for the issue of an Order in Council. In the matter of Hutt, Section 19, and Reinvestigation of Title. Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt, Wellington, 22nd September, 1909. The Under-Secretary, Native Department, Wellington. I hereby apply for an Order in Council authorising the Native Land Court to reinvestigate the title to Hutt, Section 19, on the grounds that a number of the original owners were left out of the orders on partition and a number of fresh names were inserted therein. In a deed dated the 30th day of August, 1847, the title to the block was vested in Horopapera Whakaruru and twenty-four others, but when the partition was made only three of these original.owners were included as owners and several new names were inserted in the partition orders. It was only the other day that I was able to find the deed of the 30th August, 1847, or I should have applied before to have the title reopened. I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, taku Mohi x Karena tohu (By his agent, Edward Buckle, 18 Grey Street, Wellington). Witness to mark—E. R. Broughton, Clerk N.L. Court, Wellington. 10/9/9. Application lapsed owing to Land Titles Protection Act, 1908, being repealed by Native Land Act, 1909.
