Whereas by orders of the Native Land Court made on the twenty-second Preamble. day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, the block of land known as the Waikouaiti Reserve, situate in the Provincial District of Otago, and containing by admeasurement two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight acres, more or less, was divided into four parts, and each part awarded to certain Native owners: And whereas it has, since the making of such orders, been found that the partition then made would, if completed, prejudicially affect the interests of the persons entitled thereto: And whereas on the twenty-sixth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, the said Court, upon the application of certain Native owners, inquired into the said matter, and made a partition of the said land, particulars whereof are contained in the Schedule hereto: And whereas doubts have arisen as to the validity of the orders last made as aforesaid, and it is expedient that such doubts should be removed and the said last-mentioned orders be validated:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
| 1. | The Short Title of this Act is "The Waikouaiti Reserves Short Title. Act, 1892." |
| 2. | The orders of the Native Land Court made on the twenty-second Declaring orders void, and validting others. day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, are hereby declared to be void and of no effect; and the said orders mentioned in the Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be good and valid orders, as if the Court had full jurisdiction to make the same, and effect may be given thereto in the same manner as if they had been in all respects duly made in accordance with the provisions of "The Native Land Court Act, 1886," on that behalf. |
