Also I hereby pray thai -Hi Order in Council may be granted, and that tin. , orders of the 7th January, 1879, may be re-established, and that the second or third orders lie cancelled, and that the partitions be amended so that the Registrar may be empowered (or enabled) to validate my succession orders for the said portions which were dealt with by Judge RawßOn at Otaki on the 15th December, 190 K. Herewith is a copy of the notes of explanation of a search by the Clerk, (!. A. Barman, of the period when Kongokaneke was first put into [the lands | and then left out at the subsequent insertion [of names]. The original explanatory notes of the search which was made is with the Registrar of the Native Land Court. 1 showed the search to Judge Rawson at the sitting of the Native Land Court at Weraroa on the 23rd day of March last, and also showed him the words of the Registrar in reference to the orders made by him [Judge Rawson] on the 15th December, to effect that he would be unable to make them valid because there were other orders [tuarud] made, therefore the right thing [to do] was to apply for an Order in Council cancelling the second orders [tuarua] and amending the partitions, and he [Judge Rawson] was of the same [opinion] when he said the explanatory notes of the search—viz., that an Order in Council should be applied for. And I also pray that the matter may be considered quickly-—that is, if you are liberty [to do so], so that the business could be sent on for Kahiti for the sitting of the Native Land Court to be held in Wellington. Sufficient. From Te Hikianca Kkki;ama. Agent: Hono Kakauiti. Application granted. Order in Council issued, dated the 12th day of October, 1909.
