An Act to empower Hori Kerei Taiaroa, an aboriginal Native of the Colony of New Zealand, to alienate any Lands in the said Colony belonging to him alone, unrestricted by the Terms of any Act or Acts in force in New Zealand relating to Natives or Native Lands.
Preamble.
WHEREAS Hori Kerei Taiaroa, an aboriginal Native of New Zealand, is the sole owner of certain lands in New Zealand, portions of which were granted to him by the Crown under the provisions of Acts of the General Assembly of New Zealand, and other portions of which have been acquired by the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa by purchase and otherwise from aboriginal Natives of New Zealand and others: And whereas the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa may hereafter become the sole owner of other lands by Crown grant or purchase: And whereas it is expedient that the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa should be empowered to alienate the said lands, unrestricted by the terms of any Act or Acts now in force in New Zealand relating to Natives or Native lands, and in the same manner and to the same extent as European-born subjects of Her Majesty may alienate their lands in New Zealand:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
1 Short Title.
The Short Title of this Act is “The Taiaroa Land Act, 1883.”
2 Hori Kerei Taiaroa may deal with his lands unrestricted.
It shall be lawful for the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa to alienate by sale, lease, mortgage, or otherwise howsoever, in the same manner and to the same extent as European-born subjects of Her Majesty may alienate lands held by them in New Zealand, any land in New Zealand of which he is now or may at any time hereafter be the sole owner, unrestricted, and notwithstanding that his title to such land or any part thereof may have been acquired or derived by or through a grant or grants from the Crown, issued under any Act or Acts now or heretofore in force in New Zealand relating to aboriginal Natives of New Zealand, or Native lands in New Zealand, and notwithstanding any of the provisions of any such Act or Acts to the contrary.
3 Native Land Acts, not to apply to Hori Kerei Taiaroa’s lands.
The provisions of any Act or Acts now or heretofore in force, or hereafter to be in force, in New Zealand relating to aboriginal Natives of New Zealand and Native lands in New Zealand shall not extend or apply to any land as aforesaid in New Zealand of which the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa is now or may at any time hereafter become the sole owner.
4 Hori Kerei Taiaroa may apply to bring his land under Land Transfer Acts.
It shall be lawful for the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa to apply in writing to any District Land Registrar appointed under the Land Transfer Acts in force in New Zealand in whose district any of the said lands may be to bring any of such lands under the provisions of the said Acts.
5 Form of application.
Such application shall be in the form prescribed by and shall be subject to the provisions of the said Land Transfer Acts in force in New Zealand, so far as the same are applicable to any such application as aforesaid.
6 Certificate of title to issue.
Upon the said District Land Registrar being satisfied that the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa is the sole owner of the land mentioned in any such application, the said District Land Registrar shall thereupon issue to the said Hori Kerei Taiaroa a certificate or certificates of title under the said Land Transfer Acts, subject to the incumbrances, if any, affecting such lands.
