APPENDIX B. SCHEDULE SHOWING THE DEVOLUTION OF THE OWNERSHIP OF INTERESTS IN ORAKEI No. 1 RESERVE. Explanation. # The purpose of the schedule is to show the devolution of the ownership of the interests in Orakei No. 1 Reserve as defined in the partition order made by the Native Land Court 011 the 10th January, 1898. The schedule comprises two divisions. 111 the first division are set forth the names of the twenty-one owners in the order in which they appear in the partition order and their shares, totalling thirteen. In the second division the manner in which those interests were affected chronologically by grants of succession, by sales to the Crown, by exchange for Crown interests, and by processes of partition, are traced. Where a succession order has been made in respect of any interest, the date of the grant of succession by the Native Land Court is given, and the shares taken under the order, in the instances where more than one successor has been appointed, are shown immediately following the names of the successors so appointed. Where any interest has been sold to the Crown, the date of the sale (being the date of the execution by the Native of the memorandum of transfer) is given, together with the consideration therefor (not including any amount paid for improvements), and, for record purposes, a reference to the appropriate transfer. In the majority of cases, following the note of the amount of consideration, the words " (part £..) " appear. This indicates that an interest or interests in addition to that under notice passed to the Crown by the transfer mentioned, the total consideration for such interests being the amount shown in the brackets. The consideration for the particular interest is a calculated figure only. Generally, it has been possible where a vendor was possessed of more than one interest, as such, and disposed of those interests to the Crown, definitely to fix the dates upon which, and the transfers under which, the interests passed to the Crown. In some instances, however, shares were disposed of in such a manner that it has been necessary arbitrarily to determine their passing to the Crown. In the cases where the transfers are subject to collateral and subsequent modifying agreements the interests have been treated as having passed to the Crown under the transfer. In respect of the interests of Hikiera Taierua, Mereana lioera, Koria Watene, Wairaapuna Paora, Taoho Watene, and Tatairangi Watene, succession orders were made by the Native Land Court subsequently to the time when these persons had effected sales to the Crown. For the purposes of the summary, a number has been allotted to every interest following its final location, the interests standing in the name of one person bearing an identical number, except where that person appears both as a seller and as a non-seller. The summary co-ordinates and co-relates the details appearing in the schedule and contains certain other information, more particularly with regard to the Crown's purchases. The interests acquired by the Crown are firstly gathered up. The individual shares as appearing in the schedule are set out against the name of the person seised of them, the sequence of persons being fixed by the numbering system mentioned in the last paragraph. The totals of the individual shares are given, shares acquired by purchase and those acquired by exchange being put in separate columns. The consideration for each interest in land acquired, the price paid for improvements, and the total amounts paid to the vendors appear in the three succeeding columns. 111 the next two columns the areas representing the shares acquired by purchase and by exchange are detailed, and the last column shows the subdivision of the Orakei No. 1 Reserve in which the interest was finally located. The interests of the six persons mentioned above who sold to the Crown, but in respect of whose interests succession was subsequently granted by the Court, have been included amongst those of the successors. The purchase-money paid for the interests, however, is not included in the amounts set opposite the names of the persons who acquired the interests by succession. Nor does the area shown as representing the share acquired embrace the interests in question. These are accounted for with a system of cross-notation in the summary under an appropriate heading, the consideration therefor and the representative area, but not the shares, being brought into the relative total columns. The second division of the summary details the interests of non-selling Natives. The third, in addition to showing totals of figures elsewhere set forth, gives the areas awarded to the Crown and to the Natives. A balance is struck with the total of the shares as given in the partition order and the area representing those shares.
