Greetings Spades.
From what I read into the file heading I wondered if it was legal language pertaining to to a Court Judgment re committal, and who should be taking charge of any personal effects of consequence. Eg Public Trustee.
But from the time lines supplied in the forum and by PM I, wondered about what interest H. ALDER may have had in the Koheroa, Mercer address, just some 65 km from the Auckland CBD. Occupation there would not presumably have been for very long. Unless funds were invested upon arrival in the country.

PS Re #26. By PM I was one of the first to explain to the OP how to access records at either Wellington or Auckland. Short for time I skip read and stuffed up my offer for any Auckland look ups and it is known that that offer still stands, but I expect February will be the first time I can attend in person. When in attendance, if not accessed by others beforehand, I will seek Archives assistance to locate any records available for public viewing, that have not been individually catalogued that MAY pertain to this enquirey. There is also potential for pre committal general hospital registrations that may help with timelines. [Perhaps my on line request for assistance could have been better worded "look-up" instead of "look see".
