USER GUIDE

The Hauraki Tribal Lands Supporting Papers, Parts r to 28 are over 14,000 pages of documentation relevant to The Hauraki Treaty Claims, and in particular the work of David Alexander who has researched the history of approximately 700 blocks of Maori land. These were the original Maori land blocks that were alienated mainly to the Crown and in most cases were subsequently sub-divided many times to form the present day pattern of land ownership in Hauraki.

Each document has been given its own unique identifier and has been categorised according to document type and the block of land or subject it relates to.

There are 23 different types of documents which have been labelled Section A through to Section W. These comprise deeds, files, Maori Land Court Minute Book records, survey plans, Certificates of Title, Land Registry Documents, Turton's Publications, Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives, Parliamentary Debates and Gazette Notices.

A copy of the main index is included in each part. The main index is organised as follows:

IX.--CORMANDEL DISTRICT.
No. 1.

The Cater Conxissiconut to Mr. Faun. Ram, Auckland. Kapattga.—Respecting purchase of land from Natires. -

Land Commissioner's Office,

Bra,— • -Auckland, 28th January, 1857.

With reference to your letters of December 8rd and January 28rd expressing a wish to purchase from the Natives of Cormandel, through the General Government, a small piece of land estimated at Five acres situated on the Kapanga Creek.

I have the honor to inform you that if the aboriginal owners of the land in question are willing to dispose of it in conjunction with an adjacent •tract of country of considerable extent, it is quite competent for the General Government to extinguish the Native Title to it, but that so soon as it becomes Crown Land the favour of disposing of it is vested' in the Provincial Government.

In the present state of the law, therefore, it is impossible for the General Government to sanction the purchase in the manner proposed by you. I have, &c.,

DONALD McLean,

Mr. F. Ring, Auckland. Chief Commissioner.

I have the honor to report, for your Excellency's information, the result of my late visit to the Thames and Cormandel Harbour Districts.

After leaving Auckland, I proceeded to the Thames, where I had a conference with the Ngatipaoa tribes respecting the purchase of the Fiske district. The Ngatipooa chiefs followed me in their canoes to Pukorokoro a small river to the west of the Piake), where I found Mr. Drummond Hay and a party of Natives. I held a meeting with the whole of the claimants, who agreed to proceed with Mr. Hay to point out the boundaries of their land sad settle their conflicting claims and differences respecting such portions as were claimed by other tribes. This being completed, Mr. Hay was instructed (a copy of which is herewith enclosed) to furnish a plan of the district about to be ceded—estimated at about 140,000 acres—and a date was to be fixed ou which all the claimants should be assembled at Auckland to effect a final settlement of that long-pending question.
From Pukorokoro I proceeded up the Thames in the expectation of meeting Tarsi*, who had left there some days previously; consequently I have not been able to see him in reference to the

' purchase of some land he offered to the Government in the Coromandel district near Cape Colville.

8. From the Thames I came back to Waiheke for the Chief Puhate, who has offered to give up a space of land containing about Four or five square miles for the purpose of gold digging, which offer may be availed of by the Government, if necessary, although I conceive it would be more prudent to discourage the search for gold until negotiations connected with the purchase arc more matured.

There is, at present, a general indisposition on the part of the Natives to alienate their lands at Coromandel Harbour ; and with the exception of the unsold portions at Mercury Island and a few small blocks on the main, there is nothing else open for immediate purchase in that district. These places they offer should be purchased as a means efleading to more extensive sales; but this mast be done with caution, for if the Natives find au eagerness on the part of the Government to acquire their land, the opposition of the Natives to sell will incresie in the same proportion as the eagerness of the Government to purchase is manifested. As far as I can ascertain, it is not so much a question of price that will weigh with them in this matter as a national feeling which prevails among many of the New Zealand tribes by which they enter intro leagues and confederations against the sale of their country. Moreover, at Coromandel they are apprehensive that the discovery of gold in any quantity would lead to such an influx of disorderly Europeans as might annihilate or exterminate them.

Under all the circumstances, I did not deem it prudent to press negotiations during my stay, considering it more advisable to acquire information and disebuso the Natives of some of the [care they entertained, and to lead them to a more favourable consideration of the question.

In furthering this object, the Goverumeat would be very much aided by securing the services of Mr. Preece, who has been resident in the Coromandel 'as a missionary for the last :nonty-six years, having lived the greater port.• n of the time in the Thames District. Mr. Preece is now retired from the mission service. Ho is thoroughly acquainted with all the tribes, and knows the extent and general position of their claims. I would, therefore, recommend that ho should be employed to carry on preliminary negotiations for such lauds in the Coromandel District, where he is residing, as the Natives may from time to time be disposed to alienate, and that, in the meantime, until the work accumulates, ho should receive pay at the rate of £100 per annum.

I have, &e.,

18th May, 1857.

I have' had a consultation v4th Takerus, Hoora, Te Poihipi, and other chiefs at Tanpo, respecting a settlement of their Piako clu'ons, and have advised that they should point out to you the external boundaries of theft claim, so as, to, prevent any future questions or encroachments by the Ngatipaoa or other tribes on the Ngstipaea boundary ; when the external boundaries are clearly marked off, it does not appear to me that it will be necessary to enter upon a subdivision of their own internal tribal claims, as this can be arrived at with sufficient accuracy for all the purposes of this Department without incurring the loss of time, delay, and expense of such a subdivision.

When you have completed this duty, you ;rill furnis:. • map of the several large blocks you survey, and of such reserves, if any, beyond • swampy place , which the late chief Hauaurn wished to retain for eel fishing.

I intended to go on to Piako to see how the work on which you are employed was progressing, but find that it is needless now for me to do so, as you have not yet reached that place.

The Government feel anxious that this long pending question should be brought to a speedy and satisfactory termination, as otherwise the time and money expended upon it will amount to more than the land is worth after its acquisition.

I shall be in the vicinity of the Thames and Coromandel Harbour for some weeks, if you have any reference to make to me respecting the work on which you are engaged.

Inakahors.—Respecting Eruera and Pita's Claims to Land.

Sm,— Stapleton, Coromandel, October 6th, 1657.

1. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letters, severally dated September 7th, 11th, and September 15th, with their enclosures.

2. I am not able to report any particulars about Ernera's land until I have seen him, but in the meantime 'I would beg leave to suggest that both his and all other land uepurehased between Tikora's Point at the southern head of the Harbour and the Native residence at the Poke be purchased, reserving for the Natives all the land between the Poke and the Tiki.

8. In your letter of September 11th you state that von had agreed with Pita for all the uupurchased and disputed laud from Downing's to Kspangs, and referred him to me for final arrangements. When Pita returned, his party refused to confirm his arrangements, and demanded Ono hundred pounds (2100). When your letter of. September 16th mum to hand with Mr. Heephy's Memorandum, I found that there were other pieces of unpurchaded land besides those agreed for by you, situated on the Island of Whangauni at the north-western side of the Harbour. I therefore lost no time in endeavouring to arrange for the final settlement of all their clainia both on the Island and on the main, from the entrance of the Harbour to the &pangs Creek, which they are now willing to do for the sum of £100. Should these terms be accepted by the Goverement I think that wo shall soon have more land offered for sale. Should those two purchases be mad: to which I have referred. we shall then he in possession of all the coast e f the harbours except the two Native reserves ; ,the inland portions could be procured with less difficulty.

With respect to Karaitiana's land, I am not able to come to any definite arrangement, because Mr. Heaphy has not stated what portion of the ninety acres belongs to Karaitiana, uud what portion of it is in Wilson's claim. Karaitiana is quite willing to sell, and as ho is going to Auckland it may, perhaps, bo arranged whilst ho is there. The piece of ninety acres beyond Calloway's chum I will attend to as soon as it is practicable to do so.
In reference to Motutapere, I beg to suggest that it be made a Native reserve for the following reasons :—first, because the purchase is not a good one, it never having been completed, only a few articles wore given as a deposit, the greater number mentioned were not given, nor was the principal owner ever consulted •, secondly, because the island itself is not of any imp-anise except for Natives ; thirdly, because it is the only island that remains in Native posbession of that tribe, and is the only place they will have to land when fishing or when at sea, and, therefore, of great importance to them.

Waitatanunea is, I believe, a good purchase, awl was sold by Webster or party to a man named Tames Demhy, who now resides in Freeman's Bay. I was not awa-e that it had reverted to Government. Webster's purchase at Wainu. mentioned by Mr. Heaphy, was never, proved. 1 was in Court when it was dismissed by Commissioner Richmond : the land had not been purchased, only the timber. The only valid purchase up the Waiau is that claimed by W.33. Moores, that, as a gold field, is, I believe, of great value. The party that are at work on the land are finding gold to a large extent. I believe that Morris would transfer his claim to Governmout for a trifling compensation. They would then purchase when offered the surrounding land, which Would make au available gvld field. I am convinced from the increasing quantity of gold found that before long gold will be found in large masses, therefore no expense should. be snared at this time in procuring laud.

I am not aware to what purchases of Webetor's at Kennedy's Bay and Mercury Bay Mr. Reaphy refers. There were no purchases inado at Kennedy's Bay but one, made by Kennedy. who was afterwards killed. I am not as yet aware whether that purchase is a good ono or not. I Sull make enquiry, and report on it as soon as I get the necessary information.
Tho only purchase made in Mercury Bay was made by Gordon Browne, who bar. long since been dead. I believe that it is both an extensive and %mid one, I don't knaw who is the present claimant to it. The only purchase that Webster made in that part was part of the Mercury Island. The Natives will be ready to point out the boundaries any time in November, if they should first receive a week's notice, they will then be ready to arrange for the complete sale of the island.

Big Mercury Island.-11especting offer of Land.

Chief Land Purchase Commissioner's Office,

Era,— Auckland, 6th October. 1857.

One of the principal claimants to a portion of the Big Mercury Island. a son of Tararoa's, has called at this office to dispose of the claims of a section of the Natives living at Mercury Bay to • that island, and ho expresses a wish that the laud should be surveyed without delay. It is important that this should bo done, and I have, therefore, to request your attention to it as roan as possible.

1 enclose a letter from the Natives on tine subject for your information, also a copy of a Deed of Bale from the Natives to Mr. William Webster, and a sketch of the island, exhibiting thti portions of the Different Natives who have claims to it. The aggregate estimate of the area of the island, as indi• cited on the margin of the said Deed, is, of course, greatly exaggerated.

If necessary, a surveyor will bo detached to accompany you to Mercury Island, but as the Natives appear desirous PI alienate time whole of it, and as they admit that a largo portion of it has already been sold, probably the necessity and expense °funding a surveyor might be obviated by year paying a visit to the island, and obtaining final surrender of the entire island, making such an equitable division afterwards of the pnrehaso money as the relative claims of each trib3 might entitle them to.

I am anxious to hear from you, at your earliest convenience, as to the steps you have taken to accomplish this duty.

The price can be decided when you have made all preliminary arrangements for obtaining the cession of the island from the Natives; and your report should indicate, as nearly as possible, the amount (.ir which it can be purchased.

You will be good enough to forward to this office a requisition for the amount of any contingent expeosel. yr.0 may be subjected to, such as the wages of Native attendants, &c., while engaged in the performance of this service.

One of the principal objects is be kept in view, in completing this purchase nt a moderate cost, is that of its bang likely to lead to other and more important purchases ou tho main land. . I have, &c.,

With regard to Kamitiana's land, and concurring with you in the importance of obtaining it, I have paid yesterday a sum of Fifty pounds (t50) on account of all claims whatever to Tabitoto Bay, and a further instalment of £50. pending final arrangements on account of his claims to Alitiahn.

Twit island lies in the gulf of the Thames, outside, and about half a mile to •the N.NV. of the North Head of Coromandel Harbour. II is steep, and closely 'coverer "with scrub, and is not adapted for European settlement. It forms a convemeut haven for coasters and canoes, and perhaps might be adapted for a small fishing station. It is not improbable that at some future period a light-station may be required on it. I do not know of any indication of metals ever having been found upon the Island.

Motu Tonere was purchased from the Natives whose names are Arakuri, To Aumarcro, To Tawaroa, by Mr. William Webster, on the 10th November, 1838, and goods to the value of £41 were alleged to have been given.

The claim (305) came before Mr. Commissioner Godfrey on the 17th June, 1844, bat owing to the claimant having received the maximum quantity of land which it was legal for him to receive, under other claims, No grant" was recommended, and the claim withdrawn.

The Natives of the tribe to which the sellers belonged now assert that although the island Was intended to be sold, the full amount of payment was never made.

Am Kuri is HOW alive. Pita, the chief of the Patukirikiri tribe, is Cie grandson of Tawaroa, and the successor of To Aumarere.

The island is estimated to contain (40) Forty acres.

This land being nominally in the hands of the General GOINUUMetlt, at least being entirely at the disposal of the General Government, except that the Native tWe has not been quite extinguished, I submit that it should be reserved for the tribe who have still a part claim to it, and that a map of it should ho prepared, and handed to the Native Chief Pita Tanicaka, as trustee for the Patukirikiri tribe.

I am thankful to be able to state that I have completed the purchase of the whole island and all other claims of the Patnkirikiri tribe on the mainland as far as Kapanga Creek. I have paid them the One hundred and twenty pounds (2120), and by this opportunity 1 forward the deeds drawn out on the sheet of parchment which had the plan on it. To prevoait any mistake about the island in future, I have inserted its proper Native name in the deed, which is "To Poroporo." Whanganiii is neither the name of the island nor yet that of any place on the island, but that of the crock which is the boundary of Keven's land on the side next to the gold diggings.
With a view to prevent any mistake in future about the land now purchased, I will supply the Natives with a copy of the deed now sent with a plan on the back of the same.
In your letter of October 14th, No. 230, you state tkat Karaitiana had make a request that a small payment should be made to Paora To Pan for some old claim ; I fully agree with you that it would be a dangerous precedent to do so, but as Paora is a large laud holder, and is the owner of land that it is very desirable should be purchased for the Government because it is the richest gold land in ibis district, I would' therefore beg leave to snggest the propriety of making him a present from the Government, letting bim clearly understand that it was m no way to be considered as given for payment for Lis claim, as all right to that had been paid for long ago. He has hitherto been opposed to sell land to Government, his determination has bad its effect in •• preventin others from offering land for sale; he is, I believe, not very unwilling at the present time to sell. °I believe him to be a very upright. worthy man.
I herewith enclose a copy of a letter which I received from Maihi, a chief of Ngetiwhanaunga, offering some portions of land for sale. Ono portion is situated near to the present gold diggings at Waiau, and is, I believe, a most available portion as a gold field. Should that be purchased with the adjacent lands of Kitehi and W. B. Moore's, as recommended by me in my letter of October 6th, it would, at once give to this province a good and available gold field. All the principal claimants are desirous of selling, but this is a portion of the tribe who strenuously oppose the sale of any land ; the cause. of which is that the Government had never given them any payment for their part of the island of Motnnan. Their claim to compensation I consider to differ materially from that mentioned in the last paragraph. Peers did not pat forth any claim for many years after the land had been sold, but this party arrived in Auckland on the evening of the day that the island was paid for; on the next day they put in their claim, and they have constantly from that time continued to make a demand for payment, but nothing has as yet been given to them, although their claim extends over a large portion of the island. I would therefore beg leave to suggest that something be done in this case, and that a sum be given ns a bonus without in any way opening the question of their claim. I am quite sure that they would be satisfied with such an arrangement, and all difficulty would he removed.

O. In your letter of October 0th, you requested me to go to the Mercury Island as soon as possible to arrange the claims of the different parties. Rawiri and his party are perhaps in great haste to settle their 'claims before other parties put iu their claims also. I think that it will be better for all parties to be present at one time, I have therefore communicated with each party that has any claim, and am quite ready to go as soon as each party can accompany me there.

You say in your letter of October 14th, No. 231, that you wish me, now purchasing has commenced, to carry it on vigorously; consistent with due regard to the interests of the Natives and their various claims. This I am prepared to do as far as I can. I have clearly pointed out what I consider the great hindrance to the sale of land at present ; should these obstaelos be removed I am of opinion that plenty of laud will gradually be offered for sale ; I am also of opinion that it would be prudent not to make any advance of money to the Natives on lands until the claims of the parties • applying have been fully established.
In your letter of October 15th, No. 220, you enclosed a letter from Alurei requesting an advance of Fifty pounds (£50) ou some lands near to Cape Colville ; be has been with my and I find, after making due inquiries both from himself and others, that his right to the land proposed by him to sell is disputa by Natives of another tribe. I think that no advance should be made on that land until the contending parties have come to some mutual agreement.
I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated October 21st, No. 235, accompanying the maps. They came to hand atter I had written the above.

Stapleton. Coromandel, May 0, 1858.

1. Since my last communication I have made s, deposit of One huudred and twenty-six pounds 4126) on the Waian and Awa Kanto Block, which contains between two and three thousand (2,000 to 3,000) acres.

I am now only waiting for an answer to my last letter and the arrival of Mr. Heaphy, when I shall complete the purchase. I wish Mr. Heaphy to survey a piece of land in front of the above block, so that it may have some sot-frontage, because, should the purchase be made without the frontage, there would be a difficulty to got access to the land ; I have, therefore, delayed the purchase until the survey is completed.

Coal exists on the above block, and is found in the whole of the ranges.

2. The Matakitaki Block, which runs from the boundary of my estate to the top of the highest range, is not, finished surveying, but will bo completed when Mr. Ileaphy comes. I think that it will contain about 2,000 acres. .I shall snake the purchase as soon as I get the map.

8. For the Big

Bie• Mercury Island I have given to Itawiri a deposit of Forty pounds (1:40). I have

not as yet received the map with the acreage of each party's claim ; when I receive that I shall be • prepared to complete the purchase of the whole island.

The Wainuiototo Block is at present in dispute, and therefore must be delayed until settled amongst the Natives, which I hope will soon be done, I shall then take the earliest opportunity of making the, purchase.
I have not as yet received the map of the survey of the EikowLakarere Block, therefore I am not able to take any step toward the purchase of.that block.

& I have great hope that I shall be able to purchase another block shortly ; but, as much of the land is covered with keen keen, the Natives can at present get more by selling tho trees and retaining their land than they can by the sale thereof. They get from 10s. to .£1 per tree. There aro also many other things which make them put more value on their laud than they otherwise would do. The exertions of Mr. C. Davis to prevent the Natives from parting with their land have hitherto operated against the purchase of laud, also the contention amongst the Natives themselves about their respective claims Las had\_ the same effect; the price that. Las been proposed to be given for land has been cousidcrcd by them as too little.

7. I am of opimon that if the Government would but give a little advance in price there would soon be more land offered for sale.

I kilo* that the Natives as a body are convinced that the time is at hand when each individual
Native will do as lie pleases with his own land. The conduct Maihi and Iloropeta, in selling the •

Waiau Block in, spite, of all opposition, has operated Tanin-lia told me lately that ho was con-'winced that the Government would soon snake a purchase of all the spare land, for that he had found that-he and the other chiefs could not prevent other Natives from parting with their own land.

& The difficulties with which I have hitherto had to contend were of no ordinary character. Ilad it not been for the influence that I had with the Natives, and the confidence that they place in me, nothing, I bilieve, would have induced them to have sold any laud. I have used every means in my power to accomplish the object. The labour in conducting these negotiations has been more than it would have been in some districts where there was ten times tie quantity of land purchased. I shall embrace every opportunity, to extend the purchase when there is a chance of doing so, because I am convinced that before the mineral resources of this district can bo developed, the Native title to the land must be extinct, cr every effort, to prove them will Liil.

The Natives have neither energy nor persevereuce enoughto procure minerals, and besides, if they possessed both, their avarice would prevent them from bringing the product into market except they could get a price far above what merchants could give.

O. And it would be equally injurious to Europeans to occupy unpurchased land, the endless evili that would take place would entirely defeat the object of developing the resources of the district, neither do I think that the Natives would allow it, even on a limited scale.

10. Coal has been found at intervals along the whole range, and will, I think, be found both in quality and quantity far beyond the genorall4ectations. If so, it will bo a very great acquisition to the province.

Sta,— Stapleton, Coromandel, 16th 1858.

I herewith transmit the deed of part of the Alinalin Block, which I purchased yesterday. It contains full half of the island ; the remaining part of the island I could not agree for. I offered them the fixed price, but they demanded much more. They now have agreed to refer the subject to you for your direction. I shall be ready to pay them when I get your directions. Two deposits have been made some time past—one ou Rawiri's claim of Forty pounds (E40), and one on Auaru's of Five pounds (i5):

Acorn is deputed by the others to wait on you. It would be well, if it could he done, to secure the whole island ; but the two most important claims aro Matenga's and Karaitiana's. Matonga will bo here on bfouday about Ilk. Karaitiana I do not know what to do with; his is a very Important claim, and should be secured at any price.

I think that it would not be well to take any notice of the deposit ho had from you. Please to look to the map end sco the harbour, and his claim in connection with it. You may depend that it will soon be needful for the Government to put some ono there, as that is the station at which more

smnegling is done than any other harbour in the land. •

Yesterday the Natives were hen: about Wainuiototo; all the three parties have now agreed to part the money equally between them, Let we could not agree about the price. I offered them Two hundred and forty pounds (,£240), which would be Eighty pounds (no) for each party, but they want Three hundred pounds (E3OO), and are going to you about it.

I believe that they will take what I have offered when they find that no more will ho given. Three mecum I think may bo named for purchasing,—First, it contains a very largo proportion of knuri, which will at no distant time be of no small value. Secondly, it is commencing the purchase on the other side of the range, which, however long it may bo delayed, will eventually be made. In the third place, it is a piece of land that has been contended for for at least two generations ; the purchase of it will prevent any further dispute.

With respect to the Awakauae Block, I have seen but as yet I have not been able to come to any conclusion. I find from all parties that the internal boundaries as marked by Mr. Ilcaphy on the maps are incorrect, half of what is marked as Maraca's belongs to bfaihi. All the outer boundaries aro perfectly correct ; it is only the division between the land of each party ; but as Mali has a claim to meet soon, I have offered him Three hundred and twenty pounds (n2o) for his claim, ns that contaius what is most wanted. I hare not as yet had an answer. Horopeta will sell his, and Maraca could be left for the present.

All the plans aro made on the deed, and ready waiting. I fear that not much land will be sold except the purchase•money is increased; the Natives have by some means got to know the price that Kevon's land has sold for, which will Iss vary injurious hero for some time.

The map of the Matakitaki Block, the printed deed, and the general map of the Mercury Bay. District, mentioned by you as sent, have not as yet come to hated ; they must have been left behind.

I return one letter which must have come by mistake as it is for some person at Maungatantari. •

I should be glad to know by what party of Natives the islands mentioned by you aro offered for sale, an that would be a guide to me in negotiatiug.for them. Whoa I go to Whakatano I shall be able to examine all the islands, as I believe that they-a ant to sell several more ; it would, I think, be well to purchase all that aro worth anything, as I believe that they will before long become of value, when they may not be so easily procured.

There is a most valuable piece in this harbour near W. B. Moore's, which is offered ; it is the place where the Custom-house will stand, if ever thorn is one here.

I shall purchase it without any regard to its acreage, ibs those small pieces cannot be purchased by that plan.

When the Collector of Customs was here, he thought it the only place fit for the Custom-house. Should it not hi purchased now it would be difficult to got it.

Coromandel—Reporting on Claims of Paora Ts Pula.

612,— Stapleton, Coromandel, 27th July, 1858.

I have two letters from Peers to Putu about the land offered by Hops and others for sale. I knew that there would be other claims put in, and therefore recommend that their deposit should be less than what they wanted.

Pears has, I believe, a good claim to part, but much less than he would wish us to think ; also • man of the name of Enoka.

He, I believe, is the lino taks of Ngattlioherct, which was the tribe to whom the land belonged. I have written to Peers, telling him that I will see that his claim shall be attended to, but he wishes to refer the matter to you. You will see from a letter of his, which I enclose, that his expectations are too great. I should rather see the land first, before anything farther is done, which I shall endeavour to do on my way to Whetatane, which I trust will be as soon as I can complete the two purchases now in hand, and the weather a little more settled. It would be imprudent to p at present.

If I can induce them to let the boundaries go where I want, there will be about 86,000 acres. From the.calculation I have made from the map von sent me, there is more than 20,000. I shall be able to report on it on my return. Malta will be. at Whitianga, and I will call on him. Yon will see from Paora's letter to me that ho mentions thrnames of several persons as belonging to the land, but they are at Whakapirthan.

Paora and Enoka alone are the claimants of that tribe. There will be, I am aware, a few others from different tribea, but, as the extent is great, we shall be able to give something to all, and, buy out each party's claims.

I have purchased the piece I spoke of iu my last, near to W. B. Moore's, and will send the deed by the first safe opportunity. From all that I can hear, there is no opposition from any party to the sale of the land at Mercury Bay; all appear willing to sell ; the great contention here is about price. The Natives have bean informed that a few acres of 'Coven's land has been resold for £3,000, and they cannot understand what makes that of more value than the other land near to it. These things may wear off in time.

Bra,— Stapleton, Coromandel. 22nd October, 1868.-

1. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of various loiters for me to report on. I am now in possession of the proper information to do so.

2. The claims both of To Marini and Wiremu Paiawa, although both sent separately, I believe to bo the same. They do not, from what I can learn, possess any personal claim, but a tribal one. It was arranged by Mr. C. Davis, when the negotiations were going on between the Government and Waka, in connection with Te Marini, Wiremu Paiawa, and the other Natives of the Barrier, that Waka was to give them some part of cap payment, which he has not done : it is on that ground that their demand is male. I consider that they are entitled to some compensation, but of course not to anything like what they demand.

8. With regard to the land offered for sale by Onehunga, I believe that she has some claim to it, but at present it would not be advisable to purchase it, as it is disputed, and. only a small spot, situated at a distance from any land that has been purchased.

4. Te Hoki's letter about the Weise and Awaken:se land cannot be received as a claim : the only piece that he has a claim to is Ongohe, which is left out of the purchase. He was present when Mr. Hearby surveyed the land, and gave up all claim to it.

6. Maraca Tiki has no personal claim to the Waiau Block. Maihi is acknowledged by all to be the only person who has any right to sell any part of that block. She must therefore go to him, and make her claim, as it will be impossible for her claims to bo considered by any person making the purchase.

Ho is wrong as regards the money paid : it was not £30, but 212; and as to his claim, ho has none to that island. The only person except Dlaihi that has any claim to it, is a man named Enoka. I know that I shall have yet to give him a small sum, but nothing either to Karaitiana or his party.

In reference to the laud purchased by me at Opito, Karaitiana came with the Natives to me, and withdrew his claim. and requested me to purchase it fectzt them, which I did for £34, not 240, as stated by him. I am sorry that he cannot confine his statements to truth.

Begaiding the Halm block, I have constantly put them off until you came back, as you were present at their meeting at Kapangs. I am of opinion that something will have to bo given to each party : perhaps the best way would bo to purchase separately each party's claim.

With respect to the Pungapunga, I am quite ready to make the purchase as soon as Karaitiana comes to me about it.

– – 59 0 0 Lying between &yen's & Peppercorn's claim. A new transaction. Survey ed.—Tub i tote, say– 90 0 0 Including a part of Wilson's claim, with Karaitiana's unsold land. Surveyed.—Poroporo,say– 25 0 0 On-Government half of Whauganni Island. One of Webster's

Kilcowhakarere, about – 90 0 0 A new transaction, adjoining Callowar^ claim.. Surveyed. — Downing's,

Makariri – 10 0 0

Total 269 0 0

Mr. Preece is of opinion that the Natives are not yet ready to commence negotiations for further sales. Mr. Preece when I applied to him on the subject, stated that in about a mouth, or some such period, he thought the Natives would be able to go to the Big Mercury Island ou the subject of their claims tbere.

I think that when the payment is made to the Coromandel Natives for the Papa tapas set forth on the precediug leaf, it is very likely they will be prepared to offer further lands to tho Government.

It is very desirable that the land which. reverts to the Crown from Webster's purchases at Wai Totem near Waiau and Motu Tapers, as well as that at Kennedy's Bay and Mercury Bay should be definitely taken possession of as soon as possible, by being marked out on the ground. Any additional payments which may have to be made upon these claims will but conduce in effect to the final acquireinent by the Government of those lands which the Natives have no occasion to retain for their own use, in the Coromandel district.

I have to request that you will place yourself in communication with Paora's tribe at Kopn- .

survey of an expensive character, but at the same time the boundaries should be marked out in such a manner that no dispute may hereafter arise relative to them. Wald Tapu, graves, cultivations, and other spots which the Natives may wish to have reserved to themselves should be properly surveyed and the boundaries distinctly marked out on the ground.

It will be necessary that some of the Native proprietors should accompany you to point out the correct boundaries, who will be paid for their services at the UMW rate of wages for such work. The general object of die survey is to have the boundaries of the land given up by the late Peones tribe for gold diggings, defined with sufficient distinctness, to avoid any possibility of dispute or encroachment OD Native territory.

You will compute as accurately as you can the area of the land that hart been coded by Paora's people for gold-digging.

A few posts put up in places where you deem it necessary will be requisite, more especially where there are no rivers or natural boundaries.

I enclose for your guidance a copy of Memorandum of Agreement in which the boundaries of the land given up by them for gold-digging is described.

A Report of the state of the Land Purchase Department in the District of Coromaudel, 10 July, 1801. The undermenthod blocks have been surveyed, and can be purchased when the money which has been granted for that purpose is forwarded :—

Matarangi BlocL—Eruera's.
Ahualiu Block.—Matengs's.

8. To Pungapunga Block.—Kamitiane. and Ririe's.

4. Kaituna Block.—Wiremn Hopihana's,

5, Waikiekie Block.—Hira To Pure's.

O. Kikowhakarere Block—Paore and Karaitians's.

To Hobo Block cannot be purchased until the Mahakiran Block is purchased, as the deposit given on it is in excess of the valet end is to be deducted from Mahakirau.
Maumaupaki Block joint that of the Awskanae already purchased on the one side, and Mahakirau on the other, and contain!. by estimation about 4000 acres, and runs from the surveyed line of the Awakanae to the film, of Castle Rook. This is part of the district mentioned by Dr. ' Hochstetter as an available and payable Gold-field. About a fortnight since a nugget was found in a creek near this land which contains about two ounces of pure gold, which had been broken off from a solid rock by soma kauri logs brought down the creek ; it was carried down Cue creek by the flood, and found after the water had subsided. No search hiss as yet been wade for the ground deposit, as the white men do not wish to excite the Natives; they had rather see the land quietly purchased by the Government first.

0, Mahakirau Block commences whore the Maumaupaki Block ends, and continues to Mercury Bay. A creek that runs through this block runs into Mercury River. It continua by estimation, about 30,000 acres. A large portion of this block is excellent land.: part of it contains a very good /Caul forest, other portions of it are, like the last block, gold deposits. I beg strongly to recommend the immediate purchase of both these blocks ; there is no difficulty in doing so as there is not any dispute about thorn, tho purchase can be made as soon NA the survey is completed, as the Natives are very desirous of selling ; but should gold be found in large quantities before that is 41ne, there would be a great difficulty in making the purchase at all, as then, I believe, that no sum ‘...nld induce them to part with it, whereas if we purchase now, we shall have in ono block, from Coromandel to Mercury Bay, about 40,000 acres, on which prospecting operations would be going on, and on'the other side of Mercury Bay the Government have a block already purchased of about 19,000 acres which is covered with quartz and iron stone, which always indicate a gold deposit; in fact gold has been found on this land ; I saw a small bat beautiful nugget of gold found there. I consider that the purchase of these blocks may, in future, prevent great disturbances.

10. Opitonui Block joins the two last at Castle Bock and loads out to Whangapona. It contains by estimation from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, a good part of it is very good land and contains a fine kauri forest ; a large creek runs through the centro of it. Gold is supposed to exist on this as well as on the two last blocks, some very fine samples Were got here about four years ago. There is a little dispute about the ownership of this block • a woman of Whangapoua of the name of Rai Porou claims part of it, Ihave thoroughly investigated this claim, and from the evidence given by all parties I am

82 82

•

convinced' that she lima no selling claim nor right to interfere; she ought to rective something when the payment is made, which could be reserved for her, or her claim could be referred to some Court which bad authority to adjust claims of that kind.

11. The Opotoro Block joins the Opito Block which has boon already purchased. When this is purchased, the- Opito Block could be thrown open for selection the piece to bo purchased may contain from 0 to 8,000 acres ; the whole ,when open, will be about 8,0:70 acres • it is undisputed, and the purchase 11a4 been promised ; I therefore beg leave to recommend the completion of this purchase.

12. Waimoka Block is situated near the Opito Block, and joins the Matarangi Block. A deposit of £10 has been given on this ; it the boundaries, as stated, should prove to be correct wizen surveyed, I should think that it would prove to be about 4, sr 0,000 acres. The survey of all the above blocks could be made at the same time, as they are all close together.

18. The Hebei Block is situated on the South side of Mercury Bay, and joins land already purchased to the extent of 1,800 acres. I have not as yet been able to complete the negotiations for this block. Each of the parties who contend for this land lay claim to the whole, but from all that L have been able to collect on the subject, I firmly believe that their claims are about equal. The ono party have agreed to allow the money to be divided, and as the principal person of the other party who contended for the whole is dead, I think that I shall, in the end, be able to get them to allow mo to divide the sum equally amongst them, and thus prevent serious disturbance amongst themselves, as neither will ever allow the other to possess it,.

The Whangamata Block, which has been offered by Itawiri, is, I fear, too much disputed to allow of any further steps being taken about it until the contending parties can make some mutual arrangement amongst themselves ou that claim.
Honoree Block is situated in this Harbour, and contains about 150 acres of vory good land ; this is only waiting to be surveyed, and could then 'be purchased at once.

The above is the true state of the Land Question in this district at the present time, and although there has not been much laud offered for sale of late, it has not been from any feeling adverse to the sale of laud that has prevented the Natives from offering larger blocks, but from an idea that the prices given were not equivalent to the value of the land, which they consider will loon be worth a large sum when its mineral wealth is developed. I am of opinion that if a more liberal scale was adopted, it would have a good effect on the minds of the Natives, and at the same time restore their coniidence in the Government.

I have the honor to enclose copy of a letter addressed to me on 20th March last by Mr. James Mackay, jun., relative to his being provided with funds to enable him to complete on favourable to' ins the purchase of two largo blocks in the Cape Colville Peninsula. Dr. Pollen being absent, and being personally aware that a very largo sum might be saved to the colony and the province on this purchase by dealing with the Natives at the Magi at Obinemori, I felt myself justified in edvancing to Mr. Mackay the sum of Two thousand pounds for that purpose. I proceeded with Mr. Mackay to Ohinemuri, and was present when he was negotiating with the Natives there assembled, and I feel convinced that a large saving, both in time and money, was effected by his being placed in funds promptly to conduct these negotiations. I trust that you will approve of my action in this matter, and that the amount advanced will be at once repaid.

Permit nic further to suggest that provision should be made in future for providing funds by which advantage can be taken promptly of such circumstances as the above, which occasionally arise. I have, &o.,

TRONA' B. Grizres,

MT. JAMS Mau" jun., to the SIIPZEDITENDENT of AMIE:LAND.

New Zealand Native Land Agency,

Z Auckland, 20th March, 1872.
SL.—

Referring to your request that I would inform you as to the progress made by mo in
basing and negotiating for the purchase of Native lands on the Coromandel Peninsula, I have the
nor to inform you that no purchase has es yet been completed by me. The surveys and negotia-
tions for the Waikawau and Cape Colville Blocks are in a forward state, and I anticipate being able
to acquire these at a price not exceeding 2s. per acre. I have made considerable advances on account

of these purchases, having either paid for or made myself privately responsible for goods and stores amounting to £1,867 Is. 5d. I have made application to the Agent for the General Government for an advance to enable me to recoup myself the sums actually paid from private funds, and to pay the other.smounts for which I have b000me responsible, and have as yet received no reply to my communication, which was made on the 4th instant.

A sum of £5,000 would probably accomplish this now, and as the area of the Waikawau Block is estimated by the surveyor, Mr. 0. M. Creagh, to be about 100,000 acres ; and the Cape Colville Block is estimated by Mr. Tole to be about 60,000 acres. This would be a very desirable purchase, being only 6.t. per acre.

I nave made arrangements for the survey and purchase of the Whangamata and Hikutaia Blocks, but have deferred entering further on these at present, until the completion of the telegraph line through that district, for fear of any complication arising to delay that important public work.

Unless the General Government can make some alteration in financial matters, so as to make it as easy to purchase for the Crown as for private persons. the acquirement of these lauds will bo tedious and difficult. The great point in buying land from Natives is to be able to have money at command to take advantage of favourable opportunities like the present.

Dr. Pollen being absent from Auckland, and not being likely to return for some time, and as it is impossible without funds to proceed further with those negotiations, I would beg to request that you will be as good as to advance the sum of £2,000 to enable me to conclude these purchases, which are smatter of great importance to the Province, and to make provision for further advances, if necessary, not exceeding the sum of £5,000 above mentioned, and which advances I think you are justified in making, pending the completion of the General Government arrangements for supplying the necessary funds.

I have, &c.,

No. 1.

The NArrvz Sacanriar to His Excellency Colonel T. Goss Baowits, C.B., Governor.
Hauraki—Report of Visit to that District.

Native Secretary's Office,

Auckland, 5th June, 1857.

I have the honor to report for your Excellency's information the result of my late visit to the Thames and Coromandel Harbour Districts.

Pukorokoro.

First—After leaving Auckland I proceeded to the Thames, where I had a conference with the Ngatipaoa tribe respecting the purchase of the Piako District. The Ngatipaoa chiefs followed me in their canoes to Pukorokoro, a small river to the west of the Piako, where I found Mr. Drummond Hay and a party of Natives. I held a meeting with the whole of the claimants, who agreed to proceed with Mr. Hay to point out the boundaries of their land, and settle their conflicting claims and differences respecting such portions as were claimed by other tribes. This being completed, Mr. Hay was instructed (a copy of which is herewith enclosed) to furnish a plan of the district about to be ceded, estimated at 140,000 acres, and a date was to be fixed on which all the claimants should be assembled at Auckland to effect a final settlement of that long-pending question.
Secondly—From Pukorokoro I proceeded up the Thames in the expectation of meeting Taraia, who had left there some days previously ; consequently I have not been able to see him in reference to the purchase of some land he offered to the Government in the Coromandel District, near Cape

Patens Puhats's Offer of Land at Coromandel.

8. Thirdly—From the Thames I came back to Waiheke for the chief Puhata, who has offered to give up a space of land containing about four or five square miles for the purpose of gold-digging, which offer may be availed of by the Government, if necessary ; although I conceive it would be more prudent to discourage the search for gold until' negotiations connected with the purchase are more matured. •

4. There is at present a general indisposition on the part of the Natives to alienate their lands at Coromandel Harbour, and, with the exception of the unsold portions of Mercury Island and a few small blocks on the main, there is nothing else open for immediate purchase in that district. These places they offer should be purchased as a means of leading to more extensive sales ; but this must be done with caution se, if the Natives find an eagerness on the part of the Government to acquire their land, the opposition of the Natives will increase in the same proportion as the eagerness of the

Government is manifested. As far as I can ascertain it is not so 'much a question of price that will weigh with them in this matter as a national feeling which prevails among many of the New Zealand tribes by which they enter into leagues and confederations against the sale of their country. Moreover, at Coromandel they are apprehensive that the discovery of gold in any quantity would lead to such an influx of disorderly Europeans as might annihilate or exterminate them.

Under all the circumstances I did not deem it prudent to press negotiations during my stay there, considering it more advisable to acquire information and disabuse the Natives of some of the fears they entertained, and to lead them to a more favourable consideration of the question. •

Mr. James Preece.

In furthering this object the Government would be very much aided by securing the services of Mr. Preece, who has been resident in the colony as a missionary for the last twenty-six years, having lived the greater portion of the time in the Thames District. Mr. Preece is now retired from the mission service. He is thoroughly acquainted with the tribes, and knows the extent and general position of their claims. I would therefore recommend that he should be employed to carry on preliminary negotiations for such lands in the Coromandel District, where he is residing, as tho Natives may from time to time be disposed to alienate, and in the meantime, until the work accumulates, that he should receive pay at the rate of One hundred pounds (e100) per annum.

occupied there. Some pieces of land have been sold to Europeans, but they form but a small proportion to the whole. The kauri timber at Cabbage Bay, Tangiers, Matamataharakeks, and the northern portion of Kennedy Bay has been sold to Europeans owning saw-mills. I have surveyors employed on the external boundaries of this block at the present time. The title is much disputed.

2. Tokatea Block.

This is the Most valuable portion of the Coromandel Goldfield at present worked. The probable extent is 15.000 acres. This land is leased by the Native owners to the Crown at the annual rental of £500. All the available kauri timber, excepting that situated near Paul's Creek, has boon out by sawmill proprietors. Mr. Gibbon's mill at Kikowliakarere has been recently removed, and that of Mr. Charles Ring is principally emplojed to drive (parts-crushing machinery. There is no available Agricultural land on this block, other than what is in the hands of European settlers, or is required for Native reserves. This block would be difficult to acquire in consequence of its known value. No accurate survey has been made ofit.

8. Kennedy Bay Block.

This block was formerly surveyed at Government expense, and contains about 9,500 acres. No further outlay for surveys will bo required, excepting the repayment to me of the sum of £25 expended on some alterations, earl a plan which was made by Mr. Gwynnoth, licensed ffisurveyor in order to meet the requirements of " The Native Londe Act." This block contains sufficient available land for Native reserves • and there is a fiat in addition of about 000 acres, formerly leased to Messrs. Cruick- shank and Smart, bat now abandoned by thorn which is suitable for a town site and settlement. The remainder—say, 8,000 acres—is miniu4 country of considerable value, and should, if possible, be acquired at once, as delay will increase the difficulty of purchase. The kauri timber on a portion of this block has been sold to Messrs. Cruickshank and Smart, who own a there.

4. A:sponge Block.

The largest part of this, which adjoins the Tokates Block, belongs to the Government. The remainder, about 775 acres, was granted to the late Pita Taurus; who is sucoseded by a boy of

agricultural purposes. The kauri timber on about

588 acres of it has been leased to Mr. Alfred Jerome Cadman, who has a sawmill on the Karelia Stream. There are several quartz reefs within the block, which have not been tested. Gold has been found in small quantities, but there are no claims at present occupied. It would be advisable to purchase this block, as it adjoins Government land ; the difficulty, however, appears to be the inability of a minor to dispose of it. The lands south of the Reponse Block belong to Europeans as ;tar as the Tiki or Ngaurukehu Block.

Tiki or Xgaurukehu Block.

This consists of two piecri of land granted to Natives, and known as the Waisu No. 1, and Motutere • the former contains 1,098 acres, and the latter 240 acres. These are separated by a piece about 600 acres, granted to the late Mr. W. B. Moore. There is no land on this block suitable for agricultural purposes ; there is some good kauri timber on it, and several gold-mining claims have been and are now successfully worked within its limits. The owners are not inclined to sell their land, and, from the known value of the Waiau No. 1 portion, a large price would in any case be demanded.

IVaiau and Matawai Block.

This adjoins the llotmtere portion of the Tiki and Ngaurukehu Blocks, and may be estimated to contain 1,600 acres of hilly land, all the available hurl timber on which has been cut by the owners of the Waiau Sawmill. Gold has been found in the Matawai Stream, but not in any quantity in the Block. The lands to the southward and to the westward of this piece are the property of the Crown, and it would be desirable to acquire it to consolidate the Government property in that neighbourhood. This block requires to be surveyed.

Minutia North Block.

•

This block belongs to a' section of the Nptimarn tribe. The area of the land not occupied by Natives or required for reserves may be estimated' at about 8,000 acres of hilly country. Gold has been found in small quantities within it, but no payable claim has hitherto been discovered. This piece is bounded on the South by the Manilla South Block. This Block requires to be surveyed.

Manaia South:* Block.

This block may be estimated to contain, exclusive of the large reserves required by the Towers tribe. about six or seven thousand acres of hilly land. Gold has been discovered in small quantities in streams on this block, but no payable claims have been discovered. This piece is bounded on the South by the Waikawan Block. This block requires to be surveyed.

9,, Mika- Eau: Block.

This msy be estimated to contain about 60;000• acres of land, the greater part of which is of broken description. There are a few patches of land available for cultivation on the banks of the numerous streams which intersect it; but these bear lint a small proportion to the whole. The best pieces of land for settlement are at Te Pura and Wainni, but these have been either sold to Europeans or are required for Native reserves. Probably not more •than 2,000 acres of this block bare been ?muted under the Native Lands Act. The town of Hastings and the Tapu Creek diggings are within it. There is lesson to believe that a very large proportion of the land is of an auriferous character. The available kauri timber in the neighbourhood of the Waikawan and Mesta streams has been sold to Captain Dally, who owns• a large and valuable saw-mill at Waikawau. The kauri timber at Otuturu has been sold to Mr. Elector McKenzie, and that at Waipukapuka to Mr. Thomas Kelly. The survey of this block is in a forward state, having boon undertaken by Captain Daldy and myself

with a view to purchasing the whole block from the Natives, subject to tho Government agreement, with them respecting gold mining. We are, however, prepared to waive our claims on condition of Captain Daldy receiving a title to the timber heretofore purchased by him, and a piece of 400 acres of land adjacent to the Waikawan saw-mill, and 60 acres at thebooms on the Mats stream, and our being repaid the cost of survey and the deposits paid by us to the Natives on various pieces within the block, less the proportional cost of the 410 acres before mentioned. Tho pieces of 400 and 60 acres respectively required by Captain Daldy to be excluded from the operation of" Tho Mining Divtrict Act, 1871." It is anticipated that no additional Native reserves will be required, as there are considerable holdings at Hereto, and Matariki immediately north of this block, which with the pieces already mentioned at To Peru and Wainui are sufficient for Native requirements id that neighbourhood.

The survey at present in progress is merely *of the external boundaries, and some sub-divisional lines will probably have to bo cut in consequence of troublesome disputes between the hapne of Ngatitamatera as to internal boundaries. Immediately south of the Waikawau Block is that known as To Wharau or Wairnaterangi, which has been purchased by the Crown.

10. Whakincta Block. This .

This is a triangular-shaped piece of small extent, probably 1,000 acres; the only valuable portion of the frontage of which has been granted to the Native owners. The remainder is very rough, hilly land, and is not approved of by gold miners for its auriferous character. It might bo desirable to purchase this land, if the Tararu district is acquired, so as to connect To Wharau, or Wairuatarangi Block with Tararu. As To Wharau on the north, and Tararu on the south, have been surveyed, it may be assumed that the cost of survey of this portion will be small, as most of the lines are already defined on the ground. .-

Tararu Block.

This block consists of two pieces, known as Tararu North and Tararu South, which have been surveyed uy the Native owners, the total area of the two being about 8,500 acres. This land is of known auriferous character, and is likely' to support a large.mining population. The title is not disputed, but the Natives are not disposea to sell it. No reserves are required, the land being of a class unfit for Native or other cultivation. The knurl timber from Tinker's Gully to the source of the Tararu Stream has been sold to the Moanatidari Water Supply Company.

Karaka Block.

This contains all the most valuable claims on tho Thames Goldfield, also the Towns of Grahamstown and Shortland. The townships aro chiefly private property, and it would not be advisable to interfere with existiag arrangements. A large portion of the laud, amounting to 1,600 acres, exclusive of tewnships, has been surveyed under my directions, and the unsurveyed remainder ma:, be estimated at 1,000 acme. The difficulty of purchasing this block cannot be easily estimated, as thu owners have been in the habit of receiving, about £6,000 per annum for miners rights' fees alone. There is no unsold laud within this block fit for any purpose other than mining.

18. Otuuu, Block.

This is .1 unsurvc-ed but may be estimated to contain from 0,000 to 7,000 acres. The land is not suitable for a;;ricultural purposes. Gold has been found on it in small quantities, but no claims are at present occupied, which way be attribute I to tho want of means of ccnomuniention by a practicable road, and the absence of any machinery for extracting tho gold from the quartz. The Kauri timber on the benks of the Mangakirikiri and Mangerchu Streams has been purchased by Europeans.

14. Whakairi Block.

This block is under survey by my direction, and is estimated to contain 85,000 acres. There is but a very small proportion of it suitable for settlement. Probably some portion of it is auriferous, but at present the gold miners have but a poor opinion of it in that respect. Tho kauri timber has been purchased by a company at Auckl,,nd, who intend erectiug a sawmill At Shortland, which will be a great boon to the Thames Goldfield.

16. Kirikiri Block.

This block haft not been surveyed, but probably contains about 6,000 acres. The land is not fit for agricultural purposed, and is not in favour with the gold unnio.s. Small quantities of gold have been found in the liirikiri River, but no claims are held within the block. The Lauri timber has been sold to Mr. John Gibbons. Tho largo reserve to the westward of the goldfield boundary contains more land than is required by the Native owners for cultivation and settlements. Any surplus would bo suitable for European occupation for ordinary agricultural purposes.

1(1. 7'. 'Puriri Block.

The same remarks as made in the previous case (Kirikiri Block) apply to thin block, with the exception that-gels bus been found at Te Puriri in pavab'o quantities, and the kauri timber has not been sold. The land has not been surveyed. The probable area is 10,000 acres.

The lands tinder the second head are contained in the Whaugapoua, Mercury Bay, Tairna, W1.1rekawa, and Omaha Blocks.

1. Tfliangapoua Block.

This has nearly all been granted to Natives, under the " Native Lands Act." Gold has been found in two or three places in the neighbourhood of the Waitekuri Ma -'hut the workings wore ahandoned in consequence of the obstructi-4 policy pn-seed by the Native owners. There is n little land within this area which would be available for settlement, but the greater proportion is hilly, •

•

broken country. The knurl timber has been sold, to Messrs. Craig and Harris, and has formed the subject of interminable lawsuits between those parties. It is questionable whether much of the Whangapoua Block could be purchased, as it is probable the title to it is complicated by private arrangements between the Native owners and certain Europeans.

• 2. Mercury Bay Block.

This district is of considerable area. There are probably 40,000 acres of unsold land in it. The extent of land available for settlement is small. Gold has been found in two places, but the workings arc uow abandoned. Nearly the whole of the land has been granted to the Native owners, under the Native Lands Act, and the available kauri timber has boon sold to either the Mercury Bay Saw-Mill Company or the Auckland Saw-Mill Company, who have valid leases or agreements extending over terms of years. I do not anticipate any groat difficulty in procuring the freehold'of this district. The Government have previously acquired some largo blocks there, but which are of but little value for settlement.

8. rain= Block.

This block probably contains about 20,000 acres of unsold land, mostly of a hilly, broken character, unsuitable for settlement, but which is believed to bo auriferous. Alluvial gold has been found in two or three places, and it is reported that a " rush" of miners from the Thames has taken place there during the last few days. The kauri timber has boon sold to Messrs. Beecombe and Son, who have s valuable saw-mill on freehold land near the mouth of the river Taira& I think this block can be purchased from the Natives. I have been requested to get it surveyed, and to apply to the Native Land Court to investigate the title.

4. Wharekarca and Omahu Blocks.

These may Ix estimated at 40,000 acres of land of rough hilly character. I am not aware of any gold having been found there. I understand that Messrs. Ilannaford, Logan, Brissendon, and O'Keefe have advanced moneys to tho Natives for the purpose of defraying the expenses of surveying these lands, but the survey has not boon undertaken owing to the opposition of some of the Natives. It is probable these blocks can be acquired, as I am informed that the liens registered in the Native Land Court by the above gentlemen can !w --chased for a small amount from the holders, and this would give the Government a footing on the land.

The lands under the third head are the Hikutaia, Ohinemuri, Aroha, Wairere, Matamata, and Patatere Blocks.

1. Ilikutaia Block.

This has not been surveyed, but probably contains 25,000 acres. There are a few patches in this fit for settlement, irrespective of the requirements for Native reserves. The remainder of the land is of hilly character. I have reason to believe that some portion of it will be found auriferous. The title to this block is much disputed. I have instructions from the principal owners to survey it and get the title investigated by the Native Land Court, but have declined to do so until the telegraph line is completed through it for fear of a dispute arising and causing complications which might militate against the construction of the lino. The survey will be commenced as soon as the telegraph line is finished.

2. Ohinemuri Block.

This has not been surveyed ; tLe probable area is 100,000 acres. Of this one-third is fit for settlement, irrespective of requirements for Native reserves. Gold has been found in three or four places within this territory, but I have reason to believe it will bo more difficult of access than at the Thames and Coromandel fields. This block can only be acquired by degrees and by very carefully conducted negotiations.

8. 7'e Aroha Block.

This may bo estimated to be of nearly the same extent as the Ohinomuri Block, but contains a larger area of land fit for %Attempt. The title to this land was disputed between the Thames Natives and the Ngatihaua tribe of Waikato, and after a pretreated investigation was awarded to the former by the Native Land Court. I believe some part of it can be acquired easier than the Ohinemuri country. The Government have some land on the Waitoa stream, adjoining the western boundary of Te Aroha Block. To Aruba is the southern extremity of the lands owned by the Hauraki Natives.

4. Wairere Block.

This is situated on the eastern bank of the River Thames, and extends frem the southern extremity of To Aroha Block to Okauia, and inland to the western boundary of the Tauranga Block. The land is unsurveyed, but the probable area is 86,000 acres, about one-third of which is fit for settlement irrespective of the requirements for Native purposes. The owners are the Ngatillinerangi tribe, who are connected with Ngatiraukawa of Patctore, and the Ngaiterangi of Tuuranga. At the time of the sitting of the Native Land Court in To Aroha case, the principal chiefs engaged mo to act as :belt agent in any future disposition of their land. I have not as yet entered en the question, but believe action might be taken and negotiations brought to a successful termination.

5. /laureate Block.

The land forming this block is chiefly of a level character, some of it is of a swampy nature. The Fester part was formerly leased to Josiah Firth, Esq., for the depasturago of stock. Ho has succeeded

the fee-simple of some large pieces of it at the southern extremity of this block extending us obtaining

towards Petetere. W. T. Buokland, holds leases of an extensive tract of country. Nearly the whole of the Miasmata Block is of a quality suitable for settlement, though the land is in some slates swampy and at etlurs rather dry mad exposed to cutting winds.

a. Pelotas Block.

This is an extensive tract of country on both sides of the Rivr Waibou or Theme', extending the 'Waikato River on the West and to the Tauranga and Rotorua watershed on the East. The land is of fair average quality for settlement, and ought to sustain a large populatiou. This district is owned by the Ngatiraukawa tribe, who have hitherto held aloof from any land transactions with the Crown. I would suggest that if the Government make terms with Mr. Dockland that the land should be purchased in his name. It is the opinion of miners who have visited this district that the auriferous country, which commences on the North at Cape Colville and forms the Coromandel and Hauraki Goldfields, terminates at Horahora at the southern extremity of the Fatetere District.

I assume that the area of the country above' described is at least 500,000 acres, exclusive of the Tokaten, Kapangn, Tiki or Ngaurukalan, Tararu, and Hunks Blocks ; and that the average coat per. acre, including surveys, would be from two shillings and sixpence to three shillings per acre, or a total

of £75,000. Tho Tokatea, Kapangli, Tiki or Ngaurukaliu, Tamru, and Karaka Blocks may bo esti- ' mated to contain 22,000 acres, and it would not be nu excessive estimate to assume that these can not be purchased at a lower average rate than one pound ton shillings per acre, or say a total of 288,000. Taking into consideration the fact that a largo portion of this extensive territory would be purchased from Natives who are hostile to the sale of lands to the Crown, and that much of the land is of known auriferous' character, I do not think it would be right to estimate the total cost at less than £108,000, excluatve of agent's commission.

The question of reserves for Native residence, occupation, and cultivation will also require serious attention, and it will probably be found necessary in most instances to make this class of lands inalienable.

After nil questions as to boundaries, surveys, and reserves have been arranged, the title to the lands should be investigated by the Native Land Court, and conveyances be procured from the parties found to be interested therein. In cases of very largo purchases, it might be found desirable to make the payments by instal/flouts running over a term of years. It would also be beneficial to induce the Natives to invest some of their money in Government annuities. It will be necessary that forms of deeds should be supplied to me, seine of which should have provision inserted in them for payment by instalments. I object to the aid form of Land Purchase Deed, as the space for description of boundaries, and the signature of the Natives, is too small. I think the deeds should be printed on parchment.

In order to prevent confusion in surveys, and also to obviate the necessity for repented references to the Inspector of Surveys for information.as to previous surveys within the Coromandel and Eastern Hauraki Districts, I would respectfully request that a map or tracing should be furnished to me, showing all Government lands, grantcd lauds, and surveyed lands within the blocks hereinbefore described. Tho same to contain the area and boundaries, with bearings and distances, where possible, of such lauds. No use to be made of such information, except for the Government purchases.

As there are several pieces of land which have been granted to Natives, under“ The Native Lands Act," which have not been sold to Europeans ; end it may in some cases be found advisable to secure these for the Crown, I would respectfully'request that the Native Land Court officials should be instructed to furnish me with a return of all lands in the Coromandel and Eastern Hauraki Districts for which certificates of title have been ordered by the Court, with the names of the grantees in i ich case. I could then, by referring to the Deeds Registration Office, ascertain the lands which had been disposed cf. arid those still in the bands of the Natives. Lands within the townships of hapanga, Hastings, ( ralianistown, and Shorthand need not be included iu this return.

With reference to the vested interce;s and claims of Europeans to kauri timber, situated within the blocks of land proposed to be purchased, some of which arc held under valid leases, made subsequent to the issue of certificates or title by the Native Laud Court, and others by agreements made previous to the issue of certificates of title for the lands comprised in such agreements, I would beg to recounne. .1 that in all cases where the parties are in actual possession of the timber, and do not obstruct the Uovernment in negotiatiug for the purchase of the lands, that all such agreements, leases, and private interests shall be respected, and the` conveyances by the Natives to the Crown shall take notice of and confirm rill such reasonable nod fair leases, agreements and transactions. I would point out that the timber trade is of vital interest to the goldfields, and is ono of great importance to the Province of Auckland, and very large capital is invested in it ; and although the agreements for the acquisition of timber are not in the majority of cases strictly legal or valid ; yet many of these so-called illegal agreements have been made by. and with the assistance of officers of the Native Department. If the GovernmeJt acquired the kanri timber, it would only be destroyed by miners and bush firm.. At the present time, where the knurl timber is not the property of mill owners, it is a fruitful source of discontent between the miners, Government officers, and the Native proprietors.

I will, at the earliest opportunity, furnish the Government with a sketch map, showing approximately the position of dm various blocks of land alluded to in this report, for purposes of refnrcnce when nuy question arises. I must, however, state that I only give sucn itiformation ou the understanding that the Government employ no agent other than myself to conduct the negotiations for the purchase of the lands herein alluded to, as it would be manifestly unjust to me to supply Om deems with information acquired by myself for my own business, and which they are not in a position to 'obtain, or to furnish to the Government.

In conclusion, I beg to state that as the Government have confided this important and responsible business to me, no effort shall be spared on my part to bring the negotiations to a successful termination, and G.10 which will be beueficial to the interests of the Colony, and meet with the approval of the Government. I have, Lc.,

The Don. the Minister for Public Works, Jaws If-sassy, JULIE'. Wellington.

Mr. COMMISSION= Her to the Cams Cosimrsivimm.
Thames.—The Natires prefer to sell their Lands in small Blocks.

Sin,— • Koupu, 81st August, 1858.

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of letters dated 29th and 80th Juno, 8th, 9th and

10th July.

In reply to those referring to Biria's claim, I have the honor to state, for the information of the Government, that the land has not been surveyed, nor have I entered into negotiation for it.

A small piece of land was offered by Unahi (Wi Koka) near Waikaka, but not approved of by me, as I considered this and several other small claims had better be purchased in one block, or not at all.

It is impossible to complete the purchase of small pieces of land under a thousand acres, unless at the rate of 2s. or 8s. per acre, and the Natives would like to sell separately m they think, otherwise, that they do not get the full benefit of their claims. They may consent at the commencement of the negotiation to 16d. or ls. per acre, but when tho sum paid to them does not exceed their very sanguine expectations, disputes arise ; and if one Native complains, his friends readily join in his cry. The greatest drawback and source of contention I have met with has been the money advanced on small blocks, the Natives comparing the size of the blocks, and accusing me as the cause of their not obtaining higher prices.

They also exclaim that they never have anything to show for their land after it is sold, as—except in the case of one or two influential men who may retain large sums—the mass of the payment is divided amongst the tribe in trifling sums, which are spent, perhaps, immediately, and in a few months they regret having ceded their land.

The Ngatimaru and Ngatitamatera are the only tribes that can sell blocks of any sizo in this district, and with them I have to fight my way from claimant to claimant until a good sized block is procured. I speak, of course, of arrangements previous to the sale by Ngatai, as since then there is very little use attempting to purchase.

The Ngatimarn have always been opposed to selling their lands, but their opposition, without being violent, is more determined than ever. There have been visitors from t e Waikato amongst them lately, and from what I hear they were sort to try and confirm the Ngatimaru in their system of retaining their lands. I attempted to negotiate with them the other day for land on the West bank near the Arolia, but was told to consider their decision 1.8 final • that they would never sell a single acre to the Government south of the months of Piako and Waou. I told them, that, though of course their land was their own, I did not recognise, their right to retain land which they do not, nor never will, cultivate, and part of which is debateable land, so that by selling their claims there they would do away with ono source of dispute.

I have been for some time collecting a party who aro inclined to sell ; but I do not wish their lands to be offered until the old land claims in this river have been settled.

I have delayed several purchases until Mr. Dillon Bell arrived, as they wo.re all connected with the old land claims.

In negotiating with the Natives, I attempt to point out to them the most advantageous and substantial form that may be given to payments they may receive ; for instance, by suggesting a flour-mill, and pointing out a site. I have succeeded in obtaining a small block of 4,000 acres or thereabouts ; there has been a dispute about it, but it is not ono that will interfere with the sale, and will be settled by Te Kopara immediately he returns to the Piako.

I have been doing all I can to get up to the Ngatihana boundary, as the border land belongs to a Napa, who were anxious to sell when the Hangawera Block was sold, and who are willing to sell now. The King party are, of course, using every exertion to retain all Native lands, and I am inclined to believe Tionori does all in his power to persuade Natives from selling. If the Government look upon the money advanced to Ngatai as a premium for the cession of such land as may hereafter be obtained, well and good ; otherwise his share would not be £50.

These advances also contributed towards placing me in a false position with the Natives. They look upon offering land to ma as an unnecessary step, only causing delay in the payment of what money may be advanced ; they are also more inclined to believe the statements made by Natives whom I may have had occasion to thwart or oppose in any way. The Government cannot expect me to succeed in purchasing land, especially in a disaffected district, if the Natives see that the power of recommending the proper persons to receive payment is taken out of my hands. A Native presenting himself at the Native Department to ask for an advance is a very different being when ho returns to have his land surveyed, or, having been disappointed in getting money, to give as much trouble as ho can. The Natives talk sometimes as if it were a personal favour letting me survey.

The Ngatimaru have desired me to state, to the Government that, as they put in a claim for their land at Waibeko, and received intimation from the Government to the effect that care would be taken to give them due warning when due payment was to be made for.that island, they look to the Govern- ment for payment, as their claims seem to have been overlooked. This, and one or two other points on which they are sore, tend to strengthen their disposition to retain their land.

My time is fully taken up by disputes and complaints that I am obliged to listen to, as I cannot get away from them.

The extract from my diary I forward to-morrow, as 'the vessel is to start, and I have r.ot time to complete it.

I have, &o.,

, Thanes.—To avoid purchasing small anti disconnected Blocks;

Native Laud Purchase Office,

Era,— Auckland, 20th September, 1858.

With reference to your letter of the 81st August last, reporting negotiations for the acquisition of fresh blocks of land in your district, I have the honor, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, to request that you will complete the survey and purchase of the blocks on which you made advances in Auckland, at the time the Plaice Block wes paid for ; which blocks should be, as far as possible, finally settled before entering into negotiations for fresh purcohnses.

It is not the wish of the Government to acquire land in small blocks ; on the contrary, such purchases should be carefully avoided, excepting in cases when they are likely to lead to the sale of large tracts of country. •

I am further directed to inform you that His Excellency objects to the purchase of isolated blocks detached from the land already acqtured, unless such acquisitions are make with a view of connecting several purchases in a district into one largo block, that may be eventually available for European settlement on an extended scale.

I have, &o.,

Thanes.—Respecting Land Offers.

stile\_ To Kerepehi, 29th October, 1859.

I have the honor to state for the information of the Government, that I reached Wei Aro, Te Moannnui'a Settlement, on the 2nd instont. Te Moananui and his party have offered to cede their land on the west bank of the 1Vaitoa. I mil form no idea of the extent until i have seen the Ngati. werowere, at Pakarno, who own the adjoining land. I consider it highly advisable that the Government should avail themselves of this offer, as the sale of land iu that part of the country will inevitably lead to other purchases. To Moananui, who took the most active part in stopping the sale of land in the Wailiou, on account of the advance made to Ngatae, is now ready to sell. To Him Kako will withdraw his opposition, and the Natives residing in the Waihou have only been deterred from selling by their fear of the Ngatitamatera.

Amongst the Ngatimaru there are a good many who aro anxious to sell their claims, but they are opposed by the others, who maintain that no individual claims shall be sold without the consent of the whole tribe ; not that the tribe have any right to the land, but because such sale may compel them eventually to sell the adjoining claims.

Under the present system of opposition to sale of laud, especially amongst the Ngatimaru, I would recommend the acquisition of all claims offered to the Government, especially with river frontages to the Waihou.

As long as the claim is not too small, the adjoining claims would soon be offered for sale, and I think iu a very short time a frontage of from tan to fifteen miles would be acquired on the west bank of the Waihou, with an average depth of two miles. There is not the slightest possibility of any largo block being offered for sale near the mouth of the Wallin, and those Natives who are now willing to sell their claims, would in all probability make the strongest opposition ware laud offered for sale there, at any future time, unless their right to sell is recognized

The Ngatitamatera aro to meet in the Waihou, about the middle of December, when they will enter into negotiations for land in that part of the country. In the Waihou, much time necessarily elapses before anything can be settled finally about the land, the claimants living so far apart ; and in the present instance, the sale of land having been altogether put a stop to by general consent, they must all re-assemble to remove the restriction.

I expect some of the Ngatipaoa in a few days, when I hope I may be enabled to take further steps towards consolidating the Piako Block.

Taraia has again spoken of.some land ho wishes to cede on the cast bank of the Wairoa. I have arranged to go there with him, on my return to Auckland.

The above-mentioned boundaries give au approximate area of Six hundred thousand (000,000) acres as the extent over which purchases may be effected.

One third of the area to be deducted as not available, such as the wooded ranges, and part of the swamps, leaves available land 400,000 acres.

Out of this quantity, the Native title would• be extinguished over 72,800 acres, inclusive of land already purchased, as soon as ngotiations are recommenced.

18.000 acres of land were bought and finally paid for during the year ending June, 1880.

9,000 acres were surveyed during the same year; as the rest of the land purchased adjoined land already surveyed, there were data enough to ascertain the area. The average price was ls. 10d. per acre. The land is of fair average queliq • and, by purchasing blocks in different parts of the district, the peculiar distribution of the claims of different tribes renders the cession of the intervening land a certainty.

14,000 acres are under negotiation • the sum of 2820 has been paid on this land, when the final payments are made, the average price Will be ls. 8d. per acre. Several contiguous blocks have been offered, amounting in all to 40,000 acres. No negotiations have been as yet commenced, but there is reason to believe that this land will be acquired at the rate of Is. per acre.

The laud within the boundaries already mentioned is owned and occupied by five distinct tribes, who hold the laud from their ancestors by right of conquest. There are also numerous remnants of the original possessors of the soil scattered throughout the district, and occupying a subordinate position with reference to the other tribes.

One tribe alone utterly refuses to part with their land. Their claims are not extensive, but are scattered throughout the district. The objections raised by the other tribes to the sale of the land are merely questions of price ; they not finding the price in some instances an adequate compensation for what, they consider the greatest sacrifice they can make, namely, the total surrender of their laud.

Tins district, having been the battle-field of numerous tribes for a period of about seven hundred years, every spot of ground is more or less associated in the minds of the Natives with their ancestry. Not a name but recth vividly to the Native mind some part of his own family history, and however trivial it may appear to anyone else, it is in the eyes of a Native almost sacrilege to part with land which is to him a family record.

The fivo distinct tribes occupying the district—their constant feuds, with various success, durirtir a long course of years ; their intermarriages, and the lines of collateral descent resulting therefrom ; the debateable laud on the boundary lines between the lands of tribes ; the decline of the Maori feudal system ; the growing jealousy between the tribes holding the land and the descendants of the original• owners of the soil, who have been in the position of vassals, but who now, under the effects of British rule, attempt to resume rights which they forfeited generations ago :.—all these different causes tend to create a complication of title which increases every day, and to render all investigations unusually intricate and tedious. ,

The system of giving Crown grants for Native reserves has not been as yet iutroduced in this district, the small blocks of land so called having been reserved by the Natives, and aro held under Native title.

The only part of this district at present available for land purol.. is a tract of land extending from the mouths of the %thou and bake, 85 miles in a southerly dir..n.ion, bounded on the west by the wooded range between Waikato and Make, on the oast by the coast lino between Tairua end Taurauga.

The land to the south of this tract is in the hands of tribes who are thoroughly opposed to the sale of land.

The boundaries already mentioned contain an approximate area of 600,000 acres, which will represent the extent over which purchases may be effected.

Of this, the total acreage of land over which the Native title has been extinguished, land still under negotiatiou, and lautt offered, but for which negotiations have not yet been commenced, is 108,500 acres.

One-third of the area to be deducted u not available, such as the wooded ranges and part of the swamps, leaves available land 400,000 scree.

Out of this quanti, as soon as negotiations are reoommenced, the title would be extinguished over available land, inclusive of blocks already purchased, to the extent of 72,800 sores.

The tribes who own this land Ire Ngatipaos, Ngatitamateni, Ngetiwhanaungs, Ngatimarn, and Ngatikarana.

The negotiating for land purchase have been hitherto confined almost entirely to Ngetipaos and Ngatitamatera.

The last land offered to the Government belongs to Ngatiwbanautiga and Ngatikarana. Ngatimaru alone utterly refuse to part with their land. Their claims are not extensive, but are scattered throughout the district.

With regard to the other tribes; the only objections raised by them are mere questions of Aries, as they do not find the price in some instances an adequate compensation for what they look upon as the greatest sacrifice they can make, namely, total surrender of their land.

The tribes in this district in former years were constantly at feud with each other ; this, combined with their subsequent intermarriages, has rendered the title in many instances almost hopelessly intricate. The few scattered remnants of the original owners of the soil, who have till of late years been in the position of serfs, now frequently attempt to reassert their right to the land, in defiance of the chiefs' right of conquest; and as they have to be referred to concerning boundaries, and when the title is obscure, it requires considerable caution to avoid exciting the jealousy of the chiefs, while conciliating the vassals.

Theaumerons small claims into which the land is sub-divided, and which frequently have to be treated for separately ; the irregular boundaries, which bring the lands straggling into each other, often entailing the necessity of dealing with 'two tribes at once, a proceeding awry' hazardous, and not =frequently fatal to the success of a negotiation : all tend to increase the difficulties, and render the negotiations unusually tedious. The title to land in this district is becoming more ccmplicated every year ; in some eases the Natives are in perfect ignorance of the real state of their title, until it is investigated as connected with land purchasing operations.

The Natives still evince the same disposition to sell, induced in many instances by the dread of their land passing away after their death into the hands of other Natives who are but slightly, if at all, connected with them. This is the case with the block offered by Ngatawa Pahan, where there are no direct heirs, and where the owners are dying off rapidly.

With reference to iriy difficulties that exist in the district with regard to any particular block, that of longest standing is • claim made by Ngatipango to some Iand included in the western bounbuy of the Fiske Block at Kavrau-tohe-roa and Tirohanga. The claim was not made until long after all negotiations were concluded, and though the relatives who made the claim were close at hand, and repeatedly sent for during the time that the boundaries were being determined, they neither made the slightest protest, nor did they comply in any way with the invitations sent to them to be present. The claim most certainly was not a valid one ; the strongest point in it was vague title by descent in the female line. The alteration it would have made in the boundary was immaterial, but it was opposed firmly, as it was evidently one of the first attempts of the Anti-land-selling League to interfere in land purchase. The Nptipango have not entirely given up their point ; the question was left to be settled between themselves and Ngatipaoa who sold the land.

In carrying out instructions to consolidate the purchases on the Piako, the great difficulty consists in the Native Reserve known as Te Tikon, where the bones of several tribes are buried. The objections on the part of the Natives to the sale of this reserve have been removed, but the District Commissioner having been detached to Taranaki in August, 1860, and no operations having been carried on since in the district, the negotiation was never completed.

The determination expressed by the Natives to confine all salmi of land to the west bank of the Make has been cancelled ; the land at the fork of the Waitoa and Piako having been ceded, and a block purchased on the east bank of the Piako, which connects the Piako with the Waihou land. It will be found of the utmost advantage in £ district constituted as this is, to push purchases wherever it is practicable, so as to cross the country from river to river, or from the river to the coast line. It will be seen eventually\_ that by this means the acquisition of the land between Piako and Weihou, Waitoa and Waihon, aihou and the sea coast, will be greatly facilitated.

The land on the upper Widths, which is for the most part excellent land, and to the sale of which , all the Natives concerned objected st one time most strongly, has been opened up, and when land purchasing operations are recommenced,* the land between the Wsitoa and Wathou will be ceded. The difficulties connected with land purchase op the Whites wore caused by Peers Te Putu's oppoai- tion, arising partly from a wish not to sell land in that part of the country, and partly from jealousy that he had not taken the initiative. Paors Te Puts having died, and his successor not being in the hands of those who had great influence over him, will render the negotiations for land far simpler.

Tarais also threw many difficulties in the way, at fhb same time that he pretended to advocate hind purchase, but as all his opposition was grounded on Peons Te Putu's objections, he will now side with Ts Moans Nui entirely.

The District Commissioner having been ordered away suddenly in August, 1860, the Natives connected with the sale of a block of land on the east bank of the Whites, took advantage of his absent* to refuse to sign the deed, on the score that the payment was not sufficient. The objection was raised by a section of the tribe who owned a very small portion of the block. Arrangements have since been made with the principal claimants amongst them to cede the whole of their lands on the Waitoa. This will remove the objection referred to, as the Natives who refuse the price of a hundred aorta at one shilling or two shillings per acre will make no difficulty about selling .a thousand acres it the same rate. Where there are a great number of claimants, the payment, except in the eases of a few fortunate individuals, who, by the death of nearly all their relations, have become the proprietors of the land of

107 107

331i

nearly a whole Baps; excepting in cases such as those, the payment is subdivided into such small snms that the Maori, deriving very slight tangible benefit, rarely any of lasting effect, and not being able to I-tok forward to the future advantages to be derived from having the wild lands occupied, is sure to become more or less dissatisfied with the sale of land. It is not uufrequently the case that ilia Natives with the smallest claim will upset a negotiation ; they aro always the most troublesome.

Again, however small the extent of a Natives claim, before the land is alienated he is always accustomed to view the whole tract as his, as far as occupying spots hero and there for'plantations, pig-runs, and fisheries; not that he claims a right over tho slightest portion that does not belong to him by inheritance, but he is well aware that, unless from some cause or other he is a marked man, ho will always obtain permission from the different proprietors amongst his own tribe. The lands owned by the different, /tapas or sections are quite distinct iu the title, and frequently there are distinct subdivisions again in ono hapu or section. Of course, through marriage individuals may become possessed of collateral claims in several hapur. If a hapu, or section of a tribe, wish to cede their land, they will rarely meet with any decided opposition from the tribe, unless the land of such hapu bo situated in the very heart of laud not yet ceded to the Government, or as part of the system pursued by theJand-league to put a stop to sale of land. Any portion of a hapu wishing to bell their land aro never interfered with, where their land adjoins a block already coded.

In no instance in the district has anything approaching to what is termed tribal rights been attempted, except as immediately connected with the opposition of the land league, and then on one occasion only ; this case also the strongest plea used by the opposition was that it was a very lima!l block to be coded in the midst of lands not yet offered oven to the Government. Setting aside. the apparent indifference of the Native to his land being occupied temporarily, or any other property that cannot bo removed without his knowledge being used by others, they, of course, having first obtained permission to do so, there is perhaps no race in the wodd more alive to, or more tenaci.:Lor in asserting, their proprietary rights, and more ready to resent the interference of the tribe, unless it be. to support him, than the Maori.

The land on the Upper Waihou will, from its constantly havina boon occupied by Whakatohsa and Ngatikoi, be found more difficult to treat for than other parts of the district. The two above-mentioned tribes, descendants of the original owners of most of tho land on both banks of the Waihou, were dispossessed by the N,gatitamatern and Ngatimaru, and left for ninny years in occupation as vassals, paying the tribute usual amongst Nausea in such Cases. Their attempts of late years to ignore their relative position with regard to tire conquering tribes have led, and will continua to lead, to disputes that require great caution, ns well as a thorough local knowledge of the Natives, their genealogy, and the boundaries. of the land, in order to 'adjust them when caused by negotiations for land purchases.*

The disputes about a belt of land between the west bank of the Waihou and To Awaiti arise from this cause ; in some few instances the boundaries iu the forest aro lost, the men who could have given information on the subject having died. Te Hire Hakes dispute about To Rangiora, and his subsequent refusal to sell land, arose through Ngatipaoa having included a considerable extent of Nga- titamatera land in the block ceded by them for money paid in about 1854.

A section of the same tribe known as Te Urikaraka, amongst whom Ngatai, Wiremu Hoete, and To Iluinga took a leading part, having obtained an advance of tGOO for a tract of land iu which Ngatai alone had any claim, And that an inconsiderable one, were the means of putting n stop to all /and purchasing operations in the Wailiou for a time.'

With the exception of three chiefs, the tribe of Ngatipnon have no interest whatever in any land on the Waihou. After a year or more had elapsed, the Wailiou land was again opened for land purchase by employing Tanumelia To Moauanui's influence ; and there is no doubt that, with proper care in conducting the negotiations, tire Government could, acquire as much land in this district as might be desirable. There will bo some opposition on the part of Hotcrene Taipari and others to the sale of the block offered by Ngatawa Pahau and To Hapthana, ou the east bank of the Wailiou. Ngatawa is supported, and his undoubted title to the land recognised, by Ngatiwhanaunga of Whore- kawn and Walau, who, as well as Ngatikarnun, propose ceding a large tract contiguous to the block offered by Ngatawa. To Iloterene's objections aro that some land of his adjoins that offered by Ngatawn, and adds the usual cry of the Laud Leage that the laud shall not be sold. Te Hoterone has attached himself for the last three years to the Maori party, and is a strong partizan of the Land League, endeavouring thereby to regain his waning influence as a chief.

To Kapibana, Ngatawa Pahnu, and their party have no direct heirs, the hapu is dying out rapidly, and the Natives concerned in the opposition, hope to establish some claim to the land, when the present owners are extinct.

Amongst the Natives who stand up for the Land League, and insist upon its being carried out. in this district, there aro two classes ; the largo land ,owners, who have not, and will not for the present at any rate, cede ono acre ; and the tribes termed Mammy by the Natives. Those aro tribes or sections of tribes, who, either owning land in some part of the ccuntry where they do not choose to reside, or having no distinct title to any laud whatever, obtain, permission from other tribes to occupy their land ; and having done so for some tow generations, aro naturally anxious to put a' stop, to land purchase, lest the tribe on whose lands they are residing should *be induced to resume occupation of the Land on which the Afanene had obtained permission to stop.

The Manene were not exactly looked upon as vassals, but when the tribe owning the soil was a• powerful one, the position of the Marlene was, in point of fact, very little better than rant of a vassal.

Scrrz.--This feeling Is canted mainly, of 'course, from the old Maori custom of chid and slave dying out under the effects of British rule; but it also was strengthened by the land being sold previous to land purchases having been made; and for Nome timerkfter they had oonuneneod, the Maori never realized the parting with his land for ever. Wrested fron him for a time by a alrondor tribe, he always looked forward to some future day weal he might be r.instated; and there Is no doubt that al: is one of the canoes of the disputes arising out of old land claims.

In all cases, however, the one expected and- received from the other some sort of feudal service. Instances of the Marlene acquiring any title to the land 1..n which ho had beau residing aro extremely raze ; and it would on17 be after many inter-marriages, and a long course of years, that the stranger's Claim would be entertained at all ; inheritance to land was the only thing ho could not share in with the tribe ho bad been received into, unless, having distinguished himself in battle, ho was adopted by One of the chiefs owning the land. At all times, however, his burial ground would ho sacred, but hie ' tight to these spots only lasted while the. bones lay there ; the hahunqn once performed, the pure Olden, his right vanished. •

Where the tribe owning the soil diniinishad'in numbers, and incorporated the et•rangers•amongst iheni for mutual safety under the general name of the whole tribe, the case was modified, but the dole wasadhered to in all its principal points; the first fruits of the land allotted to the new section of the tribe were looked for, and received by the others, and it was only when the Maori feudal system began to die out that the complication of title commended, which is fast tending to render all investigation almost hopeless. The chiefs find their influence a thing that has past, unless exerted for mischief; the Menem, and the conquered tribes, ignore the position they have held with regard to the hereditary owners of the soil and the conquering tribes ; the ono assuming a right they never possessed ; the others, quietly reassuming the position they forfeited some three or four hundred years ago, ask why their rights are not recognized. With those conflicting influences, and the informatiou concerning titles and boundaries, all oral of course, being lost from time to time through deaths, it is evident that no time should be lost in ascertaining the titles and fixing the boundaries, before the complication increases.

A very short time suffices to create most important changes with regard to the title to the land. A Native, the solo survivor of a halm, is anxious to sell ; ho has no heirs, his connections aro all equally distantly related to him ; if he dies before his offer is taken into consideration, or before pogotiations arc commenced, the one claimant to be treated with becomes multiplied into ten or twenty, all equally interested in the land, and each claiming the whole of it. If the land had been sold before hie death, these numerous claimants would have received a very small portion of the payment, if any, from him ; nor would they have thought of urging their claims ; they would receive the payment as in aCknowledgemeut of common descent from some distant ancestor, and not as a right. The only other dispute out of which claims may arise hereafter, is that which took place concerning two or-three small blocks on the Piako, near the mouth of that river. One of the blocks is known as Kohntuanon. This land was offered by Kelm and Ngatipelii. and .A sum of money paid to them as an advance on the land, in 1854. It appears that this money was shared by Kelm and his own party, Ngakapa Mallirewera, of Ngatiwhanaunga and Ifori Pokei To Beluga, since dead, who •received the lion's share. When the title was investigated in 1856-87, the sale was opposed by To Aperabama Wharcrurutu and Ngatimaru. Keith was unable to make out any better title than that he inherited from his ancestor Weitaba, who was dispossessed by Ngatiuntru and driven away, and that he had lived on the land in question for many years.

After Ngatimaru had driven Waitalia away, a section of the tribe were allowed to remain in occupation, paying tribute. Intermarriages took place between. them and their conquerors ; the chiofe taking the vassals' women as wives. From ouo of these interinarriages Wharcrurntu is descended ; find Keha,—disowning his own former position as a vassal,—maintained that Wharerurutu could not,

on that account, inherit ; descent iu the female line not being considered a good Lk J.*. Keha's plea • would have held good had it not been for the position his ancestors wore placed in as vassals to Ngatimaru ; in fact, he himself was in the same position, and it is only some thirty years since he withdrew with his party to a small piece of land that they own at Pukorokoro, cud attached himself to llori Pokai's party.

Whareruruta and Keha were told that the matter would not be proceeded with for the time being.

Subsequently, Ngakapa—thinking that, as he had received a part of the money, the opposition of Ngatimaru was a slight to himself—insisted on coding land !or what he had received; ho offered to do so, either at the Native settlement, at To Kerepehi ou the Flake, or at Kawaeranga. Niwha and Ngatiwhanaunga were prepared to support him unless Ngatimaru withdrew' their ri•position to the sale of Rehatuanoa. Fooling convinced that Wharerarutu's opposition was well founi.e.d, and that ' Kelia's title was not at all clear, and not wishing to entail any disturbance between Ngatiwhanaunga and Ngatimaru, it was recommended that Ngakapa should, under the circumstances, bo allowed to repay the money received by him to the Government. This advance made to Kelm was eventually of service, as the investigations to which it gave rise wore- the means of elucidating information of importance with reference to title and Lou/Wary of other blocks. liori.Pokai never gave any land for the money he received, Kelm having most likely paid him the money as one whose influence would assist him. The money that fell to the share of Kelm and his party, it was proposed should be considered as payment for their land at Pukerokoro, but they own no other land than that they reside on.

Keha is dead, and Paraono, Karamaina, and To lloanaroa still assert that they have coded Kohatuanoa with a good title.

The assurances given to the Natives of the district, when negotiations wore commenced in 1856, were as follows :— . • •

That no land would be purchased Without ample notice being given, so as to afford every one who wished an opportunity of asserting his claim, and of protesting against the sale if there were good grounds for doing so ; that on-no account whatever would villages or homesteads be included in any purchase, without the consent of the occupants, and then only if provision could he made elsewhere ; - that no offer would ho entertained if it appeared that the Natives offering the land had not reserved a sufficient quantity for their own purposes.

This lad assurance was made to meet thteopossibli objection in the case of a hops, triahing to sell their land, that they would sell all they bad, and fall beck on the land of the other lisps. for purposes of cultivation. Al the same time the Natives were told distinctly that U any Natives, how-

ever few, could prove a sound to bind which t/i wished to sell, the offer would be entertained ;

and of that it °posed by the tribe ot no better green than that the land should not be sold, yeah opposition wield carry no weight with it; also, in the ease the whole tribe being concerned in the offer, some few individuals alone &miming, their title would be thoroughly investigated, and their sights respected, however much the tribe might insist otherwise.

They were also told that while the rights of the chiefs holding land, au the conquerors, would be always carried out where there was no injustice in doing so, the interests of the Natives in an intrkr position would be strictly looked after. .

These is no doubt that the gradual opening up of the district into be attributed to the atrial observance in all cases of the foregoing promisee. In a district constituted as this is, where there k

strong opposition on the part of some Natives to the cession of any land whatever, without reftunM. In detail to the different grounds for such opposition, it is desirable and necessary to, encourage and support all those who wish to cede land 'nth a good title, and to form them into a party that will have sufficient weight and influence to Carry their point without entailing serious disputes. If this were not done, the apposition would often intimidate • small body of Natives who were CI a right they undoubtedly possessed. This refers particularly to the case of Aspen or sections of having dwindled away, and being tyrannized over by the rest of the tribe, when desirous of selling their laud.

This plan has been carried out as far as possible in the district, and has oontributed greatly;and will continue to do so, to the acquisition of land ,in this district. As yet the. Native disturbenoe has not affected the land-purchasing operations in this district as far es the Natives are concerned ; and there is no evasion to surmise as to what would be the result of further hostilities.

The land finally bought and paid for in the year ending June, 1880, amounted to 18,000 sores.

The land surveyed during the same year amounted to 9,000 acres. The rest of the land pup. chaffed adjoining land already surveyed there were data enough for obtaining the area; the average price was ls. 10kl. per acre.

Ile land itself is of fair average value, and a most important point has been gained by chasing in different parte of the district ;. the cession by the Natives of the /Fester part of the land between such purchases being a certainty. The land under negotiation contains 14,000 acres. The sum of 1,820 has been advanced on this land; when the final payments are made, the land will bare an average cost of is. 8d. per acre.

40,000 acres have been offered in several contiguous blocks. No negotiations have as yet been commenced, but there is reason to believe that this land will be acquired at the rate of is. per sure.

From the nature of the district, the manner in which the tribes are scattered throughout it, the complication consequent on five distinct tribes having fought against each other with 11181008 snooks sell through the district, their inter-marriages, t4 lines of collateral descent resulting therefrom, the intricate nature of the title, even in a single section n of a tribe, the conflicting influences of the eonquarore and conquered, chiefs and vassals, all these require, in order to ensure encomia in the negotianon of land purchases, that the District Commissioner should devote himself entirely to the necessary investigation of title and boindery. This will always entail, as it already has done, frequent visits to the umt settlements before the Natives can be assembled, and every exertion is often needed to ensure the presence of a chief, or chiefs, who may act an important part in the cession, yet have but meagre expectation personally as to the payment. Two or more large meetings are requisite under the most favourable circumstances to conclude a negotiation for land.

The Natives have idle time at certain seasons of the year ; and these favourable cipporkrities mast be taken advantage of to assemble the large meetings, otherwise an incurable grievance N;014, be established by making the sale of land entail neglect of their agricultural pursuits.

During the months that the Natives are occupied in putting in their crops, the settlements can be visited, and all information collected from the different haps% and the land belonging to lamas treated for separet;ly, as is often requisite.

From this it M be seen that the District Commissioner cannot at the same time negotiate purchase of land and survey boundaries without sacrificing one duty to the other.

In general the different blocks purchased so ensure the cession of the adjacent land that a survey is hardly requite until a large tract be acquired, the boundaries being always so defined and roughly marked off as to be readily recognised when it is desirable to utakt a regular survey.

I have the ho to inform you that, in obedience to your instructions, dated Waips, July 9th, I proceeded from thence to' Kitikitiro, to obtain a party of the Nratihaus Natives, and point out and mark the bounds-ies of the land I was directed to survey at Piako.

The unreasonable demands of the Natives delayed me there several days, but on Monday, the 18th, .I was enabled to start with five men, to whom I agreed to pay five go per day each ; a sixth subsequently edded himself to the party.

On Thursday we arrived at Hangawera, and proceeded immediately to perambulate the land. For the purpse of survey I considered it sufficient to chain the front or east boundary, it being in the plain, and the principal point in the back -boundary on the mountain being satisfactorily fixed by bump.

The block contains about 4,000 acres, and is situated on the eastern slope of the Hanpwera Mountain. It is bounded at the back or west by straight lines from points on the spur of the mountab+, all which have been carefully marked and correctly fixed on the plan. These lines cross several steep gullies, which are thickly wooded higher up.

The southern boundary as the Stream Mangshaumia ; the west boundary meeting the river immediately above a raniriri, or eel-weir ; the east boundary runs in a crooked line along the undulating land, about 11 mile from the River Piako,•across several deep swamps and streams, to a ridge 780 links to the north-west of the River Huruhuru; and the northern boundary is a straight line from thence tolhe northern extremity of the west boundary, on a lofty bill on the north side of the gully of the Huruhura.

The quality of the land is, on the whole, pretty good, the loam part being level, with a good though light soil, covered with fern and small mannka, which has been everywhere burnt ; nearer the hill it is sandy and poor. But the greatest defect is the want of wood, of which there is absolutely none ; and without the land between it and the River Piako, the block is, of course, unacceptable and worthless.

The latter block, however, is that which Pita has, in the letter I conveyed to you, offered to sell to the Government, and accordingly I have roughly ascertained its dimensions, and delineated it on the plan. It abate on the Ruibauriki, which the Natives assert to .be Webster's southern boundary, and up to which the land has been surveyed. It contains a small portion of forest (a few acres in a-gully at its western extremity), and is of very good quality. •

Mr. COMMISSION= Mr to the Cater Counisszonms.
Piako—Rsporring as to ha Proms:fags.

Auckland, 21st October, 1857.

I have the honor to state for your infounation, with regard to the land on the Piako, u follows :—

On the 21st May last the Ngatipaoa and znyaolf reached Mankoro. After three or foar days' talk, I commenced worL The Natives, one and all, denied over having consented to sell the river frontage, which, by the way, is scarce17 available till you reach Meeker°, stating also that on several occasions they had made their determination not to part with their eel swamps on the river frontag.s. I found it would be a mere waste of time to press the matter, so I proceeded with the surrey. The piece of land called Tikou, for which money was paid to Takupn, was claimed by To Matete, who told mo that he had already objected to this purchase when in Auckland. Commencing at the northern end of the survey, and following the eastern boundary southwards, the first reserve made by the Natives consists of about forty acres, commencing at To Pae.ros, and ending at Iterepangongo, in eluding a burial ground.

Further on, at Te Ratohne, a reserve was made by Tipa, but subsequently he told me to include it in the survey. • • •

At Pouriri Creek, the reserve by Te Matote and others begins, extending to where the eastern boundary meets the Piako at Te Areui ri, and amounting to three thousand (3,000) acres, of which one-third, perhaps, is available for Native cultivation.

V ith regard to Webster 's purchase, all that I could do amounted to nothing, as I had ea names to go by with regard to boundaries, and a long time has elapsed since the per:Ipso, moreover, the Ngatimuhea—wfin, as vassals of tho Ngatipaoa, at the time of the purchase by Webster, did not then dare to say anything—havo now, from the decline of the influence of the chiefs, come forward and denied the sale of the frontage from Maukoro to Angapunga (stated to have been purchased by Webster), and declare his eastern boundary to bo that laid down in the accompanying plan.; I have also shown in this plan what they state to hare been his western or back honna. In consequence of the facts above stated, and from the frontage io the river having been supposed to be twice its actual length, the purchase mado by Mr. Webster turns out to be only about 8000 acres. I have worked up to the Waikato boundary, from To Pakohati to To Palma. There remains at the northern end of the block about 2,000 or more acres, which, if purchased, would work up to the Ngatinvirn boundary. This has been offered to mo by the Natives, Its well as the small reserve made b: the Ngatirougo at To Noma, but as yet.I ham not seen all those concerned in it.

At tho Southern extremity there remains from four to five thousand acres (4,000 to 5,000 acres) of desirable land, which, if purchased, would work up to the 'Waikato and Ngatihana boundary and extinguish the Ngetipane claims on the Piako, with the exception of a small piece South of To Bin o Hauraki. belonging to Macre, and which ho refused to have included in the survey. The land about the Waikuku and Pouriri Creeks, and from To Moire to Mangahuna, is excellent; it is also good on the Mangawhara ; the fern ranges I found, generally, speaking, to be a better description of soil than usual.' The fact of old burying grounds being scattered about from To Pukciti westwards to To Weal Creek has prevented the Natives from selling the four or five thousand (4,000 or 5,000) acres I have already spoken of at present, as any now negotiations, until the bones have been collected and removed, wou1.1 bring down too many claimants to suit the, purpose of the actual, owners of the laud.

The land offered by Keha near the Ecrepchi, and for which he bad received money, I deemed advisable to leave alone, on account of strong opposition on the part of Wharcratutu (To Aperahama) and others.

In the Thames, I surveyed the land sold as Hotungaio and Hotukiwi. Two Natives, Tukukino and Wiremn, of tho Whalcatolica, had boon deputed by the Ngatipaoa to mark off the boundaries—as, in point of fact those of the Ngatipaos, who claimed the land, know but very little about it beyond baring heard ono or two of the names.

Hahatipounamn I did not survey, owing to a disputed boundary, and the Natives did not choose to attend to settle the question ; the objection was raised by To Manpu (Tampa).

The land offered by To Harapa, and for which bo has received money, I left alone till tho weather

silts more favourable. Koupu is hardly worth surveying, unless the land offered me at the back be purchased ; though only a very small block, of some three or four hundred acres, still it is good land ; and, in my opinion, desirable that it should be purchased. I arrived in Auckland about the middle of August last. I have,

83111,1•• Auckland, 11th November, 1857.

I should wish to call the attention of the Government to the following facts, from which have arisen the delay and difilculty,in settling the Piako qtiOntion.

They have refused the sum offered yesterday (U0) because they did not consider it truSident and also bemuse they Maintain that mine payment ought to be made tq the Govt vet On anboitet of Webster's Melia*.

I may observe that the sum promised by Webster was live times the amount pill by him; it is needless to slate that the prowl's wee not kept.

In parting with the'Piako Block it must be borne in mind that in doing so the tiptipsini Natives almost extinguished their claim in that district, and consequently lose their influence for which money - even for larger amount than that offered to them would be no remuneration, as on no point do they feel so strongly as on this.

The principal mover amongst those who will not come to terms is Te Wi, son of Te Hoehoe, and by right of descent the bridal chieftain of the residents on the land ; he feels that it be sells the land, his vassals will be independent of him, his inflaenee diminished, and himself lowered in rank. I think the Government would do well to look at this purchase as • matter of policy not at so much per sore. I would add also that the Natives feel painfully that having in 1854 given 1550 in advance on their land, we appear to be driving them into a corner to force our own prim urn' them for land which they value more highly on account of its being their entire claim in that distnot.

If the Governor would authorize me giving as high as 11000 I would make the best terms I could with them. • I have, &O.,

Piako—Reporting on Server 4nd Negotiations.

Auckland, 18th December, 1857.

I have the honor of forwarding for your information the following report of my sun and purchases on the Piako and Thames ; attached to this report is a copy of my diary from the time I left Auckland until my return. On my arrival at Maukoro, on the Piako, I found, the residents on the block (Ngatiranhee, formerly -vassals of the /*tiptoe) prepared to assert their right, not only to sell land on their own account, but to retain all land belonging to them that had been sold to Webster 'without their consent, and without their sharing in the payment. The Natives dispute a good deal amongst' themselves, one of the bones of contention being the frontage to the River Piako. In almost all the receipts for instalments on land on the Piako the River Pirko is named as the eastern boundary, but now they one and all denied and ridiculed the idea of their ever having sold the land right down to the river, especially while the old claim had been so long unsettled meaning Webster's). I found that my insisting on the fulfilment of their agreement with to boundaries would, as far as the River Plait* was concerned, be mere waste of time.

proceeded with the survey. On referring to the plan, it will be seen that there are two small reserves north of the Wei/lake ; these were unavoidable at the time, as opposition often makes & Native more obstinste.(1 have since purchased the adjoining land, and with it the reserves.) At Ponriuri allthe land east of the surveyor's line was reserved by the Natives on amount of burial places, concerning the removal of which they could not agree, and also in order • to retain sudicient far the resident Natives (Ngatirauhea) to occupy. I had one continued discussion with the Natives with regard to Webster's claims, but they were always most consistent in ignoring entirely the boundaries as laid down in any documents to, which I had access. From all that I have seen, I am inclined to think that the Natives are in the right, at any rate far more so than the European, in this instance. The ladd included in Webster's claim that was retained by them south of Pouriuri amounts to shoufthree thowand acres (8,000 acres) ; out of' this I have since purchased and paid for finally about twelve hundred acres (1,200 acres) ; the river frontage in the bleat surveyed begins where the surveyor's line meets the river. beyond T. Arsiriri. The last mentioned mass. btu*. the frontage nearly two miles further north. Another reserve at the south-west end keereen Hangmen, and Te Puked, mid extending towards Walkato, Was also made on amount of burial grounds that the Natives could arrive at ad understanding about. This reserve contains about 14000 iteresithe creek called Ts Weill. about 2,000 or 8,000 acres bate been reserved. Two pars of the 'ot having been the debateable ground brines* Ngatipeoa and Waikato, the burial grounds are more plentiful than elsewhere ; however, the chief objection to sell these consecrated spot., is the number of claimants who would rise up, Lot because theYind any right to the land, but because they were distantly related to some of the bones. I shall however in all probability pnióham

all the land during the Emmert i

and with the exception of a small reserve at Mankoro for the Ngati- rauhea, thoroughly extinguish the Ngatipaoa claim n that kart of the countg. From Ts Tole to Te palms, on the western boundary, the land is purchased right up to the Waikato boundary. For further information I refer you to the plan.

All the land north of the boundary of the block in• question, has been purchased by me since the survey This land extends on the west to the Waikato boundary, on the north to the Ngatimare boundary, , and on the east to the river Fiske, taking in the two small reserves at Waikaka. I do not find the Natives either anxious to sell, or thoroughly averse to doing so. I do not know exactly what the feeling is amongst the Ngatlana, but I look forward to having as much work as I can get through. It will be borne in mind that my district is not one with only one or two large tribes ; but that the Talley of the Thames, and Piako especially, and the neighbourhood, has. been the battle field of some six or seven tribes for ten generations, consequently the claims of different tribes become so mixed up and intricate that it requires a great deal more time and careful enquiry than Ordinary purchases, and for the same reason the land is subdivided into smaller blocks. It is my opinion that where the Government has an opportunity of extinguishing the Native title satisfactorily, where that title is intricate and involves two or more tribes, it should be done however small the block.

Bra,— Piako, 80th November, 1859.

In forwarding the enclosed sketch of the different blocks, the negotiation for which! submit for the sanction of Ms Excellency the Governor, together with the requisition, for the sums necessary to bring the negotiations to a successful issue, I have the honor to remark, as follows, for the consideration of His Excellency.

Without reference to the difficulties which always arise from the different claimants opposing each other, there is a general feeling prevelent amongst the Maoris that the sale of land is anything but a profitable transaction for-them, and this has greatly increased since some Europeans have leased or attempted to lease runs in this district.

There le also much to contend with from the indirect influence of the Ngaruawahia (Maori King)

The system of handing over the land to be held in treat by the Ngarnawahia Rananga has obtained greatly of late in my district. In one or two instances I have succeeded in preventinga tract of land from being handed over. As matters are at present, once the land is in the hands of the Ngarnawabia party, there is not the slightest probability of purchasing.

' I would call the attention of the Government to the necessity of acquiring all the land they can in this district as soon as possible. Every offer of land with a good title increases the probability of further purchases, if accepted, whereas, if refused on account of small extent, such land may never be offered again, and may perhaps interfere with the successful negotiation for purchase of the adjacent land when offered for sale at some future time.

I do not advocate the purchase of every small patch of land that a Native may wish to sell, but As I have frequently had occasion to state, there are many portions of this district that must be offered in small blocks.

Weitos River.

•

Should the Government approve of the land offered on the west bank of the Waite., I anticipate several offers of small blocks on the east bank of that stream, which will lead, I have every reason to believe, to the purchase of upwards of Twenty thousand acres, between the Waitoa and Waihon.

I consider it highly conducive to a speedy and successful negotiation that the purchase money should be forthcoming, when the tribe or claimants, owning a piece of land, have pointed out the boundaries to the District Commissioner; for instance, could the purchue-money have been paid a few days ago for two of the blocks shown on the sketch, the deeds would have been signed and forwarded without further negotiation ; and, though, in those two instances, I do not anticipate any fresh difficulties from the delay, Tet in some oases it might seriously interfere with the negotiation.

The whole of the upper Waitoa land is excellent and well timbered on the banks of the stream. The only difficulty I anticipate is that of Peers Te Putu refusing to cede his claim. This, however, will only diminish the size of the block on the west bank.

With reference to the consolidation -of the Piako Block, the absence of one of the claimants has alone interfered with the settlement of the Mangskahika and Mangs.hournia Block; a small portion will remain for which a separate deed can be drawn out.

I would strongly recommend the Government not to press the cession of the Maukoro Reserve at present ; there is a highly eligible site for a township a little to the north of the Pa of Meeker°, and any attempt to force a removal of the Natives at present would be fatal to other purchases in the vicinity which are highly desirable. Out of the Eleven hundred acres forming the Maukoro Reserve, I can at any time obtain the cession of Font hundred acres, when, I believe, the Nativig.would move of their own free will in about a year, but I have purposely kept back the offer of the Four hundred acres until the other purchases are effected, amongst the rest, the 8,000 acres, or the greater part of it, lying between Hangmen and the Mangawera stream.

I have, &a,

Memorandum for Mr. Kemp.

Piabo.—Unmaled Payments.

Too are aware that in the Thames and on the Bak° there have been standing over unsettled for seversl years the payments upon certain blocks of land, for which advances were made from time to time to the Natives. The Government, as well as the Natives, are anxious that these outstanding claims should be met and settled on the most equitable terms; and as I find from Mr. Puokey, the Native agent at the Thames, who has been directed .to enquire into the details connected with the several blocks alluded to, that they are now for the most, part in a fit state to be dealt with, I have the honor to request that you will, without delay, place yourself in communication with Mr. Fuckey, and endeavour, as soon as possible, with the assistance of the Native chiefs and other claimants, finally to dispose of this question. Funds for the extinguishment of the Native title to these blocks will be available as soon as you shall report that these claims have been adjusted, and the time and place appointed for the payment being made.

Auckland, 7th August, 1872.

Agreeably with your instructions, careful inquiry has been made into the several outstanding claims on the Waitoa and Piako Blocks. The result has been that, in order to meet the different claims, to give general satisfaction, and to make the awards fair and reasonable to the Government and to the Natives, the sum of One thousand pounds has been fixed to cover all claims connected therewith. Enclosed herewith is the schedule submitted for your approval, as well as a requisition for the amount required.

Native Office, Thames, 18th July, 1872.

I have the honor to enclose herewith schedule of proposed. payments to complete outstanding purchases—Piako and Waitoa Blocks—a balance of £718, according to Mr. Mackay's arrangements (excepting recent advances to Ems Te Aonru of £50, and to H. Tips of £20). W. H. Taipan and myself have gone fully intd the claims not considered by Mr. Mackay, and we think a payment of 840 to Wats Hangata, Hiri Hans, Matini Potars, and /Wens Baukuru, fair and reasonable to extinguish their interests. The Ngatimarn have a claim, and we propose to extinguish it by a payment of £160; also to give the Ngstipaoa an additional payment of £97, thus bringing the entire amount to be paid, inclusive of advances above referred to, £1,000.

The schedule will explain these amounts more fully.

PialVa ""'L'argait NPatiPsca claim,.

Sao-- Native Moe, Thames, 15th December, 1872.

I have the honor to inform you. that on the 28th ultimo I went to Taupo, aoocenieniad by W. Taipari and Cdr. E. H. Power, for the purpose of making the final pat to the staves on assOunt, of the long outstanding land purchases at Piako and Waitoa. As, there were a considerable. number of claimants and interested parties, ik was nazi7 to. make special terms with —et a vessel to

convey. us thither and bring ns back. accordingly the p.a.. " Enterprise No. 2 " stoma

plying between this and, Aucklandr-st a. coat inx ponn We reached Taupo in the evenings and

enr. errand having been explained end .p • eratitem made fox 0013UnaUnDt. first thing 111 th

mornings we retired to a new houo•which lui4 built for the occasion, We then had *.privste. meeting with the resident Natives, and want fully into the question a the claims, and everythine haying b4 n satisfactorily mAjusted. Stara, in the early morning, sent off a messenger to' Whaketiwat to fetch Hoare, to Whareponga, whose presence; at the final extinction of their claims to.these lands.

and especially the.W.aitos, Block, both he and I considered advisable. Aboit 9 o'clock in the MOM- .

Ing we assembled in the Court-house, and the Focudings commenced by W. Ural. reading the list of claimants' and.the pieces of land chime* by them. This was the more requisite as Tarapipipi had raised an objection to the claims of Te Poea to Otatu and Borate Peens, on the ground that all either had a right to was an eel-weir. Upon going into the question, however, In both cases the objection was withdrawn. There was no great difficulty experienced in. dealing with any claim, excepting as regards Motanhishi—a piece of laud contained within the Waitoa Block. When the amount arranged to be paid for this land was =atria, the claimants—Hone Te Roti, Wini Ramis, Bopata to Anibal, Hots Poke" and BilePoka—refused to sell unless they got 8400. They offered. to sell half of the land for £200, but—as I considered 8200 already too high for a piece of lend consisting of from one-third to one-half of deep swamp, and the total area of it being probably about 9,000 acres —after. discussing the matter for nearly a day and a night, with Taipari's concurrence, I out Motuhishi oat of the block. The only advance on this land was • sum of 219 paid to Woherus, a man since dead, and who did not appear to have any claim to the land whatsoever.

The claim of Horata Potene was, by her desire, dealt with as though it was Tips's, she claiming the land through him, and having no special or separate claim.

As it is possible some question may hereafter arise as to the claim of bible I. KAMM to Waitos, and the manner in which it was disposed of, I may state that I have all along steadfastly refused to recognise any unsupported claim, and made it a point from the first to consult Haors Tipa with reference to claims brought forward to these lands. I3o with the claim of Bihia which has been all along ignored by Haar*. It appears that this claim was derived from some remote Tapes, who formally owned or cultivated the land before it was taken by the Ngatipaoa, and the occuts driven off, as um for the killing of To Apa o to Bongi. I brought up this claim, repeatedly, but Haora as steadfastly refused to recognise it, and also at the Taupe meeting Bible, who appeared conscientiously to believe in the fairnessof his claim, brought it forward himself at my desire, bat without being able to. prove it to our satisfaction ; indeed, bad we dealt, with it separately, it would have complicated matters. as we should have bad Haan, against us. A few days .after our return, however, H.' ama Tips came to the Thames, and as I felt that the claim of Baia might hereafter crop up at an inoonvenient time, I suggested to Haar* that a small payment bad better be made to Itihia through him as principal seller. of this land. This he agreed to, and Bible accepted £10 in extinction of his claim, promising• that be would not hereafter make any claim whatever. All kinds of fictitious claims have since our return from Taupo been trumped up, but referring the pseudo claimants to Tips has completely shut them up, and in order to test the validity of any claim which may hereafter be made, it will be only necessary to refer such claimant to Tips.

I found it necessary to give Tarapipipi SW, he having some indirect claims on the Mobonui Block not previously dealt with ; but this payment should be regarded more in the light of a politic stroke than as the satisfaction of a claim ; also as he had some time ago made claim for a further payment on account of the Piako Block, and as it was in his power to place—for a time at least—insuperable obstacles in the way of the settlement of these lonrensting land claims, both on the Piako and Wailes, I agreed to abandon the purchase of a block of land called Ratihihs, on the opposite side of the Pirko to Mohonni, on which an advance of £80 bad been made to him, he foregoing any claim he might still have to the other blocks purchased. Adjoining this. land and included within the same survey is • piece called Whata.j. On this land an advance of £40 was med. some years ago by Mr. Whitaker, then Superintendent of Auckland, to Hama Tips, This purchase we also agreed to forego, lessening by so doing some considerable additional payments for Waitos, which Hum was expeotiog., I append to this report a schedule of the blocks of land purchased by the Government at Piako, which, together with the sketch plan herewith, will afford considerable facilities for understanding what, from, the very meagre information in the possession of the Government, has hitherto been a very oompLeated question.

Before having brought this report to a close, I should have stated that last week I visited Ohinemuri and obtained hfosnanni's signature to the Waitoa deed, and that I also completed the purchase of the Waemaro Block, on which Holm I. /Ceti admitted an advance of sats to have been made. I have also kept in band a sum of £10 to be paid to Penetito for claims in the, Piako. This closes all the Fier:hues. A claim by Rota to Whituti for t*85 I have ignored, as he appropriated that amount in the purchase of a portion of the Whitoa Block, which I had to abandon. Thu is shown on the plan,
