Page 13, Note 1.

It is believed that the practice of the Land Claim Commissioners was the following:—They travelled throughout the country, investigating each claim on the spot. The persons whose names appeared on each Deed as sellers were examined; and the boundaries of the land were then publicly pointed out. If page 8 this was done without opposition, it was assumed that the Community at large assented. The Note itself states, that there were cases where the tribe or hapu did object.
