Extract from Speech of His Honor the Superintendent of Wellington, to his Provincial Council, 24th April, 1863

Extract from Speech of His Honor the Superintendent of Wellington, to his Provincial Council, 24th April, 1863.

"Though unable to announce the completion of the purchase of the Manawatu Block, still I am happy to inform you that the chief difficulties in the way have been removed, and that the negotiations have advanced to such a point that I feel confident they will be brought to a satisfactory termination within a very short time. Nor am I without hopes that after this portion, estimated to contain 250,000 acres, is obtained, the remainder of the country will follow; for already serious disputes have arisen between the two tribes resident in the district, as to which tribe is entitled to receive the rents of the runs leased to the Europeans."
