An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand
West Coast
West Coast.
The Natives occupying the land between Whaingaroa and Waikato are inclined to dispose of a portion of that district, and it is probable, as soon as the land question at Whaingaroa is finally arranged, they will offer for sale land in detached blocks amounting to 100,000 acres. The land in that district is of an inferior description, owing to the very undulating nature of the country. I am of opinion that it may be purchased at a rate of not less than 1s. 6d. per acre.
