An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand
Pukekauere, sold by Keene and others December, 27, 1853, disputed by Henare. 27th June, 1853
Surveyor General's Office,
27th June, 1853.Sir,—
In compliance with your instructions, I have examined the claim of Henare to the block of land known as Pukekauere, as per margin; further, I have the honor to report that I went over the boundaries as marked by Keene and others, and shown to Mr. Surveyor Swainson at the time of sale. I have farther the houor to state that the claim made by Henare is quite groundless, and rests on the following unfounded assertion:—"That the Keene did not sell all the land included in the boundaries as shown by him to Mr. Swainson.
