An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

Waiparera, sold by Tinana and Tairua to the Gorerment, 2nd June, 1853

Waiparera, sold by Tinana and Tairua to the Gorerment, 2nd June, 1853.

Government, kept back that portion of the payment as due to Paora as a joint claimant; then, to escape claim being made on him by Paora, he gave false names of the boundaries as sold him, misleading Paul as to what he had sold; hence Paul's claim to the south-west portion of Waiparera.

I have, &c.,

John White, Interpreter.

The Surveyor-General, &c., &c.
