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

Report

Report.

Any land offered for sale in the vicinity of the Awaroa, should, I think, be bought. To accept of this offer would, as Mr. Johnson states, absorb a claim preferred by the Ngatitipa upon a part of Foley's claim, and finally settle that question. When Katipa failed to wrest a part of Foley's claim from the Government by his misrepresentations, he thought of throwing it into the land claimed by the party who have written this letter. If a quiet title can be procured for any or all of the land remaining in that district, it is desirable. When Mr. Johnson goes to Rama Rama, he might be authorized to negotiate for this land.

C. W. W. Ligar,
Surveyor General.

7th December, 1852.
Approved, as suggested by the Surveyor-General, if Mr. Johnson can be spared.

R. H. W.,
Lieutenant-Governor.
