Native Reserves No. VIII

Native Reserves No. VIII.

—(Reserves for the Ngatihourua Tribe, residing at Whatawhata, on the Waipa River.)

Reserve 1.—500 acres of country land at Tuhikaramea, about three miles above Whatawhata, on proper right bank of the River Waipa.

Boundaries.—See plan attached.

Grantees.—Matutaera te Kaniwhaniwha, Mohi te Rongomau, Waaka te Ruki, and Haria Tatai.

Nature of Grant.—Conditional. In trust for the members of the tribe, but without power either to lease or sell.

Reserve 2.—13 acres 1 rood 34 perches, situated at Te Taia, Whatawhata. Plan annexed.

Reserve 3.—3 acres 2 roods at Pehihoukura, Whatawhata; at present the residence of the local Magistrate, but to devolve on the Natives when no longer required by Government for any special purpose. As an old cemetery, it is better under our care than theirs. Plan annexed.

Grantees and Nature of Reserve.—The same as at Tuhikaramea, Reserve No. 1, above.

Reserve 4.—5 acres at Whatawhata, timber land: that is, twenty quarter-acre sections. Sections Nos. 150 to 170. See plan.

Reserve 5.—6 acres 1 rood at Whatawhata: that is, twenty-five quarter-acre town sections.

Grantees and Nature of Grant.—The grant for these two reserves had better remain until I can visit Waipa again, and so fix each claimant on his own proper section. I will then forward the names, numbers, and other particulars.
