Report of Land Claims Commissioner
Nos. 367 and 367a.
On the 25th January, 1838, Charles Smith appears to have assigned his share in the claim to one George Smith for £8; and George Smith, according to the certificate by one Stephen Wrathall (himself a claimant in the same locality), appears to have transferred his interest to Thomas Flavell. The other original partner, Edward Boyce, appeared before Mr. Resident Magistrate White, and stated on oath that he bad assigned his share in the claim to the same Thomas Flavell.
The land was surveyed by Flavell: contents 400 acres. It immediately adjoins the Whakapaku Government Block, and was laid off by the same surveyors who surveyed that Block.
The computation for acreage is as follows: The Claimant may receive under the Schedule 248 acres; survey allowance on 400 acres, 60: total, 308. It is accordingly hereby directed that a Grant be issued to Thomas Flavell for 308 acres (three hundred and eight) at Whaugaroa Harbour.
