A Compendium of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs in the South Island. Volume Two.

No. 8. — Memorandum by the Attorney-General

No. 8.
Memorandum by the Attorney-General.

I think it better that the Governor in Council should, under the 8th Section of "The Native Reserves Act, 1856," set the land aside as an endowment for the maintenance of schools and relative educational purposes as may be intended for the benefit of the particular Native (defining them under some general terms), then the persons to whom the Governor has delegated his powers under the "Native Reserve Acts" may manage the lands, these persons if they are not so now, may be Major Heaphy and Mr. Watt, they can lease the land and apply the rents.

J. Prendergast.

31st May, 1870.
