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

Province of Taranaki

Province of Taranaki.

  • 3. The whole of the land acquired from the Natives in the Taranaki Province may be estimated at 60,000 acres. Of this extent there are about 3,000 acres in the Waiwakaiho Block, exclusive of reserves, of which the Natives have not yet given up possession to the Government.

In consequence of the continued feuds among the Natives at Taranaki, I do not anticipate that there" is any prospect of acquiring land there during this year. At the same time some provision should be made to enable the Government to do so whenever the Natives are disposed to sell. A sum of £3,000 would be adequate to meet this contingency.
