An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand
Kaiaka Block Surveyed
Kaiaka Block Surveyed.
I have further to inform you that the Kaiaka'Block of land, situate between the Mangatete Block and Victoria River, has been surveyed, but is not yet mapped. It is larger than the Toatoa, and being superior land, the natives for a long time declined to take less than five shillings per acre; but I have now reduced the price to three shillings per acre, which they have agreed to take.—8,000 acres.
I should be glad if you will obtain sufficient money to complete this purchase also, on your arrival here.
I have, &c.,
W. B. White,
Civil
Commissioner.
H. T. Kemp, Esq.,
District Commissioner, Keri Keri.
