Maori Scheme in the disposal of Land by giving False Boundaries.

This is a favourite scheme with the Maori to get money, and is conducted in the following manner:—The parties who sell a block of land, and not giving a portion of the money to all who may have a claim, to evade the claim of the thus neglected party, the salesmen give the names of false boundaries, thus giving rise to the numerous claims to portions of land by misled chiefs who have been unjustly dealt with by their fellow-claimants.
