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

Puatahinga

Puatahinga.

This block also lies on the West Coast. To the 1st of April, 1874, there had accrued the sum of £432 10s. The Natives, who fairly represented the original vendors, agreed, after full discussion, that £94 13s. should be charged to the bridge account, and £14 17s. to expenses of administration. They also consented to £168 18s. 6d. being kept for schools and hospitals. The sum of £154 1s. 6d. was then divided amongst those who had sold the land, the survivors of the deceased vendors, Paul and Te Watarauihi, allotting the money. Of the sum last named, £50 on this block and £30 on the Hunua were, at my instance, handed over to Colonel Balneavis and Dr. Goldsbro', the legal guardians of the sons of the deceased chief Isaac Takaanini, who are being educated at the Auckland Grammar School.
