Reserves.

• 7. All lands to-be reserved for Native cultivation or occupation, under the 9th section of the Act, should be separated by natural boundaries from lands to be settled by the pakeha. This is to be desired, not only for the sake of avoiding strife between the Native and the European neighbours, but also to enable the Natives to cultivate within a ring fence, and to spare them the cost of a fence for each separate holding, which cost will sometimes equal, or even exceed, the value of the land to be included within such fence.
