Claim
No. 243c.Commissioners' report.William White.
William White,
Hokianga.N.B.—The North-West boundary is incorrectly stated. It does not extend to the River Waihou. (vide Nene's and Taonui's evidence.)
A deed of sale was executed by the above-named chiefs and others, and they have admitted the payment they received, and the alienation of the land. The deed was lost in the wreck of the "Aurora," at Kaipara; but part of the payment has been proved by George Frederick Russell. The Commissioners therefore respectfully recommend that a Grant for 1,000 acres of the above-described land should be issued to William White, his heirs and assigns for ever. Excepting 100 feet from high-water mark. Provided that there be that quantity when the North-west boundary is limited to where the chiefs Nene and Taonur state the land was sold, who are to point out the boundaries of this claim.
Dated at Auckland, this 15th day of May, 1843.
