Memorandum by Mr. Commissioner Mclean

Memorandum by Mr. Commissioner Mclean.

I have some recollection of the circumstances referred to, and I believe that Riwai is entitled to some consideration in this matter. Riwai is one of the principal men of the Ngatirarua Tribe, who sold a large extent of land to the Government for a very small amount of purchase money.

5th December, 1863.
