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

£50 offered for a Wahi Tapu

£50 offered for a Wahi Tapu.

The sum of Fifty pounds (£50) has also been offered to extinguish the native title to an allotment (being a well known Wahi tapu) joining the Customhouse. The claims on this lot are numerous, and if the sum of fifty pound is accepted it will be fair and reasonable.

The purchase of these lots will be the means of leaving the town free of any native claims, and will in other respects be an advantage to the white community, and, I think, also a great benefit to the natives. Enclosed is requisition for the amount.

I have, &c.,

H. T. Kemp, District Commissioner.

Edward Shortland, Esq., Native Secretary. Mem.—Dr. Shortland, let it be sent. 16-7-64. W. Fox.
