Waiparera, sold by Tinana and Tairua to the Gorerment, 2nd June, 1853.
I also examined the cliam of Paora to the block of land known by the name of Waiparera. This claim is unjust. Tinana and others having sold it to. Government, kept back that portion of the payment as due to Paora as a joint claimant; then, to escape claim being made on him by Paora, he gave false names of the boundaries as sold him, misleading Paul as to what he had sold; hence Paul's claim to the south-west portion of Waiparera.
