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

Minute

Minute.

The late Attorney-General's opinion is not, I think, substantially different from my own. In order to bring the lands in question under the Native Reserves Act, proceedings must be first taken under the 14th section of that Act. Till this was done the Commissioner of Native Reserves had no power over them. I think they may be brought under the Native Reserves Act in the manner pointed out in section 14 of that Act, or they may be dealt with under the Native Land Act.—Henry Sewell, Attorney-General. 19th June, 1865.
