An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand
[section]
P.S.—"The Native Lands Act, 1865," has been translated into the Maori language and distributed. The Act of 1866 has only come to the knowledge of the Natives by hearsay; at least I have not seen a translation. The Native Assessors are called upon to assist in adjudicating under an Act written in a foreign language, which is, and must be, prejudical to the satisfactory business of the Court until this is rectified.—J. Rogan.
