Maori Deeds of Old Private Land Purchases in New Zealand, From the Year 1815 to 1840, with Pre-Emptive and Other Claims

Extract from Commissioner's Report

Extract from Commissioner's Report.

Commissioner's report.An opposition has been lodged against this claim by Francis White on the plea of a previous purchase, but, from the evidence adduced, it is clearly proved that Jeremiah McCrohan concluded a bargain and paid earnest for the land about nine days before Mr. White made his purchase, which, it appears, he (F. White) was acquainted with. The opposition therefore is invalid. Jeremiah McCrohan acted as agent and purchased the land described in this case for Charles Henry Chambers.
