NAME OF BLOCK COMPLAINANTS AGAINST WHOM COMPLAINT MADE NATURE OF COMPLAINT
Tarere Urupene Puhara F. M. Chapman, Hugh Campbell,

M’Lean, and F. Sutton Complainant disputes alleged mortgage and sale. Requires settlement of all arrears of rent, and that the lease be set aside for non-payment of rents in terms of lease. Calls for production of all documents and accounts referring to the case.

Mangateretere (West) Waka Kawatini F. Sutton Complains that, having been one of the largest owners of the Mangateretere Block before its passing through the Native Lands Court, he is now cut down by such Court, and through the operation of such Acts, without his understanding of such Acts, to the position of equal tenant in common. That assuming the conveyance to Mr. Frederick Sutton to be valid, the purchase money represented therein is grossly inadequate. That he has not even received such price as represented. That Mr. Sutton has dispossessed him of his estate in the Mangateretere West Block by an abuse of the Native Lands Acts. That, so far as concerns Hawke’s Bay, the institution of licensed interpreters is a grievance of itself, inasmuch as only two licensed interpreters can be found in the province.
