Hikutoto Hone Wharemako Karaitiana, Manaena, Karauria, R. Maney Complains that he had a large claim in this Block through his father, Moananui; that the natives complained against had their names put in the Grant, and sold the land to Maney to pay Karauria’s debts. Asks enquiry into the circumstances of the case
Kopua Henare Matua, on behalf of Rarati Hugh M’Lean, Josiah Hamlin, and H. Turton, Frauds Commissioner Complainant asks investigation into this case. A deed is registered signed by Urupene Puhara, Holepa, Te Ringanoho, and complainant Rarati, who is a girl of about seven years of age. Attention is called to the interpreter’s declaration—that he explained the deed, and that she fully understood it; and also to the certificate of Mr. Turton, the Commissioner for the Prevention of Frauds. Complainant calls for production of deed of sale, and requires that the certificate of the Commissioner be cancelled, and the land handed back to Rarati. Complainant further states that the Block is covered with very valuable totara timber, and that the consideration was quite inadequate
