REPORT UNDER "THE NATIVE SCHOOL SITES ACT,
1880."

His Excellency the Governor having been pleased, in
pursuance of the above-recited Act, to appoint me to
ascertain the title of certain Natives to land at Te
Awahou, in the County of Tauranga, appropriated
by them as a school site, I beg leave respectfully to
report,-

1. I gave notice in the Bay of Plenty Times news-
   paper that I would hold an inquiry at the Native
   Runanga House, Te Awahou, on Friday, the 28th
   day of April, 1882. I also had circulars to the same
   effect printed in English and Maori (copy attached
   to the report), which I caused to be circulated in the
   Rotorua District.

2. On Friday, the said 28th day of April, I held an
   inquiry at Te Awahou, when there were present the
   chiefs and a number of the members of the Ngati-
   rangiwewehi hapu, and when the plan of the pro-
   posed site was produced, and when I explained to
   the Natives present the provisions of the above-
   recited Act.

3. The meeting was unanimous in agreeing that
   the land, the boundaries of which are set forth here-
   under, was the property of the Ngatirangiwewehi
   hapu, and that it should be set apart for a school site;
   and I certify that I am satisfied as to the ownership
   of the land, and that the owners assent to set it apart
   for a school site in accordance with the above-recited
   Act.
