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

His Excellency the Administrator of the Government having
been pleased, in pursuance of the above-recited Act, to appoint
me to ascertain the title of certain Natives to land known as
Mataiwhetu, at Te Kirikiri, Thames District, proposed to be
appropriated by them as a school site for that district, I beg
leave respectfully to report:

1. I caused notice both in the English and Maori languages
   to be inserted in the Thames Advertiser that I would hold an
   inquiry at the Native Office, Grey Street, Shortland, on Wednes-
   day, the 3rd day of January, 1883. I also had circulars to the
   same effect printed in English and Maori, which I caused to be
   circulated amongst the Natives of the Thames District.

2. On Wednesday, the said 3rd day of January, I held an
   inquiry at the place before mentioned, at which representatives
   from the Ngatimaru, Ngatihauauru, Ngatiteaute, and Ngati-
   whanaunga tribes were present. The plan of the land proposed
   to be given for a school site was produced, and the provisions of
   the Act were explained by me.

3. The Natives unanimously agreed that the land shown on
   the plan produced as aforesaid was a portion of the Mataiwhetu
   Block, and that such portion belonged to Wirope Hotereni
   Taipari, Hoani Nahe, and Hori Matene; and the said Wirope
   Hotereni Taipari, Hoani Nahe, and Hori Matene thereupon
   declared their consent to the appropriation of such land as a
   school site for the Kirikiri or Mataiwhetu Native School in and
   for the district before mentioned, in accordance with the above-
   recited Act.

Description of Land above referred to.

All that piece or parcel of land containing by admeasurement
4 acres 1 rood, more or less, being called or known as the Matai-
whetu Block, situated in Block VIII., Thames Survey District,
in the Provincial District of Auckland. Bounded towards the
North-west by a line, 856-3 links; towards the North-east by a
line, 566.3 links; towards the South-east by a line, 874-6 links;
and towards the South-west by a line, 432-9 links, to the point

Given under my hand at Auckland, this 8th day of
January, 1883.
