Richmond, C. W.; various contributors including Matiaha Tiramorehu; [New Zealand Government] Reports Relative to Land Purchases and the Condition of the Natives in the Middle Island
[Auckland] 1858 First Edition Hardcover Good with no dust jacket
Later binding of quarter leather and marbled papered boards. Spine leather very worn and about 40% missing. Binding poor. Internally good. ; Report "C-No. 3" to the House of Representatives, 1858. Subtitled: "A Return of any Official Correspondence respecting any recent purchases of Land from Natives in the Middle Island [i.e. South Island], and respecting the Condition of the Natives in that Island". and 47 pages. Page dimensions: 330 x 220mm. This publication contains correspondence from Walter Mantell (Commissioner for Native Lands); Alfred Domett (Colonial Secretary); Donald McLean (Chief Commissioner); J. W. Hamilton; James Edward Fitzgerald (Superintendent of Canterbury); Matiaha Tiramorehu. "The principal cause of all the disputes in this Island is that of your having given the payment of a part of our Island to the Ngatitoas, it is this which has caused all the disputes amongst the Natives of this Island: buy you, Governor Eyre, are aware of the cause of all the disturbance of that Island, it is the same here, and there will ere long be ruptures among us." - Matiaha Tiramorehu, page 9. "At my interview with Whakatau to-day, I was for the first time informed that a branch of the Ngaitahu tribe known as Putini or Arahuru, own the country Westwards from the central mountain range of Middle Island to the West Coast. Putini and Arahuru, where they reside, are now used indifferently for the West Coast or its inhabitants. These numbered 97 according to Mr. Brunner in 1847. After the Kaiapoi and Kaikoura lands are purchased there will, as I understand the Maories to say, still be left those of the Putini branch of the Ngaitahu, as the progress of the settlers on the Eastern Coast will soon lead to the exploring and occupation of the upper parts of the Putini country, in the same manner, probably, as that of the Kaikoura country; I mean without any recogntion of the rights or claims of the Maori occupants. I am of opinion that the Government is callused upon to take an early opportunity of setting at rest the last Native claim which I conceive it will then be possible to raise for land in this Island." - J. W. Hamilton, page 27. Bound with Report C-No. 4 (1858): "Deeds of Purchase of Land in the Middle Island'. Auckland: 1858. 6 pages. Also bound with Report E-No. 4 (1858): "Reports of Commissioners of Native Reserves". 17 pages. ; Folio
