| 15. | On 26 October, 1875, the Rev William Worker paid to certain Natives the
sum of $260 on account of 2 pieces of land, containing together by estimation
600 acres, afterwards ascertained to be within the boundaries of the portion
of the Pakiri Block acquired by the Crown. The Native Affairs Committee of the
House of Representatives have reported on the case as follows: | | 15. | May issue a
Crown grant to the Rev William Worker for the 2 pieces of land in question, on
payment of the sum of $340 (being the balance of $1 per acre for the estimated
area, 600 acres), subject, nevertheless, to a proportionate increase or
reduction after the actual area has been ascertained by survey. |
| That Mr Worker paid his money away under a mistaken impression. The land
passed through the Court in 1869, and the certificate of title was issued in
1870. In 1872 Government began to purchase, and completed the transaction for
two-thirds of the block in 1880. The case is a hard one, as Mr Worker was
evidently a bona fide settler. The Committee recommends Government to consider
whether, under the Special Powers and Contracts Bill, or by means of putting
up the land for sale, with a reserve for cost and improvements, redress could
be found for an evident hardship. | | | |

Settlement and the Bush Mills Small Farm Association, in the Provincial
District of Hawke's Bay, of the lands purchased by them in cases where the

Superintendent to convey to Trustees a site for the use of the Wanganui

By some mistake, which cannot now be explained, the conveyance to the Trustees
of links: the Fire Brigade was executed by the Superintendent for the piece
