The Native Land Court in Te Paparahi o Te Raki:
1865–1900
Paul Thomas
October 2016
A report commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the
Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040)
Wai 1040, #A68

The Author My name is Paul Thomas. I graduated with a first class honours degree in history from
Otago University in 1990. I worked as a researcher and writer for the Dictionary of New
Zealand Biography until 1993. From 1995, I was employed by the Crown Forestry
Rental Trust as a historian. Since 1999, I have worked as a contract historian on Treaty
of Waitangi issues, writing and advising on many different areas. My report, 'The Crown
and Maori in the Northern Wairoa, 1840–1865', was submitted to the Waitangi
Tribunal's inquiry into the Kaipara district. My report, 'The Crown and Maori in Mokau,
1840–1911', was submitted to the Te Rohe Potae inquiry.
Acknowledgements I am grateful to Leanne Boulton of the Waitangi Tribunal for overseeing this report. Ms
Boulton produced its tables, graphs and statistical research although I am the report's
sole author and have final responsibility for all parts of it. Ms Boulton explains the
methodology used for these statistics in appendix B. I also thank Dr James Mitchell and
Dr Barry Rigby of the Waitangi Tribunal for their assistance, as well as Tribunal
mapping officer Noel Harris. Philip Cleaver reviewed a draft of the report while Philippa
Wyatt provided valuable historical advice and Lauren Zamalis carried out much-
appreciated copy-editing. Although the errors and shortcomings of this report are mine
alone, I would like to acknowledge the many historians and writers who have produced
reports to this inquiry dealing with the Native Land Court. This overview is built on
their work.

Introduction This report provides an overview of the Native Land Court in Te Paparahi o Te Raki
between 1865 and 1900. It is a summary and synthesis of the many pieces of technical
evidence to this inquiry that deal, in differing ways, with the Native Land Court. This
report aims to bring together, in one readily accessible document, some of their key
findings and investigate how the Court impacted upon Maori communities in Te Raki.
My focus has been on identifying broad patterns and regional variations and
similarities. I have not attempted to touch on every issue related to the Court in Te Raki
or to detail in minutiae all of its operations.
The report is organised around four chronological periods. Chapter one looks at the
period between 1865 and 1874, when Te Raki Maori brought an estimated 39.1 percent
of their land under the Native Land Court system. David Armstrong and Evald Subasic
suggest that this period was the highpoint of Te Raki Maori optimism and interaction
with the Court.
However, there was no headlong rush towards the Crown's new tenurial system and
initial enthusiasm for the Court quickly cooled. Throughout this period, Te Raki Maori
kept most of their land in customary tenure while seeking Court-awarded title over
select areas.
Nonetheless, Te Raki Maori were drawn to the Court because it was – and would remain
– the only way in which they could gain legally recognised title over their land and sell it
if they chose to do so. With only sporadic Crown purchasing in the area during this
period, the immediate risks to Maori of Court title were restricted. Instead, individual
Maori gained title over generally small areas that were then sold or leased to individual
Pakeha. Secure, Crown-recognised title was also attractive to Te Raki Maori in areas
subject to tribal or local disputes or threatened in other ways. For Te Raki Maori, the
impact of these many small-scale hearings was mixed and complex. The full
consequences of the Court's individualisation of customary title would become more
apparent in later periods.
3
The new Court regime had a more dramatic effect in the parts of Te Raki where Crown
purchasing was most intense, especially in Mahurangi and around Puhipuhi–
Whakapara. In these areas, the Court awarded large blocks of Maori land to a few
individuals who were already under, or would soon come under, pressure to sell. It did
not place alienation restrictions on most of these lands or closely investigate whether
other Maori were connected and relied on them. The result was that a few years after
title determinations were complete, Mahurangi Maori were virtually landless while
most of Puhipuhi-Whakapara had been purchased by the Crown.
Chapter two examines the period between 1875 and 1880 – key years that, more than
any other time, determined the Native Land Court's impact upon Te Raki. No other
period would see so much land titled by the Court and purchased by the Crown. During
this time, the Native Land Court system cemented its dominance in Te Raki and
emerged as a key element in the Crown's land purchasing programme in the region. It
awarded large areas of communally controlled land to small numbers of individual
Maori who were already arranging to sell to the Crown. This led to unsuccessful
protests from Judge F E Maning that the Court's legislative, protective, and investigative
responsibilities were being ignored in a rush to facilitate Crown purchase. From this
point onwards, the Native Land Court was inextricably connected, in the view of Te Raki
Maori, with harmful land loss.
Chapter three examines the rising resistance to the Native Land Court by Te Raki Maori.
It was increasingly clear, by the 1880s, that extensive Court hearings and the
unprecedented levels of land loss of the mid and late 1870s had damaged local
communities and their economy. Not only had most of their land been lost, but local
Maori were largely unable to farm or develop the Court-titled land that remained in
their possession. Resistance to the Court took many forms, including political protest,
use of Maori committees and runanga to adjudicate on land issues, and the
establishment of a Rohe Potae around Motatau in which use of the Court was
prohibited.
This resistance – and diminishing pressure from Crown purchasers – meant local Maori
increasingly refused to bring their remaining customary land into the Court system.
4
Nonetheless, by the 1880s, the Court was an entrenched feature of Te Raki Maori life
and even its staunchest opponents were unable to avoid the institution altogether. It
was the only way in which local Maori could gain legal title over their land. To not
participate in title determination would allow others to gain and sell the land. By the
end of the decade, over 77 percent of Maori-owned land in the inquiry district had been
clothed in Court title. The Court continued to award land to a few claimants–
prospective vendors without closely considering how this could affect local Maori
communities. During this period, there were also a number of protracted, divisive, and
expensive hearings involving larger blocks that led eventually to Crown purchase.
Chapter four examines the strengthening resistance to the Court in the 1890s amidst a
resumption of large-scale Crown purchasing in the area. During this period, the key link
between the Court and Maori land loss remained unaltered: the Court issued legal title
to individual Maori who could sell their interests without reference to the wider
community. Nonetheless, a new type of interaction between Court and the Crown’s land
purchasing agents had emerged. Crown agents no longer sought to influence – implicitly
or explicitly – Court decisions. Instead, they exploited and benefited from them.
During this decade, the Court regularly awarded blocks to dozens or even hundreds of
individual Maori owners. This hyper-individualised title was matched by a new method
of Crown purchasing. Crown agents no longer made advance payments and entered into
pre-title negotiations with a few select individuals. Instead, they waited until the Court
had identified all the many legal owners of a block before gradually acquiring their
uneconomic, undefined interests. If some owners refused to sell, the Court would
partition out the sellers’ and non-sellers’ interests, awarding to the Crown large and
generally contiguous areas of land. Non-sellers were often left with small, isolated areas
highly vulnerable to continuing partition and purchase and burdened by survey and
other court-related costs. Maori land in Te Raki was mired in a cycle of fragmentation,
individualisation and alienation.
This new phase of Court-facilitated Crown purchasing deepened the resistance of Te
Raki Maori to the entire official titling process. They attempted, often in association with
the Kotahitanga movement, to boycott the Court and have it replaced. Non-Government
5
sanctioned native committees continued to operate in the area while a cluster of lands,
including the Rohe Potae, remained under customary control. These attempts to avoid
the Court, while not completely successful, resulted in a decided drop in the amount of
Maori land in Te Raki that was coming under the Crown's tenurial system.
By 1900, Maori life in Te Raki had been transformed. The Court system was major factor
in the alienation of most Maori-owned land in the region and the landlessness or near-
landlessness of many communities. The Court system had altered almost beyond
recognition the communal structures and land tenure of most local communities. It had
failed to replace this traditional tenure with a stable and appropriate form of land
ownership that allowed Te Raki Maori to thrive in the new colonial economy.
Nonetheless, Te Raki Maori resistance to the Court had, against considerable odds,
achieved some significant victories. An estimated 17.8 percent of Maori-owned land in
the region in 1865 remained under customary tenure in 1900.1
This made Te Paparahi
o Te Raki one of the few parts of New Zealand at the turn of the twentieth century with
substantial areas of customary land. As other reports to this inquiry discuss, Te Raki
Maori would, in the early part of the twentieth century, continue to be at the forefront of
Maori attempts to find an alternative to the Native Land Court.
Report Scope, Methodology, and Limitations This report provides an overview of the Native Land Court in Te Paparahi o Te Raki
between 1865 and 1900. At the outset, it should be noted that my report is not intended
to be an exhaustive discussion on the Court in the inquiry district. That would be a
massive enterprise far exceeding the scope of the commission and the time available.
Instead, my aim is to provide a summary and synthesis of available evidence relating to
the Native Land Court on the record of inquiry and to highlight key themes and issues.
A key source in this endeavour is David Armstrong and Evald Subasic's report on land
and politics in the inquiry district, which includes considerable analysis of the role of
the Native Land Court. Paula Berghan's narratives provide basic information and
1 See chapter 1
6
sources on the many individual blocks within the inquiry district. A large amount of
technical and tangata whenua evidence discuss specific blocks and areas.
Another goal of this report has been to examine patterns and variations in Court activity
and impact across the five sub-regions that make up the inquiry district (Figure 1).2
This has borne inconsistent results. As will be discussed, it is both possible and useful to
consider the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-region as a distinct geographical entity
with a unique relationship to the Court. This area was subject to sustained Crown
purchasing before 1865 at a level unmatched elsewhere in the inquiry district.
Immediately after the Court's introduction to Te Raki, Mahurangi Maori went to the
Court seeking legal title over virtually all the remaining Maori-owned land. The great
majority of this land was subsequently alienated, mainly by the Crown.
The other inquiry sub-regions – namely, Whangarei, the Bay of Islands, Hokianga, and
Whangaroa – did not have such a clearly defined, individual interaction with the Court.
The Waitangi Tribunal's contemporary boundaries for these sub-regions do not
correspond closely to the Court's activities. The report does attempt to discuss the
Court's processes and influence in each of these four hearing regions. But it has proven
more useful to look at the Court's impact over these four sub-regions, and the entire
inquiry area, as a whole. This is integrated with examinations and case studies
examining the Court’s impact on particular local communities, areas and blocks.
Given the limits of the available source evidence, this report does not address in detail a
number of issues mentioned in the commission. For instance, while the report does
outline specific evidence relating to survey and other Court costs incurred by the Maori
applicants, a systematic assessment of the issue has not been attempted. Similarly, I
have sighted relatively little specific evidence on the role of Native Assessors in the
Court process. Appendix B discusses in more detail whether evidence was available for
specific issues raised in the commission.
2 As explained in Appendix B, the boundaries for these sub-regions were defined by the Waitangi Tribunal in 2005.

I would like to stress a crucial, if obvious, limitation to this report. It deals only sparingly
with the overall context in which the Court operated. A key theme for this report is the
link between the Court system and the Crown's purchase of Maori land within Te Raki. I
do not mean to suggest by this that the Court was the only factor in Crown purchasing.
The nature of Court title, at least at certain times and situations, made it easier for the
Crown to purchase Maori land in Te Raki. But a detailed assessment on the reasons why
local Maori sold land is largely beyond the scope of this report.
It is also important to reiterate that the report, as a whole, is not based on original
research. Given the focus of the commission and time constraints, I have not examined
many undoubtedly useful primary sources. In particular, a thorough study of the
relevant Native Land Court minute books has not been attempted. Instead, I have relied
on the extracts and summaries of minute book material contained within a number of
the reports submitted to this inquiry.
Another limitation has been that, at the time of writing, a number of reports relating to
specific blocks were not complete. In these cases, I have cited and relied on the latest
drafts available to me. All quotations are derived from the technical evidence rather
than from the original sources. I have not used macrons for words, names, or place
names in Te Reo Maori.
The statistical information, tables, and graphs in this report are based on research
carried out by Leanne Boulton, Senior Research Analyst/Inquiry Facilitator at the
Waitangi Tribunal with the assistance of other Tribunal staff members. Dr Barry Rigby's
research on Crown grants issued for blocks in the inquiry district has also been used. In
appendix B, Ms Boulton discusses the statistical methodology used in more detail.
But it is worthwhile to note here that these statistics, tables, and graphs are intended to
provide a useful and, as far as is possible, reliable snapshot into the Court's activities
and impact. They do not claim to be precise or definitive beyond scrutiny. The Court's
notoriously unreliable record-keeping is just one factor among many that would render
such a claim to be foolhardy. Instead, the more one delves into the Native Land Court's
nineteenth-century activities in Te Raki, the more one is aware of the uncertainties and
8
confusion that surrounded and still surrounds the institution. This overview is an
attempt to cut through some of that confusion while remaining cognisant that, despite
the many valuable reports to this Tribunal dealing with the Court in Te Raki, much
remains unknown.
Background to the Commissioning of this Report This report was commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal as part of the local issues
research programme (LIRP) for the Te Paparahi o Te Raki (Wai 1040) inquiry.
In October 2013, the Chief Historian of the Waitangi Tribunal produced a review of the
evidence required for Stage 2 of the Te Paparahi o Te Raki (Te Raki) inquiry.3 In regard
to the Native Land Court from 1865 to 1910, he concluded that there was generally
‘insufficient research coverage at the sub-regional and local levels of the history of
Maori land during this period, especially as experienced by local Maori communities’.4
• case (or local) studies of native land blocks, 1865–1910;
As a consequence, he recommended that a coordinated suite of research into the Native
Land Court be commissioned including:
• a report on the operation of the papatupu block committees system;
• a report into the local impact of Native Land Court processes and decisions on
Maori communities, and;
• validation reviews of Native Land Court block titling and alienation data.5
Consultation with the parties regarding these recommendations then took place,
including a judicial conference at Waitangi on 16 November 2013. On 24 December
2013, Judge Coxhead, the presiding officer for this inquiry, issued a direction approving
the commissioning of a report on the ‘local impact of Native Land Court processes and
decisions on Maori communities, 1865–1900’.

Given the limited time available, the scope of this report was narrowed with the aim of
producing an overview of the role of the Native Land Court and its processes in the
titling, retention and alienation of Maori-owned land in the Te Raki inquiry district from
1865 to 1900. A major aim was to analyse patterns and variations in Court activity
across the region and over time.
The report was commissioned on 20 June 2016 (attached to this report as appendix A).
The report was to address the following matters to the extent that source information is
available and accessible and that time permits:
a) What sub-regional patterns can be identified in the operation of the Native
Land Court in the Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry region up to 1900 in respect of
initial title determination and subsequent litigation, partitioning, the notification,
location and length of Court hearings, the evolution of Court business (in
particular partitions and successions), the judges and assessors involved, and the
survey and other Court-related costs incurred by Maori applicants?
b) What sub-regional patterns can be identified in the protections provided
through the Court process in the inquiry region?
c) What sub-regional patterns can be identified, in broad terms, concerning the
outcomes of the Court's operation in respect of the titling, retention and
alienation of Maori-owned land in the inquiry region up to 1900?7
Tribunal Statement of Issues This report is relevant to topic 5 of the Te Raki Statement of Issues for Stage 2: ‘The
Native Land Court, 1865–1900’. In particular, it contributes towards answering the
following specific issues questions:

d. What was the nature of, and reasons for, Maori engagement with the Native Land
Court process in the Te Raki inquiry region? What was the impact of the Native Land
Court on Te Raki Maori who chose not to engage with it? Did Maori have any alternative
way of transacting their lands other than by first obtaining a Crown title through the
Native Land Court system?
e. How did the institution of a new native land tenure system impact on the exercise of
traditional leadership, tikanga, and community decision making in respect of land?
g. Was the Native Land Court an appropriate body, with robust processes and
mechanisms, to determine the customary ‘owners’ of Maori land? Did the Native Land
Court require certainty as to the identity of the parties transacting land and their
authority to do so before determining title? To what extent were Te Raki Maori experts,
or matauranga Māori, relied on in determinations of Maori customary rights?
i. How did the Native Land Court system impact on Te Raki Maori whanau and hapu, on
their identity, their traditional connections to the whenua, their tikanga, their wairua,
their whakapapa, and on their way of life?
j. Did the Court’s development and application of principles of succession reflect the
transmission of rights under tikanga? What was the effect of these succession principles
on Te Raki Maori landowners?
k. Did the Crown have a duty to ensure that the rules and procedures affecting prior
notification and the conduct of the Native Land Court hearings were fair and reasonable
for Te Raki Maori? Was the Crown aware of difficulties that may have arisen, and did it
act adequately to address problems such as non-attendance of all right holders?
m. What was the impact of participation in the Native Land Court process for Maori,
including court fees, survey costs, attendance costs, medical costs, loss of income and
roading deductions? Did the impact vary from whanau to whanau? In what ways, if at
all, did the Crown seek to mitigate these costs? To what extent were these costs fair and
reasonable?
11
n. Were protective mechanisms, such as restrictions on alienation, available to Maori
landowners? How were these mechanisms used, if at all, and what impact did they
have?
o. Did Te Raki Maori demonstrate any opposition towards the operations of the Native
Land Court? If yes, how did the Crown respond, and was this response adequate?
q. To what extent, if any, were legislative protections, such as restrictions on alienation,
available to Te Raki Maori landowners, and what impact did these have? Were these
protections sufficient to address perceived problems arising from the impact of the
Native land legislation and the operation of both the Native Land legislation and Native
Land Court? Were protections associated with the Native Land Court process made
sufficiently clear to Te Raki Maori and was there an obligation on the Crown to ensure
such protections were effective?
r. Did the title options available to Te Raki Maori provide sufficiently for effective
participation in the developing colonial economy?’8
The Crown’s Position on the Native Land Court to 1900 The Crown has made a number of concessions in the Te Raki inquiry regarding the
operation of the Native Land Court and its impact on Maori communities between 1865
and 1900. These include:
Individualisation of Title Undermined Tribal Structures • The Crown concedes that the operation and impact of the native land laws, in
particular the award of land to individuals and enabling individuals to deal with land
without reference to iwi or hapū, made those lands more susceptible to partition,
fragmentation and alienation. This undermined traditional tribal structures which
were based on collective tribal and hapu custodianship of the land. The Crown failed
to protect those collective tribal structures which had a prejudicial effect on the iwi

12
and hapū of Te Paparahi o Te Raki and was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the
Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
Ten-owner rule • The Crown concedes that the 10-owner rule had the potential to cause prejudice to
Maori in circumstances where:
o some right holders were omitted from titles and disposed of their interests as a
result;
o the named owners acted individually in a manner contrary to the wishes or
intentions of the wider community; and
o there was a subsequent succession of interests where there was no allowance for
wider community interests.
• The Crown concedes that in these circumstances the ten-owner rule did not operate
in a manner that reflected the Crown’s obligation to actively protect the interests of
Maori in land they may otherwise have wished to retain in communal ownership
and this was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its
principles.
Lack of Collective Title • The Crown concedes that its failure to provide a legal means for the collective
administration of Maori land until 1894 was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/ the
Treaty of Waitangi and its principles by failing to actively protect Maori interests in
land they may otherwise have wished to retain in communal ownership.9

1. Chapter One: The Court comes to Te Raki, 1865–
1874 1.1. Introduction This chapter looks at the first decade of Native Land Court activities in Te Paparahi o Te
Raki. Te Raki Maori showed considerable initial interest in the Crown's new tenurial
system. The reason for this was only too apparent. The Native Land Court was the only
means by which they could gain legally recognised title to their land – and sell parts of it
if they so chose. Between 1865 and 1874, well over a third of Maori-owned land in the
inquiry district was brought under the Court system and hundreds of new blocks were
established.
The consequences of this new system, and especially the fact that individuals became
the absolute, legal owners of land that had previously been communally controlled,
would prove to be vast. It is no exaggeration to say that the introduction of the Court
began a process of transformation and irrevocable change for local communities. Over
time, the Court system would be an important factor in massive land loss in the region
and come to be viewed by many Te Raki chiefs as a central threat to their people and
their land. But between 1865 and 1874, the ultimate impact of the Court system was by
no means certain. This chapter examines the diverse early experiences of Te Raki Maori
with the Native Land Court.
1.2. Te Raki in 1865 The Native Land Court arrived at a precarious time for Maori in the Te Paparahi o Te
Raki inquiry district.10 Trying to reinvigorate a stagnant economy and an increasingly
marginalised region, Maori had from the 1840s 'sold' considerable amounts of land to
the Crown, including some of their most economically important areas. Vincent
O'Malley argues that Te Raki Maori expected – and had been promised – that these
transactions would bring them economic development through increased European
settlement, infrastructure, and constructive engagement with the Crown.11
10 Vincent O’Malley, ‘Northland Crown Purchase, 1840–1865’, CFRT, 2006, Wai 1040, A6, p 515
But by 1865
and the arrival of the Crown's new tenurial system, the promised townships and
11 O’Malley, A6, p 515
14
progress were nowhere to be seen. The majority of Te Raki Maori were reliant on the
gum trade for their subsistence and survival, while their ability to utilise their land in
more sustainable ways, including growing, processing, and trading food, was
contracting.12
Rather than encouraging prosperity and accord, the pre-1865 transactions had resulted
in confusion and mistrust. O'Malley argues that the Crown purchases were 'frequently
so poorly conceived, implemented and documented as to lack all validity’.13
The
overlapping and sometimes shambolic nature of these transactions, and the Crown's
failure to define clearly the land it was claiming to purchase, frustrates attempts to
assess precisely how much land was alienated.
Nonetheless, the submissions to this Tribunal on pre-1865 Crown purchasing agree that
by 1865, Te Raki Maori had legally lost ownership of a significant portion of their tribal
estate. O'Malley estimates that the Crown purchased nearly 800,000 acres prior to
1865.14 The Crown, in its statement of position and concession (SOPAC) for this inquiry,
states that it purchased 853,446 acres and, when factoring in old land claims and pre-
emptive waivers, that Te Raki Maori had lost a total of 1,145,124 acres by 1865.15 Barry
Rigby's validation reports provide somewhat lower but still substantial figures. He
posits that by 1865 a total of 765,197 acres had been alienated in Te Raki, including
522,034 acres through Crown purchases.16 Only about 14,000 acres of land was
reserved from these purchases for future Maori use and even these were not safe from
alienation. By 1865, the Crown had already purchased some of these reserves and
would acquire more in the coming years.17

Rigby emphasises that the lack of scientifically accurate surveying in Te Raki before 1872, and the difficulty of assessing the amount of overlap between Crown purchases and old land claims, means that these are best estimates only. 17 Barry Rigby, ‘Pre-1865 Te Raki Crown Purchase Validation report’, Waitangi Tribunal, 2016, Wai 1040, A53, p 6; Rigby, A56, p 2
15
By 1865 and the introduction of the Native Land Court, Te Raki Maori retained in
customary tenure an estimated 55 percent of the inquiry district.

With regard to the five sub-regions established for this inquiry, the communities of
Mahurangi and the Hauraki Gulf Islands had lost the largest percentage of their lands.
They were, as the Crown has conceded, 'virtually landless' by 1865.19

some years for the Crown to assert practical control over its acquisitions. According to
some calculations, the Crown and Europeans had acquired 56 percent of land in the
Whangaroa sub-region by 1865. Whangarei, the largest of the sub-regions, had also seen
large-scale land purchasing, and perhaps 40 percent of the area was no longer legally in
Maori ownership. A combination of old land claims, pre-emptive waivers, and Crown
purchasing had alienated approximately 45 percent of Maori land, including some of the
most valuable areas, in the Bay of Islands.20 There were apparently no pre-1865 Crown
purchases in Hokianga but local Maori had lost legal ownership of around a quarter of
the area due to Crown grants following private transactions.21
In short, the Native Land Court had a vital and delicate responsibility in Te Raki. Many
local Maori considered legally recognized title was essential if they were to develop
their lands, control the alienation process and interact productively with Europeans.
The Native Land Court was the only means by which that title could be gained. As will
now be discussed, the Court system had an immediate impact in Te Raki.
1.3. Crown Title Takes Hold in Te Raki Between 1865 and 1874, the Native Land Court had a significant albeit varied impact
upon Te Raki. In a few areas, it almost completely swept away customary Maori title
with large-scale land loss quickly following. Elsewhere, local Maori interacted with the
Court more sparingly, receiving legal title over parts of their land while keeping
substantial areas outside of the Court system. Despite these important local variations,
in many ways this first decade represented the highpoint of interaction between the
Native Land Court and Te Raki Maori. More of their land went before the Court in this
period than in any other chronological period used for this report.
20 O’Malley, A6, p 15 21 Wai 1040, #1.3.2, pp 11, 14-23. These estimates of the percentage of land loss should be taken as indications only. They are from the Crown's concessions but it should be remembered that in A56, p 6, and elsewhere, Barry Rigby argues that the Crown has over-estimated pre-1865 land loss and under-estimated post-1865 land loss in Te Raki in terms of acres. Moreover, the lack of precise and agreed figures on the size of either the sub-regions or the inquiry district as a whole renders attempts to give percentages of land loss more problematic still. Any attempt to come up with a percentage of total land loss must therefore be heavily qualified.
17
From 1865 onwards virtually all remaining customary Maori land in Te Raki came
under the Native Land Court system. This transformation was well underway by the end
of the Court's first decade. By 1874, the Court had awarded individual title to 325,200.2
acres, 39.1 percent of all Maori-owned land in the inquiry district in which the date of
titling is known (see table and graphs below).22 The total amount of land titled during
this first decade exceeded even the extraordinary years from 1875 to 1880 when the
Court worked frantically to keep up with the Crown's purchasing programme in Te
Raki.23

NB: This excludes 104 blocks (103,269.5 acres) where date of titling is unknown
22 Note that the percentage of previously customary land titled in any period is based on the customary land that was titled in a known period. It excludes those lands that were titled at an unknown time. It also excludes the unknown amount of land that remains in customary title today. Evidence of how much, if any, customary land currently remains in Maori ownership in the inquiry district is not available, although it is assumed that it is a relatively small amount. 23 The short period between 1875 and 1880 had a higher average acreage of title determination per year than the longer period between 1865 and 1874.

Graph 4: Proportion of known acres titled by the Native Land Court in each time period, Te Raki inquiry district
The immediate impact of the Court is more notable still when the number of blocks
established in its first decade is considered. There are records of when 954 Native Land
Court blocks in the Te Raki inquiry district were titled between 1865 and 1990. Just
under half of these (469 blocks representing 49.2 percent) were created between 1865
and 1874. In no subsequent period would Te Raki Maori seek title over so many blocks.
If anything, these numbers under-estimate how quickly the Crown's titling system took
hold in the Te Raki region. The statistics for the first decade do not take into account the
blocks, some of them large in size, where the land titling process had begun but had not
been completed.
The Court had considerable initial impact upon all five sub-regions in the Te Raki
inquiry district albeit with one significant variation. As detailed below, by 1874 nearly
all remaining Maori-owned land in Mahurangi and the Gulf Islands was under the
Crown's tenurial system. In all but the Whangaroa sub-region, approximately one-third
of Maori-owned land had passed through the Court by 1874. In the Whangaroa area just
over 20 percent of the known Maori customary land had been titled by the Court by
1874.

There were important local variations in the degree of interaction with the Court within
the individual sub-regions. But it is clear that by 1874 customary tenure in the Te Raki
district as a whole was under challenge. The Crown's tenurial system had taken a

1.4. The Individualisation of Communal Title As many works have argued, the Native Land Acts, under which the Native Land Court
operated, were shaped by two interrelated ambitions. The Acts were intended by the
Crown to facilitate the purchase of Maori land and extinguish tribal tenure.24 Initially,
the second part of this agenda progressed more quickly in Te Raki than the first. This is
because from 1865 to 1874 there was no sustained Crown purchasing programme in
the inquiry district. Pre-emption had, according to many officials, not led to the
purchase of sufficient amount of Maori land. Settlers were now to be allowed and
encouraged to directly purchase Maori land themselves.25
However, private purchasing
and settler interest in Te Raki during this period proved to be limited while the
Auckland Provincial Government sought to acquire only specific areas. The extent of
land alienated during the Court's first decade in Te Raki varied considerably depending
on locality.
Despite this, the Court's initial impact in Te Raki was anything but minor. Submissions
to this inquiry argue that traditional tenure in the district revolved around communal,
conditional and overlapping land rights.26
But between 1865 and 1875, almost 40
percent of Maori-owned land in the inquiry district was rendered the legal property of
individual Maori. This helped lay the foundations for later land purchasing on a massive
scale and the gradual weakening of communal land use and society.
According to Armstrong and Subasic, it did not initially appear that the Native Land
Court would have such a radical and destructive impact on Te Raki. Many local leaders
and communities showed initial enthusiasm for gaining legal title over their land and
the Court seemed to offer them considerable collective control over the title
adjudication process. Under the Native Lands Act 1862, tribes rather than individuals
could apply for Court hearings. Two Maori 'judges' or assessors and a European

president, in conjunction with local communities, would investigate and establish
defined tribal boundaries. The Governor would confirm the Court's decisions and, if
deemed necessary, set aside tribal and individual reserves to ensure that Maori
maintained sufficient lands. Once the tribal area had been defined, registered, and
carefully surveyed, the tribe would then have the option, if it so wished, to subdivide
parts of the area into smaller units legally held by families and groups or to sell areas
directly to settlers.27
The Act became operative in 1864 and Native Land Courts were established, including
under Judge John Rogan in the Kaipara and Whangarei district, and under Judge George
Clarke in Hokianga.28 Between 250 and 400 Maori attended hearings in Whangarei
under Judge Rogan.29 However, this early manifestation of the Court had little direct
impact on Maori land in Te Raki. The Court did not attempt to define tribal boundaries
and few if any specific blocks in the inquiry district were established.30
It was the Native Lands Act 1865 that shaped the character of the Court and its early
role in Te Raki. Under this Act, the Court system was a vehicle for the individualisation
of title to Maori land with little scope for collective Maori ownership and utilisation of
land. Legal title to Maori land could be issued to a maximum of 10 individuals. The land
was absolutely vested in these individuals through certificate of title and subsequent
Crown grant even if these owners often saw themselves as acting as trustees or
representatives for wider communities.31 The Act did have one avenue for collective,
corporate ownership. Blocks of over 5,000 acres could be granted to tribal groups.
However, no tribal title was issued in Te Raki. Armstrong and Subasic suggest that this
was because it was generally understood by judges in the area that the role of the Court
was to destroy rather than to perpetuate communal tenure.32
27 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 284-285 28 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 299-304 29 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 299-304, 307-308 30 Crown Grants List, research carried out by Dr Barry Rigby. Archival reference: ABWN, 8090, W5374. Included in Appendices D and E of this report. This research suggests that only two Te Raki Crown grants were issued to blocks titled under the Native Lands Act 1862. 31 Claudia Geiringer, 'Historical Background to the Muriwhenua Land Claim, 1865-1950', 1992, Wai 45, F10, pp 74-78 32 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 312
23
Instead, even large blocks of over 5,000 acres were granted to just a few individuals.
The individualisation of Maori land ownership, and the consequent legal dispossession
of legitimate rights holders not included in the title, continued to spread even after the
passing of the Native Lands Act 1867. Section 17 of this Act allowed the Court, in
addition to the maximum of 10 principal owners named on the title, to list all those who
held interests in the block, be they individuals or tribes, in the Court records and on an
attachment to the certificate of title. This provision neither allowed general communal
ownership of land nor did it constitute a clear legal requirement that the principal
owners be considered trustees for the wider group. Nonetheless, it seemed to offer
some limited protection for Maori and was, as Claudia Geiringer writes, legislative
acknowledgement that the 10-owner system was insufficient to protect the interests of
all legitimate claimants to Maori land.33
The Court in Te Raki rarely invoked this provision of listing a wider group of secondary
'owners'. This may have reflected Chief Judge Fenton's hostility to section 17, which he
viewed as inconsistent with the Native Land Court's task to eradicate communal Maori
ownership.34 There are suggestions that judges failed to inform Maori applicants of the
existence of this provision.35 It would appear that tribes were never recorded in Te Raki
as holding interests and only a few examples have been located of a secondary group of
owners being listed on the title. The 1872 certificate of title for Kokohuia listed 10
owners, with those 10 plus five other individuals named on pages appended to the
certificate.36 On 16 July 1873, Judge Maning ordered a certificate of title for the
Parahirahi block of 5,097 acres to be issued for 10 principal owners, with a secondary
group of 17 other individuals listed within the Court records.37

Instead, the block was reheard and title issued in 1874 until the Native Land Act 1873 which allowed title to be issued to an unlimited amount of individuals, in this case, 27.

But these cases were exceptions to the general pattern. Between 1865 and 1874, Te
Raki blocks were awarded on average to about four individuals (see the table below
where this data is highlighted in bold and the accompanying graph where it is shown as
a red bar). Even this figure exaggerates the number of owners named because it
incorporates a handful of blocks which were granted to hundreds of individuals at the
end of the period under the 1873 Native Land Act. Even blocks of 20,000 acres or more
were granted to a single or a few individuals.

(Source: title determination master sheet with Rigby Crown Grant data, Appendix E)
There are a number of possible reasons why the Court generally issued title to just a few
individuals. Judges, inspired by the Court's individualising aims, seem to have preferred
to keep the number of legal owners of Maori land to a bare minimum. But the small
number of title holders also reflected local Maori attempts to navigate and control the
Court system. Armstrong and Subasic suggest that applicants to the Court often
requested that a single or only a few names be placed on the title because they wanted
to establish separate whanau farms or to smooth the sale or lease of the land to
Pakeha.38 Wiremu Pomare, who was granted land by the Court in the Mahurangi sub-
region, told a Government inquiry in 1871 that the ‘Pakehas often advise the Natives to
get as few names as possible to a grant for the conveniences of selling’.39
But the frequent Maori requests that a block be granted to a small number of individuals
was also a reflection of the central problem in the Native Land Court's titling system.
Many applicants saw themselves, and presented themselves to the Court, as
representatives of their kin groups. Prominent leaders sought land title in the belief that
this would allow them to maintain chiefly control over their lands. It will be shown, for
example, that Te Hemara Tauhia pushed the Court to award title over the Waiwera–
Puhoi blocks in Mahurangi to himself and a small group of tightly connected leaders and
individuals. He evidently saw this as a way in which these leaders could control the land
for the benefit of the wider groups they represented.
But legally these individuals were now in a position to make fateful decisions about land
without the approval of those they represented. Moreover, these owners had no need or
incentive to consult with those they did not represent, including other tribal groups and 38 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 358-360. This seems to be their inference here. 39 Rose Daamen, Paul Hamer and Barry Rigby, ‘Auckland (Part 1)’ Rangahaua Whanaui District Series, Report 1 (Wellington: Waitangi Tribunal, 1996), Wai 1040, H2, p 256

rival chiefs about the fate of the land. Court title gradually weakened communal society
and encouraged unilateral decisions about the collective resources of land. This would
have far-reaching consequences, especially in the parts of Te Raki under strong
pressure from land purchasers.
1.5. The Limits of the Court's Investigations It is difficult to confidently summarise how the Native Land Court decided which
individuals should receive title to land in Te Raki. As many submissions to this inquiry
note, the Court kept inadequate and unrevealing records of its processes and decision
making. Its minute books offer brief and flawed summaries of what took place during
hearings that often fail to provide basic information let alone broader explanation. In
particular, the minutes provide little on the motivations and views of the Maori
applicants. There are no extant official records regarding the many cases heard by Judge
F E Maning.40
One explanation – albeit not the only one – for the scant official record is that the
Court's inquiries were sometimes perfunctory. It has been argued that the Native Land
Acts obliged the Court to investigate and consider the rights of not just applicants but all
those with interests in the land. Section 17 of the Native Lands Act 1867 required the
Court to ascertain the title 'of every person who and every tribe which according to
Native custom owns or is interested in such land whether such person or tribe shall
have put in or made a claim or not’.41 Geiringer states that this clearly obliged the Court
to carry out a thorough and proactive inquiry into title that would, if necessary, extend
beyond the courtroom.42
In practice, there appears to have been no investigations outside the courtroom and
often very limited investigations within it. Title determinations for individual blocks
were decided quickly, often after less than a day of evidence.43
40 As pointed out earlier, these comments are based on the minute books summarised and discussed in various reports. A thorough review of the minute books was not carried out for this report.
The rights of those who
41 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 84-85 42 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 85 43 Aroha Harris, ‘Oral and Traditional History Report for Te Rohe o Whangaroa’, 2012, Wai 1040, E32, pp 179-187; Mark Derby, '“Fallen Plumage”: A History of Puhipuhi, 1865–2016’, Waitangi Tribunal, 2016, Wai 1040, A61, p 67; Boast, The Native Land Court 1862-1887, part 1, pp 152-153
27
were absent from the Court for whatever reason, including because they were unaware
of the hearing, were unable to attend, or disapproved of the Court process, were often
not considered.
This raised a great risk that legitimate interest holders would be dispossessed of their
legal rights to land. A perusal of various sources including Paula Berghan's many but
brief block histories suggests that often during this period only a small handful of
individuals would appear before the Court and apply for title over the land. There were
often no other claimants present. The Court frequently heard their evidence without
much cross-examination or inquiry. It would seem that there was often no explicit
discussion of the critical question of whether the applicants represented wider groups
and individuals or claimed sole rights over the land. The Court's main concern was
whether anyone in the courtroom explicitly and openly opposed the main applicant's
evidence and claims. If the answer was no, as it frequently was, the Court immediately
ordered a certificate of title to be issued to the main applicants and, if they so requested,
to a handful of other individuals whom they recommended.
This general impression is supported up by a closer examination of the Court's 1866
title determinations into land in the Waiwera–Puhoi area around the Mahurangi
Harbour. During these hearings, the Court rubber-stamped, with little inquiry or
apparent curiosity, the title wishes of Te Hemara Tauhia and a small, closely connected
group of associates.
This is not to imply that the applicants did not have deep ties to the land in question. Te
Hemara and his people maintained kainga and cultivation within this area. It was
largely through Te Hemara's influence and persistence that these lands had not been
included in the Crown's pre-1865 purchases in Mahurangi.44
Before the Court hearings over these blocks opened in 1866, Te Hemara and a few
others from his party decided among themselves to whom the land should be granted.
Te Hemara then had the Court give legal weight to these arrangements. The land was
44 Barry Rigby, ‘The Crown, Maori and Mahurangi 1840–1881’, Waitangi Tribunal, 1998, E18, pp 34-38
28
divided into 13 blocks. The largest of these blocks, Puhoi (2,537 acres), was granted to
Te Hemara alone. Okaihu, the next largest block with 2,408 acres, was granted to Te
Hemara and one other. Two smaller areas were also granted to Te Hemara so that he
could arrange the already planned sale and lease of the land to Europeans.45
The other blocks were allocated to individual Maori with ties to Te Hemara and his
people. Three small blocks were granted to Henare Winiata of Ngati Kau of Ngati Rongo
(or Rango). The 410-acre Tungutu block was assigned to Makoare Ponui, who had
whakapapa connections to Nga Whetu, Ngati Rongo's focal ancestor. As Makoare
explained to the Court, this 'subdivision of the land' had been arranged between himself
and Te Hemara 'lest he should lay claim to my piece and lest I should lay claim to his
piece’.46
One block, Opahi, was granted to Tuna and two others from Waikato. The Court was
told that Te Hemara and others had gifted them this land about 10 years earlier in
acknowledgement of the help and shelter Waikato had lent the Mahurangi people
during the Musket Wars.47 Similarly, four blocks were granted to two descendants of
Pomare, the Ngati Manu chief from the Bay of Islands who had provided a refuge for Te
Hemara during the strife of that period.48
The Court accepted without exception the pre-hearing arrangements made by Te
Hemara and his small party of applicants. The hearings themselves were brief and did
not resemble a thorough investigation into the history and customary rights of the area.
Instead, they followed a standard pattern. The main leader of each individual claim
testified briefly regarding the basis of his rights. There was little, if any, cross-
investigation. Quite frequently, Te Hemara rose to confirm their evidence, to explain
that he and others had earlier agreed to this arrangement, and even to provide the
whakapapa connections of the claimants. There were no cross-claimants or opposition.
In at least some cases, the Court before making its decision, asked a few other Maori
45 Peter McBurney, ‘Traditional History Overview of the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands Districts’, 2010, Wai 1040, A36, pp 418-439 46 McBurney, A36, p 425 47 McBurney, A36, p420 48 O’Malley, A6, 194-195; McBurney, A36, pp 427, 430, 435
29
who had given evidence during the hearings whether they objected to the claim in
question. They invariably did not. The Court then ordered that the land be granted to
the applicants. Within two days, title for 11 of the 13 blocks had been decided.49
This tightly controlled process was only briefly interrupted when Tai Kiamana objected
to his relative Te Hemara being named as the sole title holder for the Orokaraka and
Puhoi blocks. Upon Te Hemara's request, the Court adjourned so that he could reach an
agreement with Tai Kiamana. When the Court resumed two days later, Tai Kiamana was
not present but his objection apparently remained. The Native Assessors, Winiata
Tomairangi and Wiremu Tipene took the lead in deciding these disputed cases. They
enlisted Tipene Te Waka to assist them but heard no additional evidence. Rather, after
receiving a letter – the source and contents of which are not specified in the Court's
minutes – they decided that both blocks should be granted to Te Hemara alone.50
These hearings were an early indication of what would become even more noticeable in
the coming years: namely, the Native Land Court's willingness in the Te Raki inquiry
district to issue title based on limited investigations. The Waiwera–Puhoi hearings
suggest some of the dangers in this approach. Most obviously, the lack of opposition in
the courtroom did not in itself mean that all Maori with potential interests in the land
supported the proceedings. For instance, Ngati Paoa and the Hauraki tribes who were
prominent in pre-1865 land dealings in Mahurangi, played no role in either the hearings
or, it would seem, in the pre-Court negotiations among Maori.51 Any claims that they or
other groups may have had to the land were not considered. Wiremu Pomare, who was
present at the hearings, would later complain that the Court had ignored the fact that
many others held rights to the land. He complained that the Court had granted large
blocks to Te Hemara alone and the result was sales and communal landlessness: 'one
person was put in the grant, and trouble came upon the tribe in consequence'.52
The Court's lack of investigation is perhaps the most striking element about these
hearings. The Court seemed largely willing to accept what it was told. It apparently did 49 McBurney, A36, pp 418-439 50 McBurney, A36, pp 436, 438-439 51 McBurney, A36, p 495 52 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1180. See also p 794
30
not inquire into which individuals and groups took part in the pre-Court arrangements
that it was about to put into law.
Armstrong and Subasic suggest that the Native Assessors generally played a minor role
in court hearings during this period and note that Judge Maning in particular was
hostile to their involvement.53 In the Waiwera–Puhoi hearings the Native Assessors did
at least pose a few limited questions and seem to have taken a more active role than the
presiding officer, Judge Rogan, who appears to have been essentially a bystander. Before
becoming a Native Land Court judge, Rogan was the Crown's purchasing agent in
Mahurangi.54
He had personally witnessed the complexity and conflict over which tribes
and chiefs held rights in the district. Yet there is no evidence that he inquired into such
matters during the hearing.
Not all title determinations were quick or, in the Court's view, straightforward. But even
when it took years for title to be awarded, this was not because the Court was carrying
out exhaustive investigations. Rather, as the Puhipuhi hearings discussed below
indicate, title determination was often delayed when those Maori who appeared in
Court could not agree among themselves to whom the land should be granted. The
Court often issued final judgments regarding these disputed cases. But sometimes,
particularly when the disputing applicants were important leaders of different tribes, it
would not make a decision. The Court's reticence in the Puhipuhi case was not simply
its recognition of the complexities of the case; it also reflected political sensitivities. The
Court hoped that the disputing parties and rangatira would reach an agreement on the
case. When they could not, the Court process, at least in this case, became mired in
delay, confusion and conflict.
From 1867 the Court granted most remaining Maori land in the area surrounding the
Puhipuhi blocks in the Whangarei and Bay of Islands sub-regions to a few individuals
after limited investigations and quick determinations.55
53 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 56
However, moves by Ngati Hau
leaders, including Eru Nehua, to gain title over the Puhipuhi block ran into resistance.

Powerful representatives of other tribes appeared at Kawakawa on 7 August 1873 for
the hearing under Judge Maning included the Ngati Hine leader Maihi Paraone Kawiti
and Hoterene Tawatawa representing Ngati Wai and others.56
Mark Derby's report pieces together, from the limited existing evidence, what happened
during and after the hearing. He suggests that the hearing featured complex and
contested evidence. In general, Judge Maning was hostile to Court decisions reached
through compromise with Maori applicants. But, in this case, key rangatira were locked
in conflict and Maning decided to meet informally with the contestants in the hope of
finding a mutually acceptable agreement.
This may have been sensible but Maning's actions only muddied the waters. Unable to
find an agreement with the chiefs, he made a series of legally unclear, poorly
documented and sometimes contradictory recommendations or rulings. According to
the claimants, the judge wrote a letter to each of them proposing that the land be split
into three with 14,000 acres granted to Nehua including the most valuable southern
portions. Kawiti, under this proposal, would receive title to 6,000 acres with 5,000 acres
to be awarded to Tawatawa. Derby terms this as 'the 14-6-5 proposal'. But Maning then
wrote to Fenton with a different account, suggesting that the recommendation was for
an equal three-way split of the land ('the thirds proposal'). A subsequent suggestion by
Maning that the rangatira should gain shares in the portion allocated to their rivals ('the
intermixing proposal') only deepened the confusion. The applicants were left with
different opinions on what the judge had promised them while title to the land
remained incomplete.57 A rehearing under Maning in 1875 was also abandoned. Title
would not be finally issued in Puhipuhi until 1882–1883.58
Derby argues that the 1873 hearings were a significant misstep by the Court. To gain
legal title over the land, the claimants had no option but to seek a Court decision. They
sought a 'thorough and judicious examination' of their claims, followed by a 'clear and
56 Derby, A61, pp 67, 72 57 Derby, A61, pp 73-84, especially pp 79, 84 58 Derby, A61, pp 84, 173
32
considered judgment'.59 The Court failed to meet these criteria in the case of Puhipuhi.
It proved itself ineffective in resolving serious disputes among the claimants. Derby
suggests that a more traditional Maori forum would have been more appropriate and
effective in mediating this case. As it was, the Court's actions 'appear to have worsened
and extended' the disputes and confusion over Puhipuhi.60
This failure seems to be part of a wider problem. The Court's focus was to place as much
customary Te Raki land under the Crown's tenurial system as possible. In general, it
achieved this goal very efficiently given its lack of resources and personnel. It did not
always demonstrate the same commitment to trying to make sure that the title it issued
reflected, as adequately as was possible, the interests of all the legitimate right holders.
The Court generally ruled quickly and following only limited investigation in cases
when it felt able to impose its authority or, when it was not presented with obvious
evidence that others apart from the applicants were claiming the land. But in cases such
as Puhipuhi, when conflicting and powerful chiefs were present at hearings, the Court
proved ineffective at resolving serious disputes and was part of the problem rather than
the solution.
But in both types of hearings, the Court during this period did not act as an in-depth
investigative body. This severely compromised its ability to make appropriate title
determinations. As Armstrong and Subasic point out, Maori runanga, hui, and other
decision-making processes were not allowed to play a part in the Court's titling
process.61
The result was the worst of both worlds. The Court system took away the
traditional methods of Maori in Te Raki to collectively decide on land matters but did
not prove itself to be an effective replacement.
1.6. Alienation Restrictions and the Court's Protective Responsibilities It has been argued that the Court's major impact during its first decade in Te Raki was
the granting of legal title to individuals who could alienate that land without recourse to
59 Derby, A61, p 103 60 Derby, A61, p 84 61 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 305, 311
33
the wider community. This laid the foundations for purchases during this period by the
Auckland Provincial Government and settlers and also for later, more extensive Crown
acquisitions. While the Court would increasingly become synonymous in Te Raki with
Maori land loss and land shortages, it could potentially have played a quite different
role. The Crown had long acknowledged it had a duty to ensure that Maori preserved a
sufficiency of land for their present and future needs.62
The Court had a major role to
ensuring that duty was met.
There was plenty of legislation that allowed and obligated the Court to inquire into
whether land passed before it should be protected from alienation. Under the Native
Lands Act 1862, the Governor could require a portion of land in certificates of titles to
be reserved for the benefit of tribes and individuals, and restrict alienation of these
reserves. The Native Lands Act 1865 allowed the Court to recommend to the Governor
that blocks be restricted from alienation. The Native Lands Act of 1866 made existing
Maori reserve land inalienable by sale or mortgage and by lease for more than 21 years
except with the assent of the Governor in Council. Moreover, it required the Court to
append a report to every certificate of title on whether alienation restrictions were
needed. The 1867 Native Lands Act strengthened these provisions. The Court was
required in every case:
To inquire and take evidence as to the propriety or otherwise of placing any restriction of the alienability of the land comprised in the claim or of any part thereof or of attaching any condition or limitation to the estate to be granted.63
In addition, lands titled under section 17 of this Act could not be sold unless they were
partitioned into subdivisions held by 10 owners or less.64
It does not appear that the Court regularly and adequately investigated whether
alienation restrictions were needed in Te Raki during this period. No evidence has been
found that the Court produced reports on the issue and attached them to the certificates

of title. Technical reports to this inquiry evidence suggest that the Court often ignored
the issue unless applicants specifically requested that alienation restrictions be
ordered.65
While there are a few references to the Court discussing alienation restriction matters,
they do not suggest the Court's inquiries were in-depth or systematic. For example,
alienation restrictions were seldom discussed or recommended during title
investigation into the last substantial portions of Maori-owned land in Mahurangi.
According to the minute book accounts, the issue came up only once during the
Waiwera–Puhoi hearings of 1866 and even then in a somewhat haphazard manner.
During the investigation into the 123-acre Opahi block, the applicants explained that
they were from Waikato rather than Mahurangi and that the Opahi land had been gifted
to them from local leaders. Perhaps prompted by a question from the Native Assessors,
they added that this gift allowed them to reside on the land 'forever, but not to dispose
of it to other persons (to sell)’.66 Maori would have good cause to be thankful for this
apparently chance discussion. It prompted the Court to impose alienation restrictions
on Opahi. By the 1890s, this small block was one of the few fragments of Mahurangi that
remained in Maori ownership with both Waikato and otherwise landless Maori from
local tribes living on it.67
The title hearings for the Mangatawhiri block of 24 February 1873 saw a fleeting
reference to the issues of whether alienation restrictions were needed in Mahurangi.
The Court divided the block into three and awarded these portions to 15 individuals. In
its judgment, it stated that all these owners had an 'abundance of land elsewhere’.68
65 Harris, E32, p 186 provides an example of claimants requesting and receiving alienation restrictions.
There is no evidence that this assertion was based on in-depth investigation and no
Court acknowledgment of the endemic landlessness in the area. The Court did issue
alienation restrictions for the 230-acre Mangatawhiri 3, but the two larger portions of
66 McBurney, A36, p 420 67 Rigby, E18, p 135 68 McBurney, A36, p 452
35
the block, with a combined total of 2,992 acres, were left unprotected. They were soon
purchased by Pakeha.69
As has been discussed, the Court during this decade tended to reach vital decisions after
only limited investigations. The lack of inquiry into whether Maori-owned land needed
to be protected against alienation was an example of this negligence. It would seem that
the crucial issue of how much and what quality of land Maori in the various parts of Te
Raki needed to retain if they were to thrive and progress was left largely unconsidered.
The result was that few alienation restrictions were issued on Maori land in Te Raki.
Current research suggests that alienation restrictions were imposed upon only 56 of the
403 Crown grants (around 14 percent) issued for Te Raki blocks between 1865 and
1875. Only 12,371.5 acres, representing 5 percent of the land titled during this period,
was protected against alienation. On the other hand, 347 blocks containing 233,660.9
acres, or 95 percent of the titled land, was left unprotected. The protected blocks were
generally small with an average size of 215.15 acres. Te Ruatahi at Whananaki in the
Whangarei sub-region was the largest of the restricted blocks at 2,542 acres.

Anecdotal comments by Judge Maning about the high level of alienation restrictions in
the area should be treated sceptically. He stated in 1867 that between one-half and two-
thirds of the land that had come before his Court in Hokianga was 'secured to the native
owners inalienably’.70 In 1870, he assured the Government that there was no danger of
landlessness among Hokianga Maori as the Court 'always places restrictions on the sale
of a sufficient quality of land to ensure to the natives an ample provision for their
comfortable maintenance'.71
However, officials knew – or could have found out if they cared to look – that the reality
was quite different. In 1867, a return of certificates issued by the Court in northern
districts was published. It showed that alienation restrictions were placed on just 20 of
the 218 titles issued in the north between November 1865 and July 1867.72
Not all applicants to the Court wanted alienation restrictions placed on their land. Some
wanted Crown title to land so that they could sell or lease it. Others may have been
unaware of the provisions for alienations restrictions. Armstrong and Subasic suggest

that Te Raki Maori generally accepted the importance of alienation restrictions as long
as they were not imposed upon them without consultation.73
But undoubtedly important was the belief of judges active in the area that their role was
to facilitate rather than retard the purchase of Maori land. Chief Judge Fenton was
opposed to alienation restrictions.74 Judge Maning thought Maori land-holdings should
be reduced to a bare minimum and questioned whether protective measures were
necessary or desirable in the north.75
The relatively few alienation restrictions that were imposed during this period were
usually effective. Various restrictions were imposed. Alienation was prohibited 'ad
infinitum' or limited to leases not exceeding 21 years. Some blocks could not be
alienated for the next 21 years, after which the restriction lapsed. Some of these
restrictions were lifted or apparently ignored. On 1 June 1866, title was issued for the
30-acre Aroha block on the Kerikieri inlet in the Bay of Islands with alienation
prohibited 'ad infinitum'. On the very same day, a private purchaser acquired the
block.76 However, most Te Raki blocks with restrictions placed on them in this period
remained in Maori ownership until at least the end of the nineteenth century, surviving
the peaks of Crown purchasing in Te Raki in the mid-1870s and, to a lesser degree, the
1890s.77 However, the Crown largely removed existing alienation restrictions from
Maori land in 1909.78 In the following years, many, though not all, of the previously
protected blocks were purchased in part or full.79

1.7. Selective, Small-Scale Interaction with the Court Between 1865 and 1874, Te Raki Maori placed over 39.1 percent of their land under the
Crown's new titling system in some 469 distinct blocks. Exactly why they did so cannot
be stated with any certainty but the limited evidence available suggests that Te Raki
Maori interacted with the Native Land Court during this period in two quite distinct
ways. The first and most common practice was for small numbers of Maori to go to the
Court, more or less willingly, to gain legal title over often relatively small parcels of land.
39
The great majority of Native Land Court blocks created during this first decade were
small in size. This pattern began early. According to official reports, 218 certificates of
title were issued by the Native Land Court in the north as a whole between November
1865 and July 1867. Of these, 92 were for blocks 100 acres or less. A further 82
certificates of title were issued for blocks between 100 and 1,000 acres. In all, more
than 80 percent of the blocks established by the Court during these 20 months were less
than 1,000 acres.80 Crown grants registered for blocks in Te Raki between 1865 and
1874 likewise show the predominance of small blocks.81
Research carried out for this report bears out the point that most blocks titled by the
Court during this period were relatively small. The table and graph below indicates 381
of the 469 blocks titled between 1865 and 1874 were 500 acres or less, with 249 being
100 acres or less.82

These relatively small, newly titled Native Land Court blocks were spread throughout
the inquiry district and were often surrounded by land that Maori had decided to keep
under customary title. Armstrong and Subasic suggest that local Maori tended to see
small-scale, controlled interaction with the Court as a positive element in their search

for economic development. They sought Crown title over select, limited areas which
they wished to sell or lease to valued settlers or to develop themselves, especially as
whanau-run farms.83
Te Tirarau Kukupa, the Te Parawhau chief, was a frequent participant in Court hearings
during this period. On 18 March 1866, he was granted the 100-acre Taikawiwi block in
the Whangarei district which he then transferred to the settler Henry Walton, his
business partner, agent, and relative through marriage. Tirarau and others passed a
number of newly titled blocks to Walton, including one that seems to have been part of a
plan to create a joint coal-mining enterprise on Ketenikau.84 In March 1866, the Ngati
Hau leader Haki Whangawhanga received title for the 197-acre Tauranga block. He
immediately requested that Chief Judge Fenton grant it to Walton 'because that land is
his’.85
European settlers had long lived around Kawakawa with the agreement of the Ngati
Hine chief Maihi Paraone Kawiti but without legally recognised rights. When two
settlers began arguing with each other about the extent of their land rights, Kawiti went
to the Court to create distinct, separate blocks which he then sold to them.86
In 1865, Te Hemara Tauhia and others informally sold land at Mahurangi to Robert
Graham, a businessman and politician with whom they had long-standing ties. In 1866,
Te Hemara gained title over the 70-acre Maungatauhoro block which he legally sold to
Graham in 1868.87
83 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 22
During the 1866 Waiwera–Puhoi hearings, Te Hemara also gained
title to the eight-acre Orokaraka block which he told the Court would be leased,

'Crown Grants List', included in Appendix E of this report shows that Walton was granted Ketenikau. Document A39(c), pp 372-373, seems to suggest there was an arrangement over coal on the block. Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 856 infers that Walton was also granted other lands from Te Tirarau. For the relationship between Te Tirarau and Walton, see Paul Thomas, 'The Crown and Northern Wairoa, 1840–1865' CFRT, 1999, Wai 674 H1, Wai 312 C1, pp 34, 41, 50, 217. 85 Paula Berghan, Wai 1040, Northland Block Research Narratives Vol 08 Native Land Court Blocks 1865–2005 Rahuikotuku – Tuwhakino’, Wai 1040, A39(g), p 290 86 Berghan, A39(e), pp 254-255 87 Rigby, E18, p 134; McBurney, A36, p 433

apparently as part of an endeavour to encourage the shipping trade that he and his
people were involved in.88
In March 1867, Judge W B White issued title to a number of small blocks in Whangaroa
that the applicants wished to sell or had already sold, to Europeans. Regarding the 89-
acre Paihia block, Riwhi Hongi told him that:
we have all arranged to sell this piece of land to the white man, we have plenty of land left, this is only a small piece.89
The discovery of mercury at Ngawha attracted the attention of European businessmen
and spurred local Maori to gain legal title over the area. In 1872, John White, who was at
various times a Crown land purchase agent, Court official, and mining entrepreneur,
signed a 100-year lease and mining arrangement with Wiremu Hongi Te Ripi and others
to take effect as soon as legal title was secured to what would become the Parahirahi
block. The hearing for Parahirahi took place in July 1873. At this hearing, the Court
awarded the adjoining Tuwhakino block to Heta Te Haara who shortly afterwards
leased it to another Pakeha would-be mining magnate.90
The desire to establish flax mills, often in conjunction with Pakeha, was another spur for
Native Land Court hearings. In early 1870, Judge Maning reported that he was busy with
title applications due to the upsurge in the flax business and subsequent leasing.91 In
1871, 12 Maori gained title over the 534-acre Moetangi block in Hokianga. This appears
to have been the location for a flax-cutting mill that was established soon afterwards by
Europeans.92
Native Court title was also sought for farming, development, and residences for local
Maori including by Eru Nehua and his whanau at Taharoa and by Te Hemara Tauhia and

his people on some of the Waiwera–Puhoi land. In January 1867, Judge Maning claimed
that:
all over the north there are already instances to be found of natives who having individualised their claims and received Crown grants for their lands are fencing, clearing, laying down grass, and building good houses for themselves and calculating what the future income derived from their farms ... will be[.] [T]he land they sell is almost invariably the inferior land and they keep the best for themselves, and they are in general so persuaded of the great benefits derived from the Native Land Act that I assure you the Court has in my district acquired a power quite unprecedented up to this time and authority.93
Despite these optimistic reports by Native Land Court judges, the new tenurial system
did not lead to successful Maori farming in Te Raki. The instances cited by Rogan were
exceptions to the general rule. The first decade of the Native Land Court saw Te Raki
Maori poverty deepen with little economic activitiy except for the extraction of gum and
timber.94
Legal title seems to have been especially valued when the land in question was
under dispute between tribes or threatened by Crown and old land claims.
However, Crown-derived title brought little economic benefit for Te Raki Maori who
grew increasingly sceptical about the wisdom of using the Native Land Court. There was
considerable early enthusiasm among Te Raki Maori for the new Court system. The
Court's first full three years of operating in Te Raki, from 1866 to 1868, saw a
considerable amount of applications and title determinations. In 1866, the Court
established and issued title to 76 new blocks in the district. The following two years saw
81 and 68 new Native Land Court blocks established. In each of the three years, over
80,000 acres of customary land came under the Crown's tenurial system. These were by
far the three most prolific years in the Court's Te Raki history for the establishment of
new blocks. No other period comes close. Judge Maning reported that the introduction
of the Court was going so well that 'I am worked almost off my legs’.95
However, by the end of this period, title determinations had virtually ceased. In 1874,
just two blocks – a mere 127.9 acres of land – came under the Court system. It might be

stretching things to say that the Native Land Court was saved from oblivion in Te Raki
by the Crown's purchasing programme that began in 1875, but certainly, the Te Raki
Maori desire to bring their land before the Court had declined radically.

Alongside the lack of hoped-for economic development, other drawbacks of the Native
Land Court were becoming noticeable to Maori. While the Te Raki chiefs who
participated in the Haultain inquiry of 1871 generally acknowledged the importance of
the Court and secure legal title to land, they complained about title determinations
initiated without communal approval, the failure of the Court to issue more reserves or
protect against excessive land loss, and the limited role of Native Assessors and Maori in
the title determination process.96 Surveys and Court fees, especially in proportion to
smaller blocks, were high.97 Court hearings in distant locations caused some social and
economic disruption.98 Surveying and hearing applications sparked sometimes violent
conflict among Maori.99
It is likely that all these factors contributed to the decline in Court hearings. But perhaps
the biggest single factor was that private purchasers were by 1874 being driven out of
the market for Maori land in Te Raki as the Crown prepared the way for a massive
purchasing programme. Crown purchasing would increasingly shape and define the
Court's role in Te Raki. But even before the extraordinary events of 1875, the Court in
Te Raki was closely tied to Crown purchase.

1.8. Landlessness and the Court: Mahurangi
This portrayal of Te Raki Maori interacting selectively with the Native Land Court to
create small blocks for whanau farms and mutually beneficial arrangements with
individual Pakeha tells only part of the story. The Court's most dramatic, destructive
impact in its initial decade was in the parts of Te Raki under pressure from Crown
purchase.
In particular, Maori communities in the Mahurangi and Gulf Island sub-region had long
been under pressure from Crown purchasers and the threat of landlessness. The need
for legal, secure title over their few remaining areas was acute. As a result, virtually all
remaining Maori-owned on the Mahurangi mainland was brought before the Court
between 1865 and 1874. During this period, about 79 percent of all known customary
land in the sub-region was clothed in Court title with 20 new blocks established
although the off-shore, 6,980-acre island of Hauturu stayed out of the Court system for a
few more years.
Some of these title determinations went rapidly; others were drawn-out. But the end
result was the almost complete extinguishment of customary title in Mahurangi by the
end of the 1880s and the near landlessness of its communities. The destructive
characteristics and impact of the Court system were quickly revealed in Mahurangi. At
least some Mahurangi Maori rushed towards the Court in a search for legal title and
economic opportunity. But the new tenurial system was to contribute to the Crown's
acquisition of virtually all Maori-owned land in the district.

With its timber and proximity to Auckland, Mahurangi had long been attractive to
Crown and private purchasers. In 1841, the Crown claimed to have bought the entire

chiefs.100 It did so without wide consultation and consent, and failed to ascertain the
boundaries of the land it was purporting to purchase.101
Its actions led to sustained protests from Maori who had not agreed to the 'sale',
including from tribes that the Crown would acknowledge were resident on the land.
Over the next 13 years, the Crown entered into a raft of new transactions in an attempt
to extinguish all Maori interests in Mahurangi.102 O'Malley and Rigby describe these
purchases as deeply flawed, with results verging on the incomprehensible. Combined
with old land claims covering some of the best land on the Mahurangi coastline, the
purchases created what Rigby calls a 'crazy quilt of multiple and overlapping
transactions' covering the district.103
Just three substantial areas on the Mahurangi mainland remained in Maori ownership.
Maori control over these areas, which were surrounded by Crown lands, was far from
secure. The Waiwera–Puhoi and Mangatawhiri–Tawharanui areas had only been
excluded from the pre-1865 purchases due to protests by local chiefs and tribes.
Officials had seemingly promised that these areas would remain permanently in Maori
ownership but had failed to establish them as protected reserves, grant them to Maori,
or adequately define their boundaries. Maori ownership over the larger Pakiri block
was, if anything, more vulnerable still. It had apparently been excluded from the pre-
1865 purchases only because of bureaucratic oversight.104
The possibility that Crown and Europeans would purchase these remaining areas was
ever-present. In 1866, some Maori moved quickly to gain legal title over the remnants of
their rohe. Their motivations were not uniform. Some were interested in selling these
lands. More, it would seem, wanted title to protect the land from sale. Regardless of
their motivations, a number of Mahurangi leaders had concluded that in such a
vulnerable and changing environment, they needed legally recognised title over their
land. But the Court failed to provide adequate protection against subsequent alienation.

Instead, it issued saleable title to a few individuals who proved only too vulnerable to
the sometimes unscrupulous attentions of Crown and private purchasing agents. The
examples which follow demonstrate these general trends.

53
1.8.1. The Waiwera–Puhoi blocks In January 1866, the Ngati Rongo (or Rango) chief Te Hemara Tauhia led a successful
attempt by a closely connected group of Maori to gain Native Land Court title over 6,319
acres of land in the Waiwera–Puhoi area around the Mahurangi Harbour. Although
officials had in the 1850s deemed this area ‘Te Hemara's reserve’, it was legally neither
a reserve nor Te Hemara's.105 The Crown had neglected to officially establish it as a
reserve or grant it to the chief and his people. Te Hemara and his party maintained
kainga and cultivation on the lands and reportedly enjoyed some success in developing
the area.106
But when the Native Land Court era arrived, the land was legally Maori
customary land able to be claimed in the Court by any Maori.
At least for Te Hemara and those included on the titles, the hearings must initially have
seemed like a triumph as they gained legal title over crucial remaining pieces of their
land. In reality, the hearings began a process which led to the virtual landlessness of
these leaders and those they represented.
Crown officials in the 1850s had stated that maintenance of the entire area or 'reserve'
was crucial to Te Hemara and his roughly 100-strong party as 'he has no other place
where he can subsist’.107 Despite this, the Court failed to investigate the need for
alienation restrictions in any depth. Apart from the small Opahi block, the land was left
unprotected from future purchase.108
Instead, title was issued to a small number of individuals legally entitled to alienate the
land without recourse to the wider groups they represented. The evidence suggests that
Te Hemara and the other applicants saw themselves as representatives rather than
individual owners. Te Hemara told the Court that he claimed the Okahu and Puhoi
blocks as the representative of 30 of his relations, all descended from Ngawhetu, whom
he named. At one point, although it was legally impossible for the Court to do so, he
apparently suggested that this entire group should be included on the title.109
105 Rigby, E18, pp 50-52
Similarly,
106 Daamen et al, H2, pp 256-257 107 O’Malley, A6, p 204, p473 108 McBurney, A36, pp 418-438, especially p 420 109 McBurney, p 432
54
he claimed Maungatauhoro on behalf of 48 descendants of Ngawhetu. He told the Court
he represented his Ngati Rongo relations when applying for sole title to the
Orokaraka.110
Te Tuna also made clear to the Court that although he and two others
should be placed on the Opahi title, they represented a group of eight others from
Waikato who held rights to the land.
Te Hemara and others may have claimed and considered themselves to be trustees but
they received absolute and unrestricted title as individuals over these lands. A handful
of individuals received title to all 13 blocks. Te Hemara was granted sole or shared title
to four blocks. The Pomare brothers gained title to four other blocks. Henare Winiata
was named the sole owner of three blocks. Six of the blocks were granted to one
individual. Five blocks had two owners and two blocks had three owners. The small
number of owners to deal with would prove to be a great advantage to Crown and
private purchasers in the years to come.
By 1881, nearly all the Waiwera–Puhoi blocks had been acquired by the Crown and
private purchasers. The only substantial area remaining in Maori ownership was 2,000
acres or so of the Puhoi block. When this was sold in 1893, many Mahurangi Maori were
reported to have left the area. Others lived on the small Opahi block, the only area that
the Court had made inalienable.111
Te Hemara's role in these sales is debated both in submissions to the Tribunal and in
published works. Paul Hamer suggests that Te Hemara profited personally from
exploiting the Native Land Court system, gaining and then selling title to lands and
keeping the proceeds for himself. Other Maori, through the loss of their lands, paid the
price for his material advancement.112 A book by Paul Goldsmith makes these
accusations against Te Hemara in a more extreme manner.113
110 McBurney, A36, p 436 111 Rigby, E18, pp 133-137 112 Daamen et al, H2, pp 256-257 113 Paul Goldsmith, The Rise and Fall of Te Hemara Tauhia, (Auckland: Reed Publishing Ltd, 2003) as summarised in Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 940-942, 946, 948-952
55
On the other hand, Armstrong and Subasic argue that Te Hemara acted as a leader and
not out of personal greed. They posit that he began selling land in the area to gain the
collateral advantages of European settlement and to fund land development and trading
enterprises for the good of his people. The failure of these efforts created a cycle of
sales, each more harmful than the last, with the proceeds used to fund the needs and
debts of his community.114
More directly relevant for this report is the way in which the Crown's tenurial system
and inadequate protective mechanisms contributed to these alienations. The limited
available evidence does not suggest that Te Hemara and others went to the Native Land
Court as part of a strategy to sell their remaining lands. On the contrary, it would seem
that they hoped that Crown title would allow them to sell or lease small areas while they
lived on and developed the rest.
During the hearings, Te Hemara told the Court that the 70-acre Maungatauhoro block
was designated to be sold to Robert Graham for £50.115 He also indicated that they
wanted to lease the eight-acre Orokaraka block to facilitate the shipping trade.116 No
other plans for alienation were indicated. Te Hemara is recorded in the minute books as
saying that he might sell the large Puhoi block to the Government but this was clearly
not his preference. He seemed to mean that he would consider selling Puhoi only if the
Court disrupted his plans to utilise the land by including an opponent, Tai Kiamana, on
the title. When the Court heeded Te Hemara's wishes, the threat of sale was dropped.117
Indeed, in the wake of the hearings, Te Hemara increased his efforts to develop the
Waiwera–Puhoi lands. There were no major sales. In 1867, Judge Rogan praised the
chief for fencing and making improvements as part of his involvement in ‘European-
style farming’.118
114 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 940-950
Rogan suggested that these advances were proof that the Native Land
Court system encouraged Maori enterprise and prosperity. It is possible that Te Hemara
115 McBurney, A36, p 433; Rigby, E18, p134 116 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 949; McBurney, A36, p 436 117 This is my understanding of McBurney, A36, p 438 118 Daamen et al, H2, p 257
56
funded these developments in part by selling land elsewhere but he was holding on to
land in Waiwera–Puhoi at this stage.
But within a few years, Waiwera–Puhoi was under renewed pressure from the
Government and private purchasers. In 1873, the Crown purchased the Okaihu block of
2,408 acres.119 This made control over Puhoi, the only substantial Maori-owned block in
the area more important still. But from 1876 to 1877, Robert Graham acquired 280
acres of this 2,408-acre block.120 It was around this time that the Commissioner of
Native Reserves, Charles Heaphy, warned the Crown that areas needed by Te Hemara's
people for their villages and cultivations in Puhoi were being purchased, and called for
stronger protective mechanisms to be instituted.121 This call went unheeded. In 1891,
Te Hemara died and his descendants sold the land. Some left the area. Others lived on
the 123-acre Opahi block, the only block upon which the Court had issued alienation
restrictions.122
The Crown's tenurial system, in the individualised title it issued and in its failure to
institute effective mechanisms, played a part in what Rigby terms this 'sad tale of
alienation'.123 The Native Land Court in Mahurangi was the latest in a number of
regimes that had led to land loss in Mahurangi. O'Malley argues that the Crown's
'reckless disregard' for the long-term interests of Mahurangi Maori had begun with its
pre-1865 purchases and the failure to reserve the Waiwera–Puhoi area as a permanent
tribal endowment. The land was made subject to the Native Land Court system and 'left
bereft' of protection from alienation. The result was, as O'Malley puts it, 'more or less
complete landlessness’.124

Figure 5: The Mangatawhiri and Tawharanui Blocks
1.8.2. Mangatawhiri and Tawharanui The background and results of the Mangatawhiri–Tawharanui title determinations
resembled the situation in Waiwera–Puhoi. In both areas, Maori land ownership
survived the pre-1865 Mahurangi purchasing but not the introduction of the Court
system.
There is only limited and confusing evidence regarding how Mangatawhiri and
Tawharanui were not included in the Crown's pre-1865 Mahurangi purchases. What is
known is that the chief Parihoro was a persistent opponent of the Crown's claims to
have acquired all of Mahurangi in 1841. During attempts to extinguish Parihoro's
interests in the wider area, Crown officials apparently suggested a reserve would be set
aside for him in the Tawharanui Peninsula. Crown officials considered that, in
combination with the Waiwera–Puhoi lands, Parihoro's area would constitute 'ample
58
reserves' for the entire Mahurangi area.125 However, the Crown failed to define the area
under discussion or officially set aside any land for Parihoro.126
Things became more confused as other leaders in the Mahurangi area, including
Parihoro's relations Te Kiri and Te More, demanded recognition of their land rights.
They believed that they had secured a commitment from Crown purchase agent – and
later Native Land Court judge – Rogan for a reserve around Omaha. Once again, this area
was never officially granted as a reserve or clearly defined.127
It would seem that some Mahurangi Maori saw the Native Land Court as a chance to
define and gain clear control over these neighbouring and possibly overlapping
'reserves'. The title hearing for the Mangatawhiri block was scheduled for January 1866
but adjourned due to a lack of survey plans. Eventually the survey was completed, with
the applicants incurring considerable debts in the process. The surveyor, E A Tole
claimed in Court a hefty £125 lien.128
Title investigations took place in February 1873. Unlike in Waiwera–Puhoi, pre-hearing
attempts by Maori to present a united claim were unsuccessful. A number of claimants
gave evidence, including Te Kiri's daughter Rahui and Arama Karaka Haututu.
Parihoro's nephew also claimed interests in the block.129 The Court's minutes suggest
that this evidence focused on ancestral and customary claims to the land and that the
Court did not inquire into the more recent background of the block, namely the pre-
1865 Mahurangi purchases and the promises of reserves in the area.130
Instead, the Court stated that claimants with links to the ancestor Maki would be
granted rights to the land. This excluded Parihoro's nephew who claimed rights through
his Te Parawhau and Nga Puhi links. After discussions among the grantees, the Court
agreed that the block would be divided into three sections and granted to 18 individuals
when the required surveys were completed. Mangatawhiri 1, eventually surveyed at 125 Rigby, E18, p 51 126 Rigby, E18, pp 51-53 127 Rigby, E18, pp 58-60 128 Rigby, E18, pp 446, 451 129 Rigby, E18, p 450 130 McBurney, A36, pp 446-452
59
1,957 acres, was granted to eight individuals including Arama Karaka, Rahui Te Kiri, and
Hori Te More.131
Title to Mangatawhiri 2 (1,435 acres) went to seven individuals including Te Hemara
Tauhia. Mangatawhiri 3 was awarded to Ruka Taiaho, Wiremu Patene and the minor Te
Kiri. The Court placed no alienation restrictions on the two larger portions,
Mangatawhiri 1 and 2. This presumably reflected its belief, noted in the judgment, that
all the grantees 'have an abundance of land elsewhere’.132 As has been mentioned, there
is no indication that this pronouncement was the result of in-depth investigation.
Mangatawhiri was one of the few parts of Mahurangi still in Maori ownership. The
Court's failure to issue alienation restrictions was followed by the swift purchase of
Mangatawhiri 1 and 2 by Pakeha.133
Around this time, the neighbouring Tawharanui block of 1,260 acres also came under
the Court system. This block may have included the area promised as a reserve to
Parihoro although this is far from clear. No information about the hearings or awards
has been found. What is clear is that by 1877 this block had also been purchased.134
The only portion of these lands to survive this process of Court title and quick alienation
was the small Mangatawhiri 3 block. This, not coincidentally, was the only piece of the
Mangatawhiri–Tawharanui land restricted from alienation by the Court. It remained a
rare block of Maori land in Mahurangi until its alienation restrictions were lifted in
1909. It was purchased in 1912.135

Figure 6: The Pakiri Block
1.8.3. Pakiri The loss of the Waiwera–Puhoi and the Mangatawhiri–Tawharanui areas was a
significant blow to the remaining land holdings of Mahurangi Maori. If anything, what
happened at Pakiri (also known as the Pakiri North block) was more damaging. This
30,000-acre block was, in Barry Rigby's words, a 'last prized possession' and by far the
largest piece of Maori-owned land remaining in Mahurangi. It was the sole significant
piece of Maori-owned land on the entire east coast from Auckland to Whangarei and the
only continuous strip of Maori land between Kaipara and the coast.136
However, the Native Land Court system failed to protect this land against the designs of
Crown and private purchasers. In 1869, the Court ordered title to be issued to Pakiri,
subject to the completion of a survey, without imposing any alienation restrictions. This
136 Rigby, E18, p 112
61
large block was granted to just three individuals even though one of the main
applicants, Te Kiri, told the Court that others claimed the land. Te Kiri explained that he
had tried to extinguish some of these claims through financial payments but expected
that 'there will be opposition' if the Court did not recognise their rights in Pakiri.137
The hearings and awards were apparently the result of agreements between three
chiefs with ties to Mahurangi: Te Kiri, his relative Te More, and Arama Karaka Haututu.
They appear to have wanted to use Court title to secure ongoing Maori control over this
crucial block. Upon their request, title was allocated not to these chiefs but to their heirs
and representatives, a new generation of leaders. The aged Te Kiri placed his daughter
Rahui, who would later provide strong resistance to Crown attempts to acquire the land,
on the title. Te More was represented by his son, Hori Panapa. Arama Karaka installed a
minor, Wiapo Te Whakationga, the son of an ally of his, on the title.138
But Maori control over this land was threatened by debt, including from the Court
process itself. Te Kiri told the Court he had already paid £146 for the incomplete survey
of Pakiri and that the total cost would come to £400.139 Te More had been successfully
sued by the storekeeper John McLeod for over £290, a debt which McLeod wanted Te
More to settle through a transfer of land.140
Most critically, the Court hearing entwined these chiefs and the fate of Pakiri with the
lawyer (and later Native Minister) John Sheehan. In Rigby's opinion, Sheehan played a
'disgraceful' part in the eventual alienation of the land.141 Sheehan’s multiple roles in
the sale of Pakiri included representing Te Kiri during the title hearing and acting for Te
More in his court battles with John McLeod over store debt. He used his influence to be
named, alongside Arama Karaka, as the trustee for the minor Wiapo.142
137 McBurney, A36, p 441. Note that Te Kiri's evidence, briefly recorded and translated in the minute books, is not easy to understand. 138 McBurney, A36, pp 441-444 139 McBurney, A36, p 441 140 Berghan, A39(f), pp 73-4 141 Rigby, E18, p 119 142 Rigby, E18, p 114
62
But Sheehan was simultaneously working for the storekeeper McLeod and had by 1872
devised a plan for the Crown to purchase all of Pakiri. According to this proposal, Te
More's debt to McLeod and Sheehan's legal fees would be paid out of the purchase price
given to Maori. The Crown, eager to acquire Pakiri as part of the construction of the
Great North Road, agreed.143
The Crown could not secure the legal agreement of any of the three owners to the sale
of Pakiri. Rahui Te Kiri refused to sell. Te Waipo was a minor and legally could not sell.
Te More's son had died. His son, a minor, was named as his successor with his
grandfather, Te More, acting as trustee. Crown purchase agent Edward Brissenden was
undeterred by this problem. In 1874, he made payments to the trustees of two of the
owners – the debt-ridden and cash-strapped Te More and Arama Karaka, and the
duplicitous Sheehan –who then signed a deed purporting to transfer the entire block to
the Crown.144
By 1876, the Crown acknowledged that the whole transaction was illegal. One of the
three owners, Rahui Te Kiri, had not signed and refused to sell. The other vendors were
trustees not entitled to sell. But the Crown refused to abandon its claims to Pakiri. In
1877, Sheehan, by this stage the Native Minister, shepherded through Parliament a law
allowing trustees to sell the property of minors and retroactively validating prior sales
such as Pakiri. Rahui Te Kiri continued to resist but in 1880 the Native Land Court
subdivided Pakiri into three areas, each approximately 10,000 acres. Two of the
subdivisions were granted to the Crown on the basis of the 1874 'sale' by Sheehan and
the other trustees.145
Only Rahui Te Kiri's section remained in Maori ownership. It was the base for many of
those Mahurangi Maori who remained in the region. But the Court imposed no
alienation restrictions on the land and much of it was alienated in the 1920s.146
143 Rigby, E18, p 114
By
1865, Mahurangi Maori were threatened with virtual landlessness. The Native Land
Court system helped turn that threat into a reality.

1.9. Large-Scale Interaction with the Court Leading to Large-Scale
Land Loss: Puhipuhi–Whakapara Most blocks established by the Native Land Court in Te Raki during this period were
relatively small. Nonetheless, the Court's most profound impact was by awarding a few
large blocks to a handful of individuals. Indeed, most Te Raki land that came under the
Crown's new tenurial system during this period was grouped together in a few large
blocks. Only 18 blocks of more than 5,000 acres were established between 1865 and
1874 but they collectively contained about 211,972 acres. By way of contrast, title was
awarded for 249 blocks of 100 acres or less but these blocks collectively containing just
7,165 acres (see tables and graphs in section 1.7).
What shall be termed the Puhipuhi–Whakapara area, stretching between the Bay of
Islands and Whangarei sub-regions, was at the heart of early Native Land Court activity
in Te Raki. No other locality saw a comparable amount of customary land passed
through the Court. Within a decade, local Maori had received or were in the process of
receiving Crown title over more than 128,000 acres. This encapsulated the great
majority of Maori-owned land in this locality. Only two pockets of customary Maori land
remained. Not coincidentally, Puhipuhi–Whakapara was also the main centre for Crown
purchasing in Te Raki during this period. Indeed, this area would be an early example of
the fact that in Te Raki, where Crown purchasers went, the Court was soon to follow.
By the mid-1860s, the Crown had acquired considerable land in this area, which it
considered to be valuable hinterlands for the Bay of Islands and Whangarei ports. The
1862 Hikurangi purchase took Crown ownership to within a few miles of Whangarei,
while the 1864 Ruapekapeka purchase gave it access to the Bay of Islands through the
Kawakawa outlet. The Crown sought to link up these purchases and create a large,
strategically and economically important area of European-owned land.147
With the dismantling of the Native Purchase Department in 1865, responsibility for
Crown purchasing in Te Raki was transferred to the Auckland Provincial Government.
From 1866, its purchasing officer, John White was negotiating and making advance
147 Derby, A61, p 34
65
payments to acquire large parts of the Puhipuhi–Whakapara area even though these
were customary areas belonging to wider communities under traditional tenure. The
individual Maori who received advance payment for these lands were not legally
recognised owners and had no right to sell. There is nothing to suggest that White paid
these individuals after careful investigation into who held legitimate interests in the
area. Instead, he paid a few local Maori keen to sell land, and then assisted them to carry
out the necessary surveys and apply to the Court for title. Once they received title, they
could officially sell the land to the Auckland Provincial Government.148
These advance payments led to the May 1867 hearings for the Otonga and Opuawhanga
(or Opuawhango) blocks. It would appear that the investigations and title
determinations to these blocks were quick and perfunctory. A small group of local Maori
successfully sought title to large areas that they were already negotiating to sell to the
Crown.149
It is difficult to gauge to what degree wider groups and tribes knew about and
supported these Court applications – or the subsequent transactions. The crucial point
is that the Court does not seem to have been bothered by such issues. No alienation
restrictions were levelled on these blocks even though, or perhaps because, the Court
was informed that there had already been prior agreements to 'give up' the land to the
Auckland Provincial Government.150
Indeed, the Court issued alienable, absolute title to
a handful of individuals, despite having the power under the 1865 Act to award blocks
of over 5,000 acres to tribes.
On 14 May 1867, the Court granted title to the Otonga 1 (26,810 acres) and Otonga 2
(1,226 acres). Two days later, title was awarded for Opuawhanga (or Opuawhango) 1-4,
collectively comprising an estimated 33,193 acres.151
148 Derby, A61, p 37
After the title determination, the
Auckland Provincial Government made a series of further payments to the awardees
149 Berghan, A39(e), pp 135-136, 239-240 150 The Native Land Court apparently did either reserve or exclude three areas from the Opuawhanga 1 and 4 blocks and Otonga 1. However, Pipiwharauroa and Ngatahuna were subsequently purchased by the Crown. Little evidence is available about the Te Wairahi block but only small portions of it remain Maori land. See Rigby, A56, Appendix B; and Berghan, A39(h), p 161. 151 Opuawhanga 1–3 received interlocutory orders only, as the required surveys were not complete.

(and apparently to other Maori). By May 1870, it considered all these blocks to be fully
and finally acquired. However, the chaotically implemented and recorded process of
payments replete with accusations of forgery, loss of the deeds, and dissension from
Maori prompted the Crown to arrange for new deeds to be signed in 1878. This was
duly achieved – albeit not without ongoing protests from Maori – and the Opuawhanga
and Otonga blocks were officially declared Crown land.152
The 1867 title determination into Opuawhanga and Otonga encouraged more hearings
and sales in the region. In particular, the hearings were a success for Eru Nehua and
Haki Whangawhanga of Ngati Hau. After being granted Otonga 1, they immediately sold
it to the Auckland Provincial Government. Mark Derby's report suggests that Nehua,
whom he depicts as a 'modernising and entrepreneurial figure', had devised a clear
strategy with regard to the Native Land Court.153 He was determined to gain title to and
sell large areas to the Crown. At the same time, he sought secure permanent legal
control for his whanau and people over their home base of Taharoa, where Nehua had
farmed since 1862. After receiving title and payment for Otonga 1, Nehua proposed to
his fellow Ngati Hau leaders that he return immediately to the Court to gain title over
Taharoa. They disagreed but a compromise was reached under which Nehua would lead
the Ngati Hau effort to gain title over all of Puhipuhi. Once this was achieved, he would
have the Court grant him and his whanau the southern parts of the block, which
included Taharoa. In 1871, Nehua arranged for the survey of Puhipuhi in preparation
for a Court hearing.154
Nehua's plan met resistance from other chiefs and tribes claiming connections to
Puhipuhi. The powerful Ngati Hine chief Maihi Paraone Kawiti was particularly
opposed. While Nehua wanted Court title and Crown sales to finance his development of
Taharoa, Kawiti was apparently engaged in similar efforts to fund his people's
endeavours around Kawakawa. In 1873, Kawiti sought a Crown loan for a mill he was
establishing that 'will raise us up and make us more prosperous’.155

west of Puhipuhi as security. The Crown refused to loan the money and instead offered
to buy the land. It would seem that Kawiti promptly went to the Court and gained title
for himself and others of Ngati Hine over the 19,500-acre Hukerenui block, before
selling it to the Crown on 5 November 1873.156
In 1873, the first hearings for Puhipihi took place. Nehua's claim of the land on behalf of
Ngati Hau was opposed by Kawiti representing Ngati Hine, and Horotene Tawatawa
representing Ngati Wai and others. This case is discussed in more detail below.
Pertinent to our current discussion is that the opposition within the Court complicated
and delayed but did not prevent another large-scale Court award and Crown purchase.
The Crown continued to make advance payments and title was finally awarded in 1883.
Almost immediately, most of Puhipuhi was sold to the Crown although Nehua and his
whanau did secure two small blocks around Taharoa (Puhipihi 4 and 5), which they
would try to develop for the rest of the century.157
Puhipuhi, with its drawn-out hearings, was the exception to the rule in this area. The
Court granted Kawiti sole title to the 27,800-acre Wairua block which he sold to the
Crown on 2 June 1875.158
In little more than a decade, over 128,000 acres of Maori land
in the Puhipuhi–Whakapara area had passed through the Court. Apart from a few small
areas, all this land was purchased by the Crown. The Court in its first decade in Te Raki,
at least in Puhipuhi–Whakapara, was part of a process in which a few individuals sold
large amounts of land. Title hearings were prompted by the payment of advances and
pressure from Crown purchase agents. Few alienation restrictions were issued and the
Court's issuing of title led directly to land sales and large-scale land loss.
These hearings had far-reaching consequences not just for local Maori but for the Court
process in Te Raki. What happened in Puhipuhi–Whakapara was, at least from the
Crown's perspective, an early and successful trial of tactics that would prove
devastatingly effective in Te Raki in the coming years. As will be shown, from the mid- 156 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 936-939; Berghan, A39(e), p194; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 1. This is my understanding of the chronology, but the lack of title information on Hukerenui makes it possible, although unlikely, that Kawiti had already secured title to the land before he offered it as security for the loan. 157 Derby, A61, in various places 158 Derby, A61, pp 30, 96; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 8
68
1870s the Court in Te Raki frequently granted title to a few Maori who had already
received advance payments for the land and wished to complete the transaction. This
pattern of advance payments, awarding land to those who were already committed to
selling it, and then final sale risked dispossessing Maori by allowing large areas of land
to be sold without communal control or general consent. It also posed real risks for the
integrity and independence of the Court. The Court was tacitly encouraged to act as an
assistant or agent to the Crown's land purchasing department rather than as an
independent judicial body charged with weighty investigative and protective
responsibilities. This danger would only grow in the following years.

2. Chapter Two: The Court and Crown Land
Purchasing, 1875–1880
2.1. Introduction Between 1875 and 1880, the Native Land Court cemented its dominance in Te Raki and
emerged as a key element and ally in the Crown's land purchasing programme in the
region. During its first decade, the Court's impact – and the way it was used and seen by
Te Raki Maori – was far from uniform. While it was associated with large-scale
alienations and landlessness in some parts of Te Raki, Maori in other parts of the
inquiry district had restricted and not necessarily negative interaction with the Court.
They retained significant amounts of land in customary tenure while using the Court to
gain legal title over generally small blocks. Legal title was sought for diverse reasons,
including as part of efforts by local Maori to achieve economic development. While the
benefits of this type of interaction with the Court were initially limited, so were the
drawbacks.
But from 1875, the Court's key influence upon Te Raki was unmistakable. It was an
integral part of the process by which Maori land was transferred to the Crown. Most
importantly, the Court awarded large areas of formerly communally controlled land to
small numbers of individual Maori who were already arranging to sell it to the Crown.
Simultaneously, the Crown was also snapping up land that had earlier come under the
Court system. The unprecedented speed and scale of land transactions during these
years encouraged local Maori to seek legal title over their remaining lands. These few
years were the period in which the Native Land Court had the most effect on Te Raki
Maori. From this time on, the Native Land Court was inextricably connected, in the view
of Te Raki Maori, with massive land loss. The Court during this period was shaped and
defined by its role in Crown land purchasing.
70
2.2. The Court in Control Between 1875 and 1880, traditional, collective methods of holding Maori land became a
diminishing force in Te Raki. In 1865, when the Native Land Court became operative, Te
Raki Maori had at least 935,755 acres of land in customary tenure. By 1880, at least
581,060 acres had gone under the Crown's land titling system. This was 62.10 percent
of all known Maori land in Te Raki. If land that went before the Court during an
unknown period is excluded, we can say that approximately 69.8 percent of the Court's
titling of Te Raki had taken place by 1880. By that time, most of the Court's work – at
least in terms of bringing Maori land into the Crown's tenurial system and awarding
ownership to individuals – had been done.

The Court system was by this point dominant in all five sub-regions. In Whangarei, the
largest of the sub-regions, 78.1 percent of land that was Maori-owned in 1865 had been
titled by the Court by 1880. Most Maori land in Hokianga (63.2 percent), Bay of Islands
(57 percent) and Whangaroa (59.4 percent) sub-regions had also come under the new,
individualised system of land tenure. This is shown in the table and graph below.

The situation was more extreme in Mahurangi and the Gulf Islands where the first years
of the Court largely extinguished customary tenure. Between 1865 and 1880, the Court
ordered title to be issued to 81.8 percent of Maori-owned land in this sub-region. Much
of the remaining land, including the one substantial area of Maori land remaining in
customary title, the off-shore island of Hauturu (6,960 acres), was already before the
Court and awaiting final titling.159
The Crown's titling system spread at a rate not seen before or after in Te Raki. Between
1875 and 1880, at least 255,000 acres of Maori land was titled by the Court at an
average of more than 42,643 acres per year. This was even quicker than the period
between 1865 and 1874, when around 325,200 acres was titled at an average of 32,520
acres per year (see table and graph below).

The Court was most active in the Whangarei sub-region, awarding title to 132,749 acres
of previously customary land. It was also busy making title determinations in Hokianga
involving 52,003 acres, the Bay of Islands 39,568 acres, and Whangaroa 24,567 acres.
As has been seen, there was little left for the Court to do in Mahurangi and the Gulf
Islands with customary title and Maori land ownership already on its way out.

As with the previous decade, the Court established many small blocks, but most Maori
land that went through the Court was concentrated in a few large titles. The Court
issued memorials of ownership to 202 new Native Land Court blocks between 1875 and
1880. Only 11 were larger than 5,000 acres but these blocks accounted for a combined
101,856.6 acres. By contrast, the 59 blocks of 100 acres or fewer held a combined total
of just 2,045.6 acres.

2.3. The Turning Point: 1875–1876 The short period from 1875 to 1876 can be considered the turning point in the history
of the Court in Te Raki and its role in Maori land loss. During these years the Court was
busier and, in terms of its role in Maori land loss, had a greater impact than at any other
stage before or after.
This was a sudden surge. In 1874, Court activities had largely ground to a halt in Te
Raki, with just 127.9 acres of Maori land titled. But the Court's apparent irrelevance was
short-lived in 1875 the Court awarded title to about 138,043 acres (see table and graph
below). Crown purchasing agents were already active in the district and would play a
significant role in a flood of new applications and title determinations.

As Armstrong and Subasic discuss, the Crown's land purchasing programme in Te Raki
began in earnest in 1874.160 Its agents sought to acquire land that had already been
titled by the Native Land Court – and therefore had legally recognised owners – but
focused much of their efforts on acquiring large chunks of customary land. The fact that
these customary lands were not legally alienable and had no legally recognised owners
proved an only temporary and easily overcome barrier to the Crown. Its purchasing
agents were soon confidently claiming, even before the Court had met, that they had
acquired or were about to acquire large areas in Te Raki.161
What the Crown needed to complete these transactions was for the Court to play its part
and issue legally-alienable title to these lands, particularly to Maori willing to sell them.
Initially, purchasing agents were frustrated by delays caused by the Court process,
which they believed should facilitate and serve the Crown's purchasing agenda, not
complicate or delay it. In August 1874, the Crown's most prolific purchasing agent in Te
Raki, E T Brissenden, suggested to Native Minister Donald McLean that the Native Land
Court should be instructed to relax its 'technical' requirements when ruling on lands the
Government wanted to buy in Te Raki as:

the large nature of Government transactions, the fact that the Government is purchasing on public account and in the interest of the whole colony, renders it a not unreasonable demand that blocks handed over by them for investigation by the Native Land Court should not be governed by the cast-iron rules which are applied, and properly applied, to private purchasers.162
Brissenden argued that Native Land Court judges should be requested ‘to give the
utmost facility to the passage of Government blocks through the Court, and to waive the
enforcement of technical rules in such cases’.163
In general, Court officials were supportive of Crown land purchasing and sympathetic to
the wishes of its purchase agents. Even Judge Maning, who strongly opposed aspects of
the interaction between the Court and Crown purchasing agents, met with Brissenden
in September 1874 to discuss how the title investigation process could better facilitate
land alienation. Armstrong and Subasic detail Maning's quite extraordinary suggestions
about how this could be achieved, including the idea that purchase agents could, in
effect, replace the Native Land Court and decide which Maori were entitled to own (and
sell) lands, and, apparently, that Brissenden be appointed a judge to aid his purchasing
efforts.164
Such overt breaches of the Court's nominal independence were neither carried out in Te
Raki nor needed by Crown purchasing agents. By 1875, the twin processes of Court
titling and Crown purchasing were proceeding at a remarkable rate. Court hearings
were taking place throughout Te Raki (except in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-
region), with much of the land, especially in the larger blocks, acquired by the Crown
soon after title was awarded. Rigby calculated that in 1875 the Crown completed the
purchase of 207,382 acres of Maori land in Te Raki. In 1876, it acquired another
113,937 acres. Together this represented just over 70 percent of the acreage purchased
by the Crown in the inquiry district between 1875 and 1880. As Rigby notes, before or
162 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 657 163 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 659-660 164 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 649, 1028
79
after, there was 'nothing comparable' to these 'two remarkable years' of Crown
purchasing.165
Armstrong and Subasic argue that this 'frenzy' of purchasing was 'the beginning of the
economic and political demise of northern Maori'.166 It was the most hectic two years of
Crown land purchasing in Te Raki history, unmatched by either the Crown's pre-1865
acquisitions or the 1890s wave of buying under the Liberal Government. These two
years did much to define both life in Te Raki and the character of the Court for the rest
of the 19th century and beyond. Rigby calculates that around half of all Crown
purchasing between 1865 and 1900 took place in 1875–1876.167
After this surge, Crown
purchasing slowed but did not stop. Between 1877 and the end of 1880, the Crown
acquired another 118,449 acres of Maori land in Te Raki.

The Court was an essential part of this purchasing. From 1875, it worked quickly and –
at least in the view of Crown purchasing agents – efficiently to issue title to Maori land
that the Crown then purchased. In 1875, the Court issued memorials of ownership for
more than 207,000 acres, the most Maori land ever titled in a single year in Te Raki. The

Court would never issue anywhere near this amount of land title again, and during the
period from 1875 to 1880, the Crown purchased more land than the Court titled. (This
data is shown in bold the table below and is circled on the accompanying graph). But
the relative slowdown in Court activities was not an impediment to Crown purchasers.
Rather, it was a reflection that the Crown's desire for new hearings and new purchases
was growing satiated.

2.4. The Crown Purchasing Process and the Court The Native Land Court in Te Raki was confronted with major and opposing pressures
during this period. The most transformative challenge was the extent and nature of the
Crown's purchasing programme. In particular, the influence and tactics used by Crown
purchase agents posed a challenge to the independence of the Court.
Armstrong and Subasic argue that the Crown routinely made advance payments to Te
Raki Maori who were not yet the legal owners of the land in question, and then sought
to have the Court grant title to these individuals so that sale could be completed.168
As
shown above, Crown agents such as Brissenden already viewed these lands as
'Government blocks' and expected the Court to act in the 'interest of the whole colony'
and issue title in such a way that would ensure the speedy completion of sale.
As mentioned, there is a lack of transparency and documentation surrounding the
interaction between Crown purchasing and Court decisions during this period.
Nonetheless, the evidence available suggests that Crown purchase agents played an
intimate and multi-faceted role in the Court process. Crown agents were in frequent
contact, both formal and informal, with Court officials. By negotiating and making
payments prior to Court title determination, they effectively selected who they wished
to be named as the legal owners.169 Crown agents assisted would-be grantees/vendors
to navigate the Court process, including arranging for the land to be surveyed – and the
survey costs to be paid for out of subsequent payments for land – and making
applications for hearings on their behalf.170 Brissenden, Preece, Nelson, Kemp, and
other purchasing officers were also routinely present during Court hearings. At times,
they explicitly informed Court officials of the advance payments and purchasing
arrangements they had made and who they wished the land to be granted to in order to
give effect to those arrangements. In any case, Court officials were well aware of the
extent of Crown pre-title land dealings.171
168 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 677, 702-703 169 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 689, 702-704 170 Clarkson, A58, p 35; Daamen et al, H2, p 238; Berghan, A39(g), p 180 171 Berghan, A39(e), p 269; Berghan, A39(g), p 180; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 707-711
83
It is likely – although there is little explicit evidence for this – that Crown purchase
agents played an important role in the informal discussions that took place during Court
hearings and recesses that were vital in selecting which Maori would appear on the
memorial of ownership. Crown purchasing agents sometimes gave evidence during title
determinations and lobbied the Native Minister to reject applications for any title
rehearings that might complicate their purchase plans. The courtroom itself was often
used as the place to complete transactions, with judges acting as witnesses to the final
payments.172
There was consequently a considerable risk that Crown purchasing agents would have
undue direct or indirect influence over the Court's titling process. This was particularly
dangerous in that the Crown's agents wanted particular Maori installed as owners so
that they could sell the land. Crown agents generally preferred to deal with a minimum
number of vendors, and, according to Armstrong and Subasic, did little to determine
whether those they were dealing with were the only right holders to the land in
question. They suggest that Crown purchase agents in Te Raki were sometimes careless
and rushed into deciding who they would make advance payments to and support
during the Court process. Purchase agents often dealt with prominent chiefs but there is
little evidence that the Crown – or subsequently the Court – ascertained whether these
leaders had the support of all of their own community, let alone that of other tribes and
communities, in these title and selling arrangements. In areas with histories of complex
tribal disputes, the Crown sometimes dealt with individuals from only one of the rival
groups. Indeed, Armstrong and Subasic suggest that on some occasions the Crown used
any willing vendor without investigating the legitimacy of their interests.173
Advance payments – and the resulting Court hearings – proved to be 'remarkably
effective' in securing vast areas of Te Raki land for the Crown, especially as Maori who
received advances felt bound to the agreement and rarely refused completion.174
172 Berghan A39(f), p 40; Clarkson, A58, pp 55-57. The Native Land Court Act 1873 required that signatures to Crown purchases be witnessed by a Native Land Court judge or Resident Magistrate plus one other 'credible' witness. See Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 655
Advance payments deepened the individualising tendencies of the Court process and
173 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 681-683, 689-696, 702-704 174 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 678
84
further undermined the already restricted ability of Te Raki Maori to collectively
control, limit and benefit from the sale of their land. These payments encouraged and
enabled individuals to seek title and sell land themselves, without necessarily receiving
communal backing. But advances also drew others, including important chiefs, into the
land-titling and selling process. It would seem to have been a regular occurrence in Te
Raki that Crown agents made their initial advance payment to less prominent Maori.
This provoked some chiefs to try to take the lead role in purchase negotiations, title
hearings and sales.
The result of advance payments was hearings and sales but also sometimes confusion
and anger. The area to be included in the eventual sale was usually not precisely
defined. Instead, Crown agents sought some sort of vague preliminary agreement that
would bind the vendors to complete the sale after the Court process was successfully
managed. Maori were often tied to selling land to the Crown at low prices and prevented
from dealing with private purchasers. Advances led to conflict between vendors and
those Maori who discovered, often during surveys in advance of title hearings, that
others were seeking to gain title and sell land they claimed an interest in. Indeed,
Armstrong and Subasic equated it to dynamite.175
2.5. The Native Land Act 1873 If Crown purchasing tactics posed problems for Te Raki Maori, they could also be
considered a challenge to the entire purpose of the Native Land Court. The Crown's land
titles (and land purchasing) system was purportedly built around the concept that the
Court investigated and issued title to those it considered to be the customary owners of
a block. The Court defined the legal owners of land. Only subsequently, and subject to
the restrictions and conditions imposed by the Court, could Crown or private
purchasers discuss purchasing land from the legal owners.176
Advance payments threatened to uproot this system. They meant that the Court's titling
process followed the path of purchase negotiation, not vice versa. Pre-payments were
'absolutely void' under the law. They were not illegal but they had no official standing in 175 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 45, 689-691 176 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 50-51
85
the Court's system.177
The Court's responsibility was to determine who held ownership
rights to land, not to issue title to those who wished to sell to the Crown.
The Native Land Act 1873 appeared to strengthen the Court's responsibility to carry out
thorough investigations into who had customary rights to land brought before the court,
so that it could name all those with interests on the memorial of ownership. Numerous
authors have argued that this Act furthered the individualisation of Maori land
ownership and contributed to the destruction of communal society.178
Nonetheless, for
our current discussion, the key point is that section 47 of the Act appeared to obligate
the Court to ascertain and list every person with interests in the land on the memorial of
ownership. Given that the Act did not provide for any form of Maori representative or
trustee ownership, Maori rights to land could only be legally recognised and protected
through naming each and every individual with rights to the land.
It could be argued that section 46 watered this down somewhat by allowing the Court to
adopt voluntary arrangements reached by the claimants. But even if the Court did so, it
was still required to record the names of all those consenting to the arrangement.179
Furthermore, this section apparently allowed the Court to formalise only voluntary
arrangements between claimants and cross-claimants. It did not allow, or so a
discussion on this issue by Armstrong and Subasic would seem to indicate, the Court to
award title to an individual or individuals because they claimed that the wider
community of owners had agreed to this. Legal opinion might clarify this but it would
seem that the Native Land Act 1873 required the Court to ascertain and award title to
all the owners, and not just to those claiming to be representatives or appointees.180
Careful and full investigations were needed if the Court was to have any opportunity to
fulfil these responsibilities. Under the Act, this responsibility included pre-hearing
investigations. District officers were appointed to investigate claims before they were
177 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 49-50 178 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 86-87, 91-93; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 806-815 which summarises how the Act has been viewed. 179 Heather Bassett, Rachel Steel and Dr David Williams (writers and compilers), The Maori Land Legislation Manual Te Puka Ako Hanganga Mo Nga Ture Whenua Maori, (Wellington: Crown Forestry Rental Trust, 1994, 1995 update), section 46, Native Land Act 1873 180 See Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 707-716
86
considered by the Court, and to inform judges of any relevant information, including
whether other Maori apart from the applicants were claiming the land. Section 21
required the district officers to prepare maps and information on tribal rights.181
Section 38 required Native Land Court judges to carry out their own preliminary
investigations into whether the application for hearing was legitimate, to approve the
preparation of surveys, and to identify witnesses with important evidence that needed
to appear at the hearing.182
During this period, the Native Land Court in Te Raki was therefore often faced with two
quite contradictory pressures. Crown purchase officers wanted the Court to award title
as speedily as possible to the specific individuals they were negotiating to buy the land
from. If the Court did not, the Crown risked losing the money spent on advance
payments and, more broadly, the disruption of its entire purchasing programme.
On the other hand, the Court's governing legislation – and the already severely
threatened rights of Maori – seemed to require careful investigation followed by issuing
title to every individual with interests in the land, regardless of whether or not they had
participated in pre-hearing negotiations to sell the land. We now discuss how the Court
dealt with these pressures.
2.6. Court Operations and Crown Purchasing The Court's titling process in Te Raki proved to be of tremendous assistance to Crown
purchase agents during this period. Title to large blocks was regularly awarded to a few
individuals who were willing to sell the land to the Crown. In many cases, those
awarded title had received pre-payments or indicated their willingness to sell the land.
For Crown purchase agents, the road from pre-title negotiation to title determination
and then to finalised alienations was often remarkably smooth.
Despite the new legislative requirements of the 1873 Native Land Act, there appears to
have been few changes in the mode and thoroughness of the Native Land Court's
inquiries in Te Raki. The limited available evidence indicates that title determinations 181 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 682; Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 87 182 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 683; Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 87
87
were sometimes brief, with evidence given and a decision completed after a day or less
of hearing. In some cases, including those involving large blocks, there was no or
relatively little opposition to the main applicants, and little indication of in-depth
questioning and cross-examination.
As in the earlier decade, the Court continued to be willing – even keen – to rubber-
stamp out-of-court arrangements over title matters. This continued even though the
Court was sometimes explicitly informed, and could not but be aware, that many of
these arrangements would result in the immediate sale of the land. Despite the apparent
requirement of the Native Land Act 1873 that all owners be named on the memorial of
ownership, the Court frequently awarded land to a few individuals presumably on the
basis that they had been selected by, or represented, wider groups of owners. As will be
discussed, a senior Court official protested, largely in vain, about this practice.
Other features and requirements of the 1873 Native Land Act were also overlooked in
the rush toward title determination and alienation. District officers were eventually
appointed, including W E Webster in the Hokianga and Mangonui districts, Gilbert Mair
in the Bay of Islands, and H T Kemp in Kaipara.183 However, there is little to suggest that
they offered Maori much protection or contributed to more in-depth inquiries.184
Webster did at least attend some Native Land Court hearings, but aside from a minor
part in a case discussed below, what role he played is not clear.185
During research for this report no examples of district officers carrying out pre-hearing
investigations were found. The only mention seen of the issue revolved around a failure
to carry out pre-hearing investigations. In January 1875, Native Minister Donald
McLean criticised Webster for not providing the Crown and the Court with sufficient
information or context before surveys of the Otangaroa and Kaingapipiwai (Te Patoa)
blocks were approved. These surveys, sparked by Crown land purchase negotiations
183 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 682 184 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 682-683; Geiringer, Wai 45 F10, p 88 185 Alexandra Horsley, ‘A History of the Otangaroa, Te Pupuke, and Waihapa Blocks (Whangaroa) 1874-1990’, Waitangi Tribunal, 2016, Wai 1040, A57, p 60 shows Webster attended the Otangaroa hearing in 1875. Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 88, states that Webster often attended hearings in the Muriwhenua inquiry district.
88
and the subsequent need for a title hearing, resulted in fierce complaints from chiefs
who had not approved them.186
The requirement that Native Land Court judges carry out preliminary investigations
also failed to make much of an impression. Apart from some sporadic and reluctant
preliminary investigations by Maning, there is no evidence that this requirement was
regularly met in Te Raki. Armstrong and Subasic suggest that the few judges operating
in the area were fully occupied with the Court's busy hearing schedule and it would
have been almost impossible for them to thoroughly investigate matters beforehand.
Maning, at least, disapproved of the requirement and successfully asked that judges be
relieved of some of their responsibilities.187
Most importantly, the Court's official
records and decision-making process do not suggest that judges were especially vigilant
in carrying out preliminary 'extra' investigations.
A striking feature of the Court's operations during this period was the awarding of
blocks to a small number of Maori. Despite the requirements of the Native Land Court to
name everyone who had rights to the land, most blocks were awarded to just a handful
of individuals. Many blocks, including large areas that were then immediately sold to
the Crown, were awarded to a single individual. Current information suggests that in
about 78 percent of cases during this period, the Court awarded title to 10 people or
fewer. The average amount of awardees for blocks in Te Raki during this period was 7.9.
Even this low number somewhat misrepresents the general situation as it factors in the
handful of blocks awarded to a large number of owners such as Omapere in the Bay of
Island sub-region awarded to over 200 owners.188
Tellingly, blocks awarded to large
numbers of owners were often not sold to the Crown during this period.
186 Horsley, A57, p 53. Derby, A61, pp 91-92 does not suggest that Webster carried out prehearing investigations in the case of Puhipuhi but, rather, on Judge Maning's instructions, tried to arrange an out-of-court agreement between rival claimants. 187 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 683, 686-689 188 Berghan, A39(e), p 76

As the examples below suggest, the awarding of title to a small number of owners was a
reflection of how the Crown's purchasing programme influenced and overshadowed the
Court's investigative responsibilities. Crown purchasing agents – and Maori land-sellers
– generally preferred to establish large blocks with few owners. The crucial decisions on
who would be named on the title were often taken before or outside the Court hearings.

titling decisions.189
Those who had received the advances, and were designated to sell
the land to the Crown, were usually awarded title.
In the following case studies, there is little indication that the Court set out to ascertain
and list all the individuals with rights to the land in question. Indeed, it strains
credibility to think that Native Land Court judges genuinely believed that the few
individuals named on memorials of ownership represented the sum total of Maori with
valid connections to the land in question.190
Instead, it would seem likely that, in many
cases, that the Court accepted or assumed that the few individuals put forward were
representatives of wider groups of owners.
Without doubt, there was a degree of Maori communal and chiefly agency behind the
out-of-court arrangements that established who would be named on many memorials of
ownership. Chiefs and their communities were seeking to make the best of their
circumscribed opportunities and gain a degree of control over the Native Land Court
process and their lands. But the naming of a few individuals as absolute owners of large
blocks, especially as they were often under pressure from, and in negotiations with,
Crown purchase agents, carried with it considerable dangers.
The Court, it would seem, did not investigate whether these 'representatives' had the
support of all those with rights to the land. Judge Maning suspected that many northern
Maori with land rights did not want title to be awarded to their purported
'representatives'. According to Maning, this 'silent majority' were too intimidated to
openly oppose the chiefs and 'representatives' but hoped, usually unsuccessfully, that
the Court would protect their interests:
they are ashamed, unwilling, or afraid to oppose the wishes of the chiefs in court and hope that the law will take their case in hand and recognise their rights ...191
Granting large blocks to a few individuals was especially problematic in cases where
more than one tribal group or community claimed rights to the land. Often in Te Raki
189 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 702-704 190 See Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 89-91 for a discussion on Judge Monro and this issue. 191 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 713
92
during this period, only the main applicants and a few of their supporters played an
active role in title determinations concerning large blocks that were then immediately
sold to the Crown. It would seem that, in many of these cases, other groups and leaders
were not at the Court. It is not clear whether they were unaware of the hearings, unable
to attend, or refused to take part. Regardless of the reason, their absence or silence –
and the Court's failure to investigate and acknowledge all those who had customary
interests in the land – usually meant they were not awarded legal rights and others
quickly sold the land without their clear approval.
Perhaps the central problem with the Court's naming of a few individuals on memorials
of ownership, even if they were prominent chiefs, was that these owners were not legal
representatives or trustees. Instead, they were absolute owners entitled, and often
planning, to sell the land. The Crown purchased vast areas of Te Raki Maori land during
this period without clearly securing or even seeking the consent of most Te Raki Maori,
either individually or collectively.
During this period, the number of people who legally received title to Te Raki land bore
no resemblance to the number of Te Raki Maori who claimed customary rights and
were connected to and reliant on the land. As will be seen, with no corporate title and
with Crown purchasing agents active in the area, there was a high risk that many Maori
would be dispossessed and that quick, non-transparent land transactions without wide
community involvement would take place.

2.6.1. Pakanae The Pakanae block near Hokianga Harbour is a telling example of how the Native Land
Court titling system, in combination with Crown purchasing tactics, led to the alienation
of vast areas of Te Raki Maori land. As Coralie Clarkson's report details, the application
for title determination for this block of 13,642 acres came before Judge Monro in June
1875.192
(Some of the many other title determinations during this particular hearing
that resulted in Crown purchases will be examined below.) After hearings of less than a
day, Monro granted the two main portions of the block, Pakanae No. 1 (9,064 acres) and
Pakanae No. 3 (3,150 acres), to only a few owners, despite evidence pointing to many
other interest-holders in the land. Some of those awarded title had already accepted
money to sell the land to the Crown. The sales were completed just days after the
hearings. The fact that final payment and deed signing for these blocks took place within
the courtroom was symbolically apt, given the close connection between the Court
process and the Crown's purchase of Pakanae.
As was common in Te Raki during this period, the Pakanae title determinations were
prompted by Crown purchasing efforts. In 1874, Brissenden and his subcontracted
agent, Charles Nelson, secured the Crown's hold on the land by making three separate
advance payments; two of them to a group led by Hapakuku Moetara. Although
Hapakuku officially received both advance and final payments, and was named on the
title alone, he was apparently acting on behalf of his father, Rangatira Moetara.193 These
payments were accompanied by promises of considerably more money, with Nelson
initially suggesting that the final price would be ten shillings or more per acre. In
actuality, Hapakuku Moetara and the other sellers received a considerably lower price
amounting to one shilling three pence per acre.194
Some of the Maori who accepted these pre-payments may have been lured into debt by
Nelson, who provided them with goods before pressing them to pay the resulting debt
through selling land. Nelson later explained that, during the Pakanae negotiations:
192 Clarkson, A58, pp 50-51 193 Clarkson, A58, p 56 194 Clarkson, A58, p 55
95
my functions, being the more facile portion of the work, might have been performed by any country shopkeeper of mediocre business tact, provided that he could speak a little Maori and had the ‘sugar’ wherewith to stimulate the palates of our dusky indigenes ...195
Hone Mohi Tawhai, a chief and Native Land Court assessor, was involved in this and
other title hearings and transactions in the areas. He led a group that were paid £50 by
Crown agents as part of the pre-title negotiations over Pakanae. It is not clear what
exactly he was paid for but during the Pakanae hearings, Tawhai argued that Hapakuku
was entitled to sole ownership over Pakanae No. 1 and declined to make any claims to
the land himself.196
Following the negotiations and advance payments, Hapakuku, Rangatira Moetara, and
Wiremu Rangatira, applied on 28 December 1874 for a title investigation into the
Pakanae block. Before the hearing began, it was decided, presumably with Crown
involvement, to have the Court divide the block into 5 (later 6) sections with the two
main portions, Pakanae 1 and Pakanae 3 encompassing almost 90 percent of the total
land and destined to be sold to the Crown. Although Rangatira Moetara was apparently
the lead figure in the sale and title arrangement, his son Hapakuku was the only name
installed on the memorial of ownership of Pakanae No. 1. It was he who then completed
the sale to the Crown. It may well be that the early negotiations between Crown and
Maori included an agreement on how the survey would be paid for. Surveying costs
would come to £260 15s 9d, and were apparently deducted out of the final purchase
price for Pakanae 1 and 3, accounting for a third of that sum.197
For Crown purchase agents and the would-be sellers, the Court's investigations into
Pakanae moved quickly and easily to the granting of title. Hapakuku told the Court that
his tribe Ngati Korokoro wanted him to hold title alone to Pakanae 1. Tawhai and a
number of others then rose to confirm Hapakuku had ‘the mana over the land’. Two
opponents to Hapakuku's claim were present in Court but quickly withdrew their
opposition.198

The inquiry into which other individuals and groups may hold rights to these large
areas seems to have been perfunctory, if it took place at all. There is no evidence that
the Court or the district officer carried out pre-hearing investigations. The hearing itself
lasted less than a day and little evidence was recorded in the minute book.199
Despite the lack of in-depth inquiry, the Court did hear evidence that suggested
Hapakuku Moetara was not the sole Maori who held rights to the land. This came from
Hapakuku Moetara himself who stated that his tribe, Ngati Korokoro, had occupied the
area for many generations. They had a permanent settlement there as well as pa and
burial places. It was a significant food source and Moetara stated that the 'whole of
Pakanae Valley was covered by our [Ngati Korokoro's] cultivations. We also had
cultivations among the Hills’.200
Although Hapakuku Moetara clearly was claiming rights
to the land as a representative of his people, he became the sole legal owner of the
block.
Although Hapakuku claimed that Ngati Korokoro agreed that he alone should be named
on the title, the Court's responsibility under the Native Land Act 1873 would seem to
have been to name on the memorial of ownership all of those with rights to the land.201
Even Rangatira Moetara, the lead figure in the negotiations with the Crown over the
block, and others who had received advance payments by the Crown for the land, were
not included in the title. The Court had cleared the way for Hapakuku to immediately
sell the land. Sale of the block was automatically prohibited under section 48 of the
Native Land Act 1873 but the Act contained a proviso allowing the land to be sold if all
owners agreed. Hapakuku was the only owner. A week after the hearing, he and the
Crown purchase agents returned to the courtroom to complete the payments and sign
the deed. Nelson, the Crown’s purchase agent, was the interpreter who provided the
obligatory explanation of the nature of the transaction.202
On 10 June 1875, Pakanae 3 (3,150 acres) came before the Court. Again, the Court
approved, with little investigation, title and sale arrangements that had been reached 199 Clarkson, A58, pp 39-44; Berghan, A39(f), p 40 200 Clarkson, A58, pp 18, 40 201 Clarkson, A58, p 40 202 Clarkson, A58, pp 41, 55-56
97
out of court. Te Waharoa told the Court that it had been arranged for him and Rawiri Te
Tahua to be named as owners of the block. When Remi Te Tai protested about this, the
Court adjourned to allow matters to be settled informally. These negotiations probably
involved Crown purchase agents Brissenden and Nelson, who were at the courtroom
and were poised to complete the purchase of this block. Two days later, the Court heard
that matters had been satisfactorily arranged. Te Waharoa presented a list of 10 people
to be named on the title. Remi did not object and the Court issued the memorial of
ownership without further inquiry. On 18 June, the 10 named owners returned to the
Court to sell Pakanae No. 3 to the Crown. Nelson once again explained the deed in Te
Reo Maori.203

2.6.2. Titling and Acquiring Land in Mangakahia During this period, Crown purchasing agents – and therefore the Native Land Court –
were especially active in Mangakahia in the Whangarei sub-region. A number of reports
discuss the historical background to these purchases, with all emphasising the area's
complex and volatile disputes between competing groups and chiefs over land rights.
Since the 1850s, the Crown, and its land purchasing efforts, had been a key factor in
these disputes. So were claims by Europeans to land in the area arising from pre-1840
transactions, including by Reverend Charles Baker.
The Crown's efforts to buy land in Mangakahia – and sidestep the problems caused by
multiple, contesting claimants to the land – were aided by the Native Land Court system.
The Crown conducted pre-title land purchasing negotiations with a few individual
Maori. The land was brought before the Court with title awarded to those individuals.
The purchases were then speedily completed. We will look now at two important,
neighbouring parts of Mangakahia where the Court issued ownership to a handful of
individual Maori, despite the fact that many others traditionally (and had recently)
claimed rights to the land. Moreover, the Court was informed – and could not but be
aware – that if the land was indeed granted to the handful of applicants, it would be
quickly purchased by the Crown.
Perhaps the clearest example of the nexus between Crown purchasing and Court
decisions involved five blocks in Mangakahia. Collectively these blocks constituted
nearly 80,000 acres and they were granted to a single individual – Kamariera Te
Wharepapa – who then sold the land to the Crown in February 1876. This was the
Crown's largest group of purchases from a single vendor in Te Raki and a major factor
in the success of its purchasing programme.204
Despite their importance in the history
of Te Raki, the Court’s title investigation hearings and the Crown's purchases are poorly
documented. But the limited evidence does raise the possibility that, in at least one of
these blocks, the Court tailored its title determination decision to facilitate the purchase
of the land by the Crown.
204 Rigby, A56, p 4
100
In early 1873, John White attempted to acquire Mangakahia land on behalf of the
Auckland Provincial Government. He focused initially on land that the Crown, and the
Reverend Charles Baker, had long and unsuccessfully sought title over.205 This area,
which apparently overlapped with what would become the Oue block was disputed by a
bewildering number of chiefs and tribes. The most prominent rivalry, which led to war
in 1862, was between the supporters of Matiu Te Aranui – including elements of Bay of
Islands and Hokianga Nga Puhi – against the chiefs Te Tirarau Kukupa, Parore Te Awha,
and their allies.206 In 1873, White paid 'Matiu' (perhaps Matiu Te Aranui) a deposit for
the land. White then travelled with two Mangakahia Maori to Helensville to apply for a
Court hearing and arrange a survey. White's efforts to have Matiu installed on the title
and sell the land collapsed, apparently due to resistance from other right holders.
Crown purchase agent Thomas McDonnell condemned White for 'conferring with two
only, out of many influential chiefs, who are very much irritated in consequence’.207
Despite this criticism, the Crown abandoned neither its efforts nor it methods of
acquiring the land. The Crown continued to pay advances and attempt to arrange for the
title to be allocated to a small number of willing sellers. What changed was the
personnel involved, and the extent of the land the Crown was seeking to acquire. White
was replaced with more effective employees from the Native Land Purchase
Department. On 27 June 1874, Brissenden made an advance payment of £125 to Paora
Riwi and others.208
It is not clear what precise area was discussed, but this payment
would eventually form the basis of the Crown's purchase of the Oue block including land
claimed by Reverend Baker. The question confronting the Crown was how it could turn
this legally void payment over a highly disputed and complex area into a binding
acquisition. An answer to this dilemma, and more importantly still, a way for the Crown
to acquire far larger parts of Mangakahia, soon revealed itself.
The Native Land Court granted much of the land surrounding Oue to a single person –
and a willing seller – Kamariera Te Wharepapa. In May 1875, the Native Land Court
205 Daamen et al, H2, p 238 206 Thomas, Wai 674 H1, pp 170-203; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 266-280 207 Daamen et al, H2, p 238 208 Berghan, A39(e), p 270 for payment; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 4 that Brissenden made the initial payment.
101
awarded the title to the Pekepekarau (5,220 acres) and Waerekahakaha (2,520 acres)
blocks to Te Wharepapa. Around this time, he was also awarded sole ownership of two
neighbouring blocks, Opouteke (42,000 acres) and Kairara (25,700 acres).209 It is not
clear how the Court came to the conclusion that Te Wharepapa was the only Maori with
interests in 78,440 acres of Mangakahia land. The little available evidence suggests
these hearings were brief with no opponents to Te Wharepapa's claims present and
little focus on customary rights. Instead, the minutes to the Waerekahakaha title
determination succinctly note that all parties in the courtroom agreed that Te
Wharepapa would be the only name on the memorial of ownership.210
These awards made Te Wharepapa a potentially vital ally to the Crown's purchasing
programme. He was able – and willing – to singlehandedly sell these four large blocks to
the Crown. He may, even before the hearings, have agreed to do so and received
advance payments, although direct evidence regarding this has not been located.
Moreover, Crown purchase agent J W Preece wanted Te Wharepapa to also secure title
over and sell Oue. It appears that Preece and Te Wharepapa approached Paora Riwi and
others who had accepted pre-payments of £125 in 1874. From the limited evidence
available it appears that they made an arrangement that Te Wharepapa would be the
'front man' or proxy for the Oue hearing and transaction. He would be named on the
title and formally sell it to the Crown but would receive no money for this block. Paora
Riwi and others had already in 1874 received the entire payment for the block of £125.
The Crown would make no further payment but did set aside a reserve of 100 acres. It is
not clear whom this reserve was allocated to.211
The Court acquiesced in this arrangement. On 1 February 1876, evidently at or near a
Court hearing, Preece, on behalf of the Crown, purchased the Kairara, Opouteke,
Pekepekerau and Waerekahakaha blocks from Te Wharepapa for a total of £6,607. The
next day, Preece and Te Wharepapa appeared in front of the Court to arrange the title of
209 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, pp 1, 4, 8 for size of blocks. For date of hearings, see Berghan, A39(f), p 191; doc A39(h), p40 210 Berghan, A39(h), p 40. Note that Berghan provides no information on some of these blocks and their title hearings. 211 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 4, Appendix B; Berghan, A39(e), pp 268-270
102
Oue. Preece explained to the Court that this block had been subject to negotiations by
Reverend Baker before 1840 but that the Crown now sought to acquire it and had
recently made payments to extinguish ongoing Maori claims to the area. Preece
produced invoices for the Crown's payments. He then explained that the agreement
between the Crown and these claimants revolved around the Court appointing Te
Wharepapa as the sole owner so he could then transfer the land to the Crown. Te
Wharepapa then confirmed Preece's account.212 There is nothing to suggest that Te
Wharepapa claimed to the Court that he held sole rights over Oue. On the contrary, it
had long been clear to Crown officials that many different groups claimed rights in the
area. Nor did the Court inquire into the long and complex history of this land. Rather, it
agreed with the request of the soon-to-be buyer and seller, and named only Te
Wharepapa on the memorial of ownership. He sold the block (3,968 acres) almost
immediately to the Crown. The 100-acre reserve remained in Maori ownership until
1911.213
These Mangakahia blocks were a striking example of how the Court's processes were
used to facilitate large-scale land sales. The Court's willingness to award land to a single
owner or a few individual Maori, despite knowing others claimed rights to the land, was
shown clearly in the Oue hearing. Indeed, it could be argued that the Court on this
occasion ignored its responsibilities under the 1873 Native Land Act to grant title to all
those with rights in the land. Instead, it acted as a knowing and willing partner in the
Crown's purchasing arrangements.

Figure 10: Purua, Tangihua and other blocks in the Whangarei and Mangakahia sub-regions
2.6.3. Purua, Tangihua, Wairua, and other Blocks in Whangarei Interaction between the Crown's purchasing agents and the Court played a key role in
the purchase of a number of other blocks in the Whangarei district. A succession of
Crown land-purchasing agents used broadly similar tactics to the nearby Mangakahia
purchases with advance payments to a handful of individual chiefs and controlled Court
hearings to secure large areas of land. This led in June 1875 to the purchase of the Purua
(15,410 acres) and Tangihua (15,600) blocks from Te Tirarau Kukupa and the adjoining
Wairua block (27,800 acres) from Maihi Paraone Kawiti, the Ngati Hine chief.214
214 The Purua block was granted to and purchased from Te Tirarau and Maraea Te Waiata. Tangihua was from Te Tirarau alone and Wairua from Kawiti alone.
104
While the Crown acquired around 80,000 acres from Te Wharepapa alone, attempts to
secure Tangihua, Purua, and nearby lands revolved around Te Tirarau and his relatives
and allies, including his nephew Taurau and the Nga Puhi and Te Roroa leader Parore
Te Awha. The Tangihua and Purua blocks are to the northeast and southeast of the Oue
block discussed above.
Although Brissenden led the Crown's initial efforts to acquire what became the
Tangihua and Purua blocks, Crown purchase agent H T Kemp was also involved from
December 1873. After meeting with Tirarau, Taurau, and the surveyor D Wilson in
1874, Kemp reported that he had effectively completed the purchase of the Purua and
Tangihua blocks. Around this time, Crown agents secured an agreement to buy the
neighbouring Wairua block from Kawiti.215
On 5 November 1874, Kemp, on behalf of the Maori applicants, wrote to Chief Judge
Fenton applying for a hearing into these three adjoining blocks. He explained that the
Crown had concluded arrangements to buy their estimated 59,310 acres and now 'only
waited for the Court's decision regarding the title to the blocks to complete the
payments’.216
Little information is available about the Purua and Wairua title determinations but it is
known that the hearing for Tangihua took place on 23 February 1875 in front of Judge
Symonds at Whangarei. Many Maori were at this hearing, including some of the most
influential chiefs in the district. However, some major claimants to the land were not
personally present. Although, Tirarau's claim to rights over the block was opposed by a
number of cross-claimants, the Court awarded title to him and Maraea Te Waiata.
The purchase of Tangihua was delayed – and thrust into doubt – when Kaipara chief
Arama Karaka Haututu, Paraima, and others applied for a title rehearing.217
215 Berghan, A39(g), p 190 which shows that the application for the Wairua hearing was made by Kemp at the same time as Tangihua and Purua. Derby, A61, pp 30, 98 shows that this involved Kawiti.
It was up to
the Native Minister to recommend to the Governor in Council whether the rehearings
216 Berghan, A39(g), p 190. This is Berghan's paraphrase of Kemp's letter to Fenton. 217 Berghan, A39(g) pp 190-191
105
should be granted.218 However, Crown purchasing agents were even involved in this
crucial part of the tenurial/judicial process. Kemp, anxious to complete the purchase,
warned Native Minister McLean that a rehearing would damage the standing of the
court, especially as Tirarau had been present at the initial hearing while Arama Karaka
and Paraima had only sent representatives. But Kemp also made it clear that a rehearing
would damage the Crown's purchasing plans. He explained that Tirarau was the
principal would-be seller of the block and argued that many Maori at the hearing had
supported the Court's decision. He believed only a rehearing stood in the way of
completing the transaction, especially given that Tirarau had arranged to give Arama
Karaka and his group some of the proceeds. The Native Minister declined to recommend
a rehearing. 219
The way was now clear for Crown purchase. On 22 and 23 June 1875, the Crown
acquired Tangihua from Tirarau and Maraea, and Purua from Tirarau alone.220 A short
time earlier, Kawiti had been granted title to and sold the nearby Wairua block to the
Crown.221
The success of these tactics led to further Court hearings and Crown purchasing
involving the same chiefs. Kawiti needed funds for his Supreme Court battle with a
Pakeha entrepreneur over gum-digging at Aukumeroa. In 1876, Crown purchase agent
Preece loaned him £200, which Kawiti would repay by selling the 3,045-acre Te
Aukumeroa block to the Crown. Judge Monro duly granted Kawiti sole ownership of the
block on 14 September 1876. Kawiti received over £380 for the sale and repaid his debt
to the Crown.222
In 1874, Brissenden made a series of advance payments for the Kioreroa block in the
Whangarei district including to Taurau, the nephew of Tirarau. It was then arranged
that Tirarau and 'Wharepapa' (presumably Kamariera Te Wharepapa) would sell the
218 The Maori Land Legislation Manual, CFRT, updated 1995, section 58, Native Land Act 1873, p 76 219 Berghan, A39(g) pp 190-191 220 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, pp 5-6 221 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 8; Derby, A61, pp 30, 98 222 Derby, A61, pp 115-116; Berghan, A39(c), p 38; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 1
106
land to the Crown. On 20 September 1876, Judge Symonds at Whangarei granted the
3,891-acre block to these two. The next day, they sold it to the Crown.223
During this period, the key decisions about title rights often seemed to be made by
purchasers and sellers, both before and during the Court’s title investigation hearings,
with the Court merely formalising their agreements. In 1874 Brissenden made a series
of advance payments to buy land near Motatau from a small group of Maori who had
recently moved there with the permission of Maihi Paraone Kawiti. It would seem
possible that this group had also been discussing a sale with a Waitangi storekeeper,
perhaps to repay debts. On 19 April 1875, Kahi Te Hura told the Court that he had no
ancestral claims to the Tokawhero block but he and others had acquired it from Kawiti
in exchange for some horses. It would seem that the Court did not inquire in depth
about the somewhat unusual basis of their claim. Instead, it adjourned to allow out-of-
court discussions which seem to have included Brissenden and the storekeeper. It was
decided to split the block into two, with one part to be sold to the Crown and the other
to the storekeeper. The Court agreed to their requests to grant Tokawhero No. 1 (2,083
acres) to five claimants. It was then sold to the Crown. Tokawhero No. 2 (694 acres) was
awarded to four individuals and the next day purchased by the storekeeper.224
On 20 November 1877, Judge Monro at Whangarei again gave effect to an out-of-court
arrangement that led to a few individuals selling the land. He was informed by Eru
Nehua that the Te Taheke block at Ngunguru was the subject of great dispute. However,
Nehua stated that an arrangement had been reached that just two individuals, namely,
Horomona Kaikou of Ngatitu and Hohepa Mahanga of Waiariki, who were apparently
representatives of the disputing tribes, should be placed on the memorial of ownership.
Presumably, Crown purchase agents had been involved in this arrangement. Monro duly
awarded title to the two individuals, who sold the 3,810 acre block to the Crown the
following day.225
223 Berghan, A39(c), p 374 224 Berghan, A39(g), pp 363-364 225 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 7; Berghan, A39(g), p 128 which provides a different date for the purchase.
107
2.6.4. Herd’s Point, Hokianga, June 1875 The hearing at Herd’s Point in Hokianga between 31 May and 24 June 1875 illustrate
the importance of this interplay between Crown purchasing agents, a small number of
Maori applicants (and land-sellers), and the Native Land Court.226
Attended by
Brissenden and presided over by Judge Monro, the hearings saw a series of blocks
awarded to a few individuals. Brissenden (with his assistant Nelson) had already made
advance payments or entered into pre-hearing negotiations on a number of these
blocks. During the course of the hearings, the Crown agents arranged to buy a number
of other areas. In the days following the title awards, Brissenden, Nelson, and the
awardees repeatedly returned to the Court to complete the transactions with Judge
Monro serving as witness. Within a few days, the Crown had purchased 19 blocks
containing 65,514 acres.
The titling and purchase of Pakanae No. 1 and Pakanae No. 3 that took place during
these hearings has already been discussed. Omahuta No. 1 (1,722 acres) and No. 2
(6,048 acres) were also titled and purchased at this time. According to Judge Maning,
the Omahuta block had long been contested by two tribal groups, including one led by
Hone Mohi Tawhai. In 1874, Brissenden made a series of advance payments, including
to Tawhai, which worsened the dispute. Given the volatile situation, Maning was
reluctant to allow the block to be heard by the Court. Neither Judge Monro nor Crown
purchase agent Brissenden showed the same caution.227
It would appear that Tawhai's opponents did not attend the hearing on 12 June 1875.
Tawhai presented much of the evidence, which revolved around tribal rather than
individual rights to the land. Although Tawhai and others stated that four related hapu
held rights to the Omahuta block, Monro accepted Tawhai's suggestion that only four
individuals, including himself, should be named on the memorial of ownership. The
block was split into two, with Brissenden completing the purchases days later.228
226 For another example, see Harris, E32, pp 207-219 on the Unuhia (4,395 acres), Omataroa (3,220 acres) and Ohakiri (43 acres) blocks in the Whangaroa sub-region. The Crown made advance payments on these three blocks. They were then awarded in 1875 and 1876 to a single or a few owners, including recipients of the advance payments, before being quickly sold to the Crown.
227 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 691-692 228 Berghan, A39(e), pp 61-63; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 3
108
The Otangaroa blocks in Panguru, Hokianga (not to be confused with the blocks of the
same name in Whangaroa) were also titled and purchased during this hearing.
Brissenden had made advance payments in 1874 on these lands, including to Remi Te
Tai (also known as Remi Tetai Papahia). On 17 June 1875, Remi told the Court that it
had been arranged that Otangaroa should be split into four sections. After some brief
evidence, the Court adjourned to allow further informal discussions. Presumably,
Brissenden played a full part in these discussions. After a short break, Remi Te Tai
returned with a list of owners. He told Court that Otangaroa No. 1 (1,257 acres) should
be awarded to three people, Otangaroa No. 2 (3,284 acres) to eight, and Otangaroa No. 3
(4,876 acres) to Wiremu Te Tai and seven others. Wiremu Puriri, with corroboration
from several witnesses, informed the Court that four different hapu held rights to
Otangaroa No. 4 (3,296 acres) but that it was agreed he should be granted the land
alone.229
Monro did not make any further investigation or show any obvious concern about
granting to a few individuals land that he had been told belonged to many others.
Rather, he issued the memorials of ownership as the applicants wished. The following
day, Brissenden and the awardees were back in the Court to complete the purchase of
all four parts of Otangaroa.230
Brief out-of-court discussions, not in-depth in-court investigations, were also the key to
the titling and sale of Punakitere (7,557 acres). During these hearings, Judge Monro
awarded this block to a single individual even though he was informed that tribes and
other individuals claimed rights to the land. The Crown had made advance payments on
this block, which Pehikura claimed on account of 'Ngatimoerewa'. He told the Court it
should be awarded to he and 11 others, while Hori Karaka Tawiti argued that
'Ngatipakau', 'Ngatihua', and 'Mahurehure' also held rights to the land. Tawiti then
successfully requested a half-hour adjournment, after which he told the Court that it had
been arranged that he would be the sole name on the memorial of ownership. Judge
Monro, after hearing some assent about this arrangement, duly awarded the land to
229 Acreages based on Rigby, A56, Appendix A, pp 3-4. Berghan, A39(e), pp 195-197 gives different figures. 230 Berghan, A39(e), p 197; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, pp 3-4
109
Tawiti. Tawiti was back in the Court 10 days later to receive payment and complete the
sale to the Crown.231
Manganuiowae, another long-disputed piece of Hokianga land, was also quickly titled
during this Court hearing with Crown purchase immediately following. According to
Judge Maning, the land belonged 'to every native north of Auckland almost' and had
been contested, sometimes violently, for many years.232 Maning was alarmed by Crown
purchase negotiations and efforts to facilitate a Court hearing over the land in 1874.
Instead, title determination took place at Herd's Point in front of Judge Monro on 23
June 1875. The hearing was a complex case involving different hapu claiming rights to
the land. Monro ruled that four hapu held rights over the land and adjourned to allow
discussions about who should be included on the memorial of ownership. It would seem
that this is when Brissenden became involved. Although the claimants had initially
decided to partition the land into four areas, apparently to utilise it themselves,
Brissenden convinced them to sell the entire block to the Crown. After the adjournment,
the claimants told the Court that they had decided to sell the land, and for ease of sale,
one representative from each group should be named on the title. Those listed would
receive the money and divide it among their wider groups. Monro agreed to issue title
to the four nominees who, the next day, duly sold the block to the Crown.233
Brissenden had in 1874 made two advance payments regarding what would become the
Kauaeoruruwahine block (9,287 acres) of Hokianga. However, it would seem that a
different group appeared at Herd's Point to claim the land in front of Monro on 2 June
1875. After a disputed case, Monro ruled that the block should be divided into three
sections to be owned by three different groups of individuals. Brissenden immediately
secured agreement to buy all three blocks. To speed the purchase, he did not pay all the
awardees, but just one representative of each group.234
231 Berghan, A39(f), pp 361-362; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 5. Around this time, other blocks in the Punakitere area were awarded to sole or a few owners and immediately sold to the Crown. For example, Brissenden made advance payments for Te Arawhatototara (2,019 acres) in 1874 to a group led by Pehikura. The Court hearing at Ohaeawai initially saw tribal dispute over the land but Judge Monro agreed to out-of-Court arrangements and on 7 April 1875 awarded it to Pehikura and one other. They sold the block to the Crown the following day. See Berghan, A39(c), pp 27-35.

110
During the course of this hearing at Herd's Point, the Crown acquired 64,514 acres. Not
surprisingly, Brissenden was delighted with Judge Monro’s performance. A week after
the hearings were completed, the Crown purchase agent reported to McLean about how
well things had gone at Herd's Point and at other recent hearings at Ohaeawai and
Mangonui. He noted that Monro had, without fail, awarded title to those who had
received advances or whom the Crown wished to have placed on the title.235 In 'every
instance', Monro had shown Brissenden 'the greatest consideration' and 'carefully and
patiently investigated the numerous difficult and tedious cases brought before him.
None failed to pass except for those for which the survey and maps were not
completed'.236

2.6.5. Judge Maning's Protests Brissenden was not the only Crown purchase agent delighted with his interaction with
the Native Land Court. Preece was similarly enthusiastic. He completed many of
Brissenden's transactions in Hokianga and elsewhere after Brissenden was fired for
misconduct. He reported in August 1875 that he had never 'experienced less difficulty'
in completing land purchases. He had acquired lands scattered throughout 50 blocks
and in all these cases the Court had only once declined to award title to an applicant
who had received advances.239
The Court's facilitation of land alienation leads Armstrong and Subasic to raise the
possibility that some judges colluded with Crown purchase officers. They quote Judge
Maning's opinion that Monro was 'led by the nose ' by purchase agents and had:
wittingly and deliberately ignored the rights of nine-tenths of the owners of almost every case he had to do with and left men at the mercy of a few Rangatira sharks and the consequence is that as the right owners have not signed the transfers or being named in the grants the Government have not got a single valid title in the North, it is fortunate the natives do not know it, but there will be a second Hawkes Bay affair, with the difference that the natives will be right. I warned Munro [sic] when he was here of the consequences of what he was doing but he kept on.240
Maning launched a sustained but ultimately unsuccessful protest against the Court's
willingness in the north to issue title to a few individuals who had received advance
payments and planned to sell the land to the Crown. The following account is based on
the work of Armstrong and Subasic, who describe Maning as an enthusiastic supporter
and facilitator of the Crown's land purchasing programme. Nonetheless, the judge was
dismayed that the Court's authority and the requirements of the Native Land Act 1873
were being undermined by Crown purchase agents and Maori land-sellers dictating who
should be named on the title. He believed numerous rightful owners were being
dispossessed, and that this rushed and unjust title and land purchasing process would
inevitably provoke Maori resistance.241
239 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 703 240 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 704. It would seem that this Maning statement dates from late 1875. 241 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 706
112
Judge Maning was long concerned with the tactics of Crown purchase agents in Te Raki
and how this could affect the Court process. In June 1874, he reported that agents in the
area were 'giving fist fulls of money to anyone who tells them he is an owner of a piece
of land and have put the natives in a fine commotion thereby’.242 In August 1874, fearing
that the Crown's careless use of advance payments would lead to disputes and chaos in
the Court, he refused to authorise the surveys of the Omahuta and Manganuiowae
blocks in Hokianga.243
the same complaints are coming in to me every day, natives from all quarters saying lands are bought without waiting till the owners are ascertained by the Court ... I see every prospect of a great deal of difficulty.
In early 1875, he reported that he had received around 60
complaints from Maori about advance payments. Nonetheless, the payments were
continuing and Maning believed that they would soon lead to a plethora of problematic
Court hearings:
244
In January 1875, Maning informed Native Minister McLean that he would 'not make the
advance of Government money any consideration at all in any decision I may come
to’.245 Armstrong and Subasic suggest that, in response, McLean and Chief Judge Fenton
assigned a series of cases in Hokianga in which advances had been paid to the more
pliable Judge Monro.246
Maning, as we have seen, was scathing over Monro's subsequent
willingness to comply with the wishes of Maori sellers and Crown purchase agents.
At a hearing at Ahipara in October 1875, Maning clashed with Crown purchase agent
Preece over Preece's attempts to influence the titling process to facilitate land sales. The
direct cause of their dispute was the Orowhana block just to the north of the Te Raki
inquiry district. Nonetheless, this clash is relevant to this report as it involves the same
issues and people that were involved in Court hearings in Te Raki.
As has been shown, the Court was often requested and agreed to award title to a few
individuals who, it was claimed, had been selected by a wider group of right holders.
242 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 690 243 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 691-692 244 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 693 245 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 708 246 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 706
113
These 'representatives' then commonly sold the land to the Crown. But during the
Orowhana title determination, Judge Maning threw a spanner in the works. He was told
by claimants, who had received advance payments and were planning to sell the block
to the Crown, that there were 'very considerable numbers' of other owners but title
should be restricted to just 10 owners, including themselves.247 Maning refused,
insisting that he was obliged under the Native Land Act 1873 to list all the owners on
the memorial of ownership. Crown purchase agent Preece and the claimants then
argued with Maning, declaring that it was legal and common to name a small amount of
owners in such cases. Preece urged the judge to name just 10 owners for Orowhana as
this would 'facilitate the purchase of the land by the Government, as some of the other
parties if named might decline to sell their shares, or require an exorbitant payment for
them’.248
Maning, with the backing of district officer Webster, who was present in the Court,
reiterated that the intention of the 1873 Native Land Act was:
to put it out of the power of Native Chiefs or others to alienate the lands of the commoners of their tribes, or defraud them of the proceeds of the sales; things which have been reported to have been done very frequently of late.249
Backed by Preece, the claimants repeatedly refused the judge's demand that they put
forward lists containing all those with rights to Orowhana. Maning therefore adjourned
the hearing. He then threatened to resign, warning that '[i]nterference by [the] land
purchase department before a claim is settled will surely lead to disaster'.250 As he
explained, land purchase agents regularly pressed him to award lands to those they had
identified and paid, and in so doing, dispossess ‘hundreds of owners of land and only
recognise such persons as choose to sell it to them’.251
say I can ignore the rights of any number of owners and name only the chiefs who wish to sell and who are in this way plundering the people [but] my reading of the law is that I cannot leave out any of the owners.
In this case, Preece and those
who had received advances:

114
The Crown's purchase agents were alarmed at any prospect that the Court would
discontinue the practice of awarding title to selected land sellers. In November 1875,
Preece set out his views in a letter to Native Minister McLean. He reiterated his position
that naming a small number of owners who had been appointed in informal, voluntary
arrangements was legal under section 46 of the 1873 Native Land Act. Moreover, it was
a 'far better' and just policy for the Crown to conduct negotiations with a few
representatives who could arrange the sale and distribute the money.253
It would seem that Maning, rather than Preece, was right about the law. In November
1875, the issue was submitted to the Solicitor General who confirmed Maning's opinion
that section 46 did not allow the Court to recognise arrangements such as Orowhana
and award land to a few 'representative' owners.254 Nonetheless, the practice continued
and it led to numerous land sales in the area. Indeed, even Maning's specific battle over
Orowhana was lost. In 1877, it along with the Epakauri and Tauroa blocks (all in the
Muriwhenua inquiry district), came before the Court again. Maning had resigned by this
point, and the case was heard by Judge Monro. The Crown had paid advances on all
three blocks and the Court was well aware that large groups claimed and disputed
rights to these lands. But, as one of the claimants informed the Court, an 'arrangement'
had been reached among the disputants. The Court decided to recognise this
arrangement. Only four names were placed on each memorial of ownership. These
individuals then sold the three blocks to the Crown.255
Despite Maning's protests, the Court in Te Raki often made little effort to include all
right holders in the title, especially when the land was sought by the Crown. Instead, it
frequently awarded title to a few Maori who were in land negotiations with the Crown,
and ignored the many others who possibly held interests to the land. In doing so, the

Expert legal analysis of this issue might be useful. To my untrained eye, it would seem that the Solicitor-General believed that section 46 allowed the Court to formalise only voluntary arrangements between claimants and cross-claimants. It did not allow, or so a discussion on this issue by Armstrong and Subasic would seem to indicate, the Court to award title to an individual or individuals because they claimed that the wider community of owners had agreed to this. 255 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 89-90
115
Court played a vital role in facilitating the Crown's land-purchase programme in Te
Raki.
2.7. Reserves and the Court's Protective Responsibilities Between 1875 and 1880, the Native Land Court presided over and encouraged land
purchase in Te Raki. We now consider whether the Court at least provided some
protection for Te Raki Maori against excessive or fraudulent land loss. Potentially, the
Court could have played a significant role in this context. The Native Land Act 1873
reiterated and strengthened the Court's pre-existing responsibilities to ensure that
Maori retained sufficient land for their immediate and future needs. The Act's preamble
stated the importance:
of assuring to the Natives without any doubt whatever a sufficiency of their land for their support and maintenance, as also for the purpose of establishing endowments for their permanent general benefit from out of such land.256
Under section 24 of the Act, the district officer was required to set aside 'a sufficient
quantity of land in as many blocks as he shall deem necessary for the benefit of the
Natives of the district.' The reserves were to be passed through the Court and rendered
inalienable.257
The Court would then determine all the Maori who should have rights in
the reserve and name them on the memorial of ownership before declaring the land
inalienable except with the consent of the Governor in Council.
The reserves would be deemed insufficient if they did not represent a minimum of 50
acres for every man, woman, and child. It has been argued that the requirement of
reserves of 50 acres per person was fundamentally flawed in that it was based on
individual rather than communal needs.258 Moreover, Armstrong and Subasic suggest
that this amount of land would have reduced Te Raki Maori to 'subsistence farmers'
rather than equipped them to achieve development and equality.259
256 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 105 257 Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, p 105; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 772 258 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 769, 772; Waitangi Tribunal, He Maunga Rongo: Report on Central North Island Claims, stage 1, part 1, vol 2, p 631 259 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 769
116
These and other legitimate criticisms should not obscure the Act's protective potential.
If generously and rigorously implemented, the Act would have certainly provided Te
Raki Maori with more protection than they eventually received. The Act set no upper
limit for the size of reserves, with the 50 acres per person proviso a minimum only. The
requirement that the district officer should select the reserves 'with the concurrence of
interested Natives' potentially opened the way for Maori input into the crucial question
of the location and type of land to be reserved. Finally, the Act appeared to envisage
communal or customary rather than individualised reserves. Although individual
owners were to be named, the Court was instructed to set aside reserves that were to be
held by Maori 'in accordance with Native custom and usage’.260
The Native Land Act 1873 therefore appeared to suggest something more valuable than
a few areas excluded from land sales for the maintenance of the vendors. Rather, it
seemed to require the creation of inalienable, customarily held, but legally recognised
reserves for 'the benefit of the Natives of the district’. The Court was instructed to
investigate and protect the interests of Te Raki Maori, and to recognise that Te Raki
communities had a vital interest in maintaining a permanent and economically viable
estate. The Act implicitly acknowledged that excessive land sales did not just affect
those – typically a few individuals – who were named on a memorial of ownership and
sold the land; they affected Te Raki Maori as a whole.
In practice, the reserve provisions of the 1873 Act appear to have been widely ignored
in Te Raki during this period. Armstrong and Subasic comment that district officers and
Native Land Court judges were 'notorious' for paying little attention to the reserve
requirements under the legislation.261
During this research no evidence was found to
suggest that in-depth inquiries into the reserve needs of Te Raki Maori were carried out.
The issue seems to have been seldom raised during the title investigations of this
period, even when the blocks in question were large and destined to be sold to the
Crown.
260 The Maori Land Legislation Manual, CFRT, updated 1995, Native Land Act 1873, s 46, p 74; Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, p 241 261 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 772, 774
117
Setting aside significant reserves, as apparently envisioned by the Native Land Act 1873,
would have required much effort and investigation by officials both inside and outside
the Court system. With the Court generally reluctant to interfere with or impede the
Crown's land purchasing ambitions in Te Raki, no such effort was made.
This was despite the Court's awareness of the need for protective mechanisms to be put
in place. In July 1876, Judge Maning wrote to Chief Judge Fenton that the 'present
inclination of the natives in the Northern District is to divest themselves of every acre of
land for which they can obtain money'.262 Land sales were progressing rapidly and
district officers were not establishing the required reserves. Maning reported that, if
protective steps were not soon taken, many Maori would become landless. He stated
that more information was needed on the amount of land remaining in northern Maori
ownership, but he doubted it was enough for reserves of 50 acres per head.263
Despite this warning, no significant steps were taken and land purchasing continued.
Maning himself was generally hostile to measures designed to protect Maori from
landlessness and, according to Armstrong and Subasic, believed that Maori should not
possess significant amounts of land as it encouraged their indolence and profligacy.264
There is no evidence that he or other Court officials took a major role in investigating
the need for reserves.
The available evidence suggests that no customary reserves as envisaged by the 1873
legislation were established in Te Raki, while only a very limited amount of land was
excluded or reserved from Crown purchases after 1865. Rigby records 27 such areas
created in purchases finalised between 1866 and 1900, collectively totalling just 5,578
acres. These reserves were less than 1 percent of the 588,707 acres of land that the
Crown acquired in Te Raki during this period.265
The research for this inquiry provides little information on the legal status of these
reserves or whether they proved to be a significant resource, economically and 262 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 773 263 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 772-774 264 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 772-774 265 Rigby, A56, p 2
118
otherwise, for local Maori. My assumption is that these reserves were lands owned by a
few individual Maori, often including those who had been involved in the earlier sale of
the parent block.
Even these areas were not safe from the Crown's purchasers. In 1876, the Crown
acquired the Ngatahuna reserve of 882 acres in the Whangarei sub-region. It had been
created after the Crown's purchase of the 26,810-acre Otonga No. 1 block. Three
reserves were set aside during the Crown's 1875 purchase of the 2,716-acre Whataipu
block in Hokianga. The Crown acquired two of these reserves in 1877: the 417-acre Te
Karu reserve and the 171-acre Waimahutahuta reserve.266 In 1880, the Crown
purchased almost all of the Maroparea reserve (250 acres) created out of the Punakitere
purchase in the Hokianga sub-region.267
2.8. Alienation Restrictions, and Protections against Fraudulent
Transactions Alienation restrictions were also ineffective in protecting Maori land in Te Raki during
this period. Blocks titled under the Native Land Act 1873 were automatically restricted
from all alienation except for a lease of no longer than 21 years. But, as David Williams
writes, this provision was 'easily circumvented'.268 Section 49 of the same Act allowed
land to be sold if all the owners agreed. As seen above, this unanimity was easy to
achieve in Te Raki where the Court routinely issued title to a single owner or a few
individual Maori who had already received advance payments and were planning to sell
the block. Moreover, if the owners did not unanimously agree to sell, the Court could
apportion the block into subdivisions representing the interests of those 'desirous to
sell' and 'dissentients'.269
There was less cause to use this provision to sub-divide in Te
Raki.
266 Rigby, A56, Appendix A and Appendix B. Note that a two-acre wahi tapu was excluded from the purchase of the Waimahutahuta. 267 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 2 268 Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, p 168. See section 48 of this Act. 269 Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, p 168
119
The Otangaroa block on the southern part of the Whangaroa Harbour (which should not
be confused with the block of the same name in Hokianga) was an example of how
partitions were used to overcome alienation restrictions. Alexandra Horsley writes that
the Crown had made advance payments on this block that drew it into the Court system.
But the Court awarded the block to more owners (34) than common during this period.
While the Crown abandoned its purchasing efforts, timber merchant George Holdship
did not. After unsuccessful efforts to lease the whole block, he entered into an
arrangement to buy the interests of 17 of the owners. These owners went to the Court
in 1877 and had the block subdivided into two partitions of 3,439 acres each. Otangaroa
No. 1 was allocated to 17 opponents of the sale and Otangaroa No. 2 (3,439 acres) was
allocated to the 17 prospective sellers. Holdship completed the purchase of Otangaroa
No. 2 in the following year.270
The mechanisms designed to protect Maori against alienations of questionable probity
also failed to stem the tide of purchasing during this period. The Native Land Frauds
Prevention Act 1870 appointed trust commissioners to protect Maori against sales
characterised by 'frauds and abuse' and to ensure that Maori vendors had sufficient
lands for their support. They were to invalidate any transaction that was 'contrary to
equity and good conscience', contravened any trusts, or had been paid through liquor or
arms. The commissioners were to investigate every transaction involving Maori land
and to endorse or disallow every deed of sale. 271
On the face of it, the trust commissioner could have been highly active in Te Raki
investigating the many transactions that took place with little transparency or
documentation. As discussed, there were suggestions that Crown purchase agents
during the Pakanae purchase used dubious practices such as 'treating' or indebting
Maori to encourage sales.272 There were also allegations, denied by Crown purchase
agent Preece, that land in the area was paid for with orders from publicans and
storekeepers.273
270 Horsley, A57, pp 56, 60, 65-66, 88-90 271 Maori Land Legislation, CFRT, updated 1995, p 62, Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, p 213 272 Clarkson, A58, p 54 273 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 703-704
120
However, Williams has argued that that the legislation covering trust commissioners
was largely 'window-dressing' and that the commissioners, rather than acting 'in a
thoroughgoing, conscientious manner', endorsed transactions as a matter of course
after few inquiries. 274 Armstrong and Subasic argue that this was the case in Te Raki. T
M Haultain, the trust commissioner for the Auckland District (including Te Raki),
endorsed almost all transactions, except for a few that were in breach of alienation
restrictions.275
The Court was also instructed, under the 1873 Native Land Act, to inquire into the
probity of land purchases from Maori. It was to ascertain that the owners wished to sell
the land, that transactions were in good faith, that the sale transfer was signed by all
owners, and to explain the effect of sale to all the owners. There are only sporadic
references to the Court carrying out these duties and nothing to suggest that it carried
out in-depth inquiries or posed any significant challenges to the finalisation of Crown
purchases. There are occasional minute book references to the Crown 'confirming' a
transaction but no suggestion of what was entailed in this confirmation.276
Overall, the Court system seems to have done little to protect Te Raki Maori against
excessive alienation during this period. Its responsibility to provide Maori with
sufficient reserves, its ability to prohibit or restrict land purchases, and its duties to
investigate and protect Maori against inequitable transactions were seemingly
overwhelmed by the tidal wave of Crown purchasing.
The failure of the Crown’s protective responsibilities is shown most obviously by the
amount of land purchased between 1875 and 1880. These few years, more than any
other period, laid the foundations for Maori landlessness and shortage of land
throughout Te Raki. The Court facilitated rather than protected Maori against this level
of land loss.

3. Chapter Three: The Native Land Court Entrenched
and Resisted, 1881–1889 3.1. Introduction This chapter covers the rise of Maori resistance to the Native Land Court in the 1880s.
Te Raki Maori, who had long complained about specific aspects of the Court process,
were by this time opposed to the Court as a whole and wanted it abolished. This was a
reaction to the large-scale Court hearings and unprecedented levels of land loss of the
mid and late 1870s. Local communities had lost much of their traditional tribal estate
while their economic strength and future had been fundamentally compromised. The
Court was widely considered to be a major factor in these disastrous developments.
During the 1880s, resistance to the Court took many forms, including political protest
and the use of alternative, Maori-controlled committees and runanga to adjudicate on
land issues. A Rohe Potae of customary land was established around Motatau in which
Court hearings and land sales were prohibited. This resistance – and a decline in Crown
purchasing – led to a sharp decline in the amount of Maori land that was brought before
the Court for title determination.
Nonetheless, by the 1880s, the Court was an entrenched feature of Maori life in the
district and even its staunchest opponents were unable to avoid the institution
altogether. It remained the only way in which local Maori could gain legal title over their
land. Court hearings were easy for individuals to facilitate and dangerous for others to
avoid as non-participation was to risk dispossession. Protracted hearings during this
period saddled applicants and cross-claimants with large costs and debts that
contributed to further land alienations. Moreover, the Court was increasingly sub-
dividing and fragmenting the diminished amount of land that remained in Maori
ownership. In short, the Crown's tenurial system continued to have a far-reaching and
multi-faceted impact on Maori life and land in Te Raki.
3.2. The Native Land Court Slowly Entrenched By 1881, when this chapter begins, the Crown's tenurial system had largely triumphed
in Te Raki. The peak years of title determinations were over. Almost 70 percent of the
122
customary Maori land that remained in 1865 (excluding the land for which the date of
title determination is not known) had already passed through the Court and been
allocated to individual owners. Much of this land, as we have seen, had been purchased
by the Crown.
In the following years, the Court's influence in Te Raki was entrenched. Title
determinations continued throughout the rest of the nineteenth century albeit at a
diminished rate. Court titling increased somewhat during the early twentieth century
but this was a mopping up of hitherto isolated or previously resistant areas, and was not
comparable to the rapid progress of the Court during its initial 15 years in Te Raki.
A key cause of this slowdown, apart from the fact that there was comparatively little
land left outside of the Court system, was the end of the Crown's great purchasing drive
of the mid-1870s. With so much land already acquired (much of it unoccupied and
unutilised by the Crown) there was little new purchasing in Te Raki in the 1880s. This
was part of a nationwide decline in Crown purchasing, caused in part by the economic
downswing.277

There were a few Crown purchases in Te Raki during this decade but
these were mainly the completion of transactions that began in the 1870s, most notably
involving the Pakiri and Puhipuhi blocks.

The decline in Crown purchasing during the 1880s, particularly after 1883 – and the
increasing resistance of Maori to the Court – slowed down, but did not completely halt,
title determinations in Te Raki. Maori still sought title in order to sell land to either the
Crown or to private purchasers. Sometimes, the opposite motivation was at work, with
Te Raki Maori seeking legal ownership over land so that it could be protected from sale.
The scramble for title that was so powerful in the mid-1870s continued on, to some
extent at least, into the 1880s. Disputes between tribes, leaders, and individuals over
land continued to result in title determinations. Even determined opponents of the
Court – of which there were increasing numbers during this period – could not
completely escape its clutches. The Court's monopoly powers over the legal
determination of land rights, and the ease in which the titling process could be
facilitated, meant that it remained in the 1880s a vital presence in Te Raki Maori life.
The first 15 years of the Court in Te Raki had severely weakened collective, customary
title over land. Despite significant Maori resistance, the Native Land Court was in Te
Raki to stay.

Graph 27: Number of known acres titled by the Native Land Court in the 1880–1889 period, Te Raki inquiry district
Between 1881 and 1889, title was issued to an estimated 62,132 acres of Maori land in
Te Raki. Excluding land for which the date of title determination is not known, this
represents 7.5 percent of all Maori-owned land that remained in 1865. It meant that just
22.7 percent of Maori-owned land in 1865 remained under customary tenure in 1890.
The number of new title hearings also slowed but did not cease. Between 1881 and
1889, the Native Land Court created 75 new blocks with individual owners. This too
was a noticeable drop from the period between 1865 and 1874 when the Court
established 469 new blocks, and the period between 1875 and 1880, when over 200
title determinations were completed.

As with previous periods, most of the blocks created were small but much of the land
was grouped together in a few large blocks. Of the 75 new blocks created during
between 1881 and 1889, 31 blocks were less than 100 acres and 47 blocks were 500
acres or less. But only 1,068 acres of land was in blocks of 100 acres or less and just
4,455 acres was in blocks of 500 acres or less. On the other hand, the three new blocks
of over 5,000 acres that were titled during this period collectively contained 21,915
acres.

land – the most of any sub-region during this period – came under the Court system,
with 23 new blocks created. By the end of 1889, the Court system had made major
inroads in Hokianga with 75.0 percent of all the known Native Land Court blocks in this
sub-region titled.
Whangarei, the largest sub-region, had also been transformed by the Court system. By
1889, 82.3 percent of customary land had been legally titled. In the 1880s, the Court
created 27 new blocks in this sub-region, incorporating 14,759 acres of land. Although
this was a significant amount of land, it represented a huge drop in the amount of Court
activity in the Whangarei district compared with earlier periods.
Of the three large sub-regions, the Court's progress was slowest in the Bay of Islands.
From 1881 to 1889, just 9,726 acres of Bay of Islands land, grouped in 20 new blocks,
came under the Court system of title. This meant that by the beginning of 1890, 72.5
percent of known customary land in 1865 had gone before the Court. This
comparatively slow rate of titling was, at least in part, the result of Maori resistance to
the Court in the area. As shall be discussed, Maihi Paraone Kawiti had established a
Rohe Potae that banned Court activity in a sizeable area in the inland Bay of Islands and
Whangarei area.
Despite anti-Court activities in Whangaroa, title determinations continued to eat away
at the little amount of customary Maori land. From 1881 to 1889, there were just three
new title determinations in this sub-region but they covered 9,246 acres. Legal title had
now been issued to an estimated 73.0 percent of the Whangaroa customary land that
remained in 1865.
In 1886, the protracted title determination for Hauturu – Little Barrier Island – (6,960
acres) was completed. This extinguished the last substantial portion of customary title
in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-region.

3.3. The Court and Private Purchasing during the 1880s The scale of Native Land Court hearings declined considerably in Te Raki in the 1880s
as Maori resistance to the Court grew and the Crown's interest in land purchasing
diminished. Nevertheless, the Court continued to be inextricably linked to Maori land
loss. Sales, both to the Crown and to private purchasers, remained a key reason for –
and a major result of – Maori interaction with the Court.

In many ways, the Court's involvement with the land sale process was essentially
unchanged. Although far less land was going through the Court – and being sold – than
during the frantic period of the mid-1870s, the title investigation process did not
become more obviously careful or protective. For those blocks in which sale loomed and
open opposition was absent, it would seem that title determinations remained brief and
perfunctory. Even after a partial (but largely unenforced) ban on advance payments, at
least some land purchases continued to be arranged before title had been issued, with
the Court quickly awarding land to a single or few applicants who completed the sale
even when it was explicitly told that many others held rights in the land.278
In other
cases, Maori seem to have gained title and then immediately looked for, or were
approached by, purchasers.
The 1,314–acre Kahakaharoa block in the Whangarei district was an example of a block
titled and quickly sold during this period. On 3 February 1882, Haki Whangawhanga
told Judge Symonds that the land belonged to Ngati Hau and that 'a great number of
names' should be placed on the certificate. However, for unstated reasons – perhaps
because he had been approached by purchasers – Whangawhanga decided that it would
be better that he and just one other individual should be awarded the block. The Court
concurred. Shortly afterwards, it was reported that they were in negotiations to sell the
block, which was purchased by the Union Steam Saw Moving Sash and Door Company
Ltd.279
Just before this hearing Haki Whangawhanga and Eru Nehua had arranged to lease land
to the Ngunguru Coal Company. Once again, the Court was willing to award them land
despite it being clear that they were acting as representatives for Ngati Hau and that
many others had potential interest in the land. Nehua told the Court in February 1882
that Ngati Hau ran horses and pigs on the 1,190-acre Whakapae block and that Ngati
Hau and Waiariki dug gum on it. As David Armstrong puts it, it was obvious that others
held rights in the land. But upon Nehua’s request, the Court awarded the 594-acre 278 In 1883, it became a criminal offence to negotiate with Maori over land purchases until 40 days after title was ascertained. However, the law was rarely enforced for private purchasers while the Crown was exempt from this law altogether. Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, Appendix 4 279 David Armstrong, ‘Ngāti Hau gap filing research’, Wai 1040, P1, p 31. It seems that Whangawhanga requested the Court to award the title to himself and one other although the evidence is not explicit about this.
131
Whakapae No. 1 block to himself and Whangawhanga. They then formally leased it to
the coal company.280 In February 1882, Nehua appeared again in front of the Court to
state that it 'had been arranged' that he should gain sole title over the 19-acre Rotomate
block. He subsequently sold the block to a private purchaser.281
In this and other ways, the titling process for 'sale' blocks was reminiscent of equivalent
hearings in earlier periods. Often, only a few applicants appeared before the Court, with
limited or no presence from counter-claimants. As with earlier periods, it is not clear
what caused the relative lack of any debate or dispute among Maori during some title
determinations. As shown, it is clear that pre-hearing arrangements and selections of
representative owners continued to be carried out. But, it is also likely that, in some
cases, potential right holders were absent from the hearings and apparently uninvolved
in pre-hearing agreements. And, as shown in the cases discussed below, the Court
usually did not closely consider the rights of those absent from the courtroom or award
them title.
Long and complex communal disputes over rights to land and resources continued to be
a feature of Maori life in Te Raki, but this was not always obvious in the way that the
Court decided on title.282
In many cases, after considering what appears to have been a
limited amount of evidence, the Court confirmed title to the main applicants, who
shortly afterwards sold the land. There was sometimes implicit or explicit evidence that
the applicants were claiming on behalf of wider groups and, as we have mentioned, it
would seem that there continued to be plenty of out-of-court title arrangements among
applicants, their supporters, and possibly purchasers. Despite this, the Court was
generally willing, especially if no opposition was voiced during the hearings, to award
absolute title to a single or a small group of applicants.
What did change during this period, apart from the amount of land being sold, was who
was buying it. With the decline of Crown purchasing, its agents exerted a less overt
presence in the Court process. As we shall see, the Crown was involved in the title
280 Armstrong, P1, pp 31-32 281 Armstrong, P1, p 37 282 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1036
132
determination processes for Hauturu and Pakanae, which it was in the process of
purchasing, raising possible questions regarding the Court's independence. But aside
from these cases the Crown was largely uninterested in buying the land that was titled
in Te Raki during the 1880s.
More commonly, Maori went to the Court in order to facilitate sales and leases to
private purchasers. No clear evidence has been sighted on how much land titled in this
period was sold or leased to Pakeha individuals and businesses.283
Nonetheless, the
following examples suggest it was a significant reason why Maori in Te Raki used the
Court in the 1880s.
On 6 February 1882, Hepi Moanariki and 7 others were awarded title to the 610-acre
Maungarei block in the Whangarei district. The following year, they sold it to a
European for £400.284 On 7 November 1883, the Court issued title to the 266-acre
Poroti block. From 1884, the local European entrepreneur Samuel Rawnsley and his
family members began to purchase most of this block.285 In 1888, Rawnsley's dealings
in nearby Poroti lands would provoke fatal conflict between local tribes.286
In the mid and late 1880s, Europeans were drawn to the prospect of silver and gold in
the Puhipuhi region. While much of this region had already gone through the Court and
been purchased by the Crown, one significant area was still up for grabs. On 13
November 1885, Hiraina Paraka and one other were awarded the 1,195-acre
Taumatahinau block. Shortly afterwards, they sold it to a Whangarei miner.287
Another example of the ongoing, and sometimes complex, involvement of land sales in
the Court process involved the 233-acre Te Hape block in the Whangarei district. There
is only limited and unclear evidence regarding this hearing but my understanding is that
the Court's eventual award revolved around a pre-title land sale between local Maori
283 The SOPAC data calculated that 16,141 acres was purchased by private buyers in Te Raki between 1875 and 1884, with a further 2,010.2 acres alienated in this way between 1885 and 1894 (Wai 1840, #1.3.2(c)) 284 Berghan, A39(d), p 248 285 Berghan, A39 (f), pp 251-252 286 Alexander, A7, p 136 287 Berghan, A39(g), pp 277-278; Derby, A61, p 229
133
and a Pakeha purchaser. The Court was initially unaware of this transaction and was
poised to award the land to the main applicant. On 3 February 1882, Renata Manihera
and others claimed the block and provided a list of owners. Manihera did not mention
any land sale. Before Judge Symonds could award the land to those on this list, Resident
Magistrate James Clendon came forward. He gave evidence that a European had
arranged to buy the block. It is not clear whether Manihera was involved in and
supported this pre-title transaction. However, another local Maori, named Puketawa,
was certainly involved. He told the Court that he and 'the entire hapu' had agreed to the
transaction and that £100 had been received and spent on food, shelter, and the
'scraping of the bones of Tatau’.288
Puketawa was seemingly citing this informal
transaction as evidence of his, and his hapu's rights to the blocks, but he also told the
Court that he supported and wanted to formalise this sale.
This may well have been a pressing factor in the Court's award. Despite hearing that
Puketawa’s entire hapu held rights to the land, it issued title to just a few individuals.
But which individuals would be granted the land and how would this affect the deal
with the European? Manihera did not want to complete the deal, at least not over the
whole of the block. He apparently argued that the block should be divided into two, with
some going to the European and some being awarded to himself and the others on his
list. Puketawa disagreed, evidently suggesting that the whole block should be awarded
to Maori who were willing to transfer it to the European. As Puketawa requested, the
Court decided not to split the block. Instead, it awarded it to just three individuals,
including Puketawa, as well as Manihera, possibly so that they could legally complete
the sale.289
The indebtedness of Te Raki Maori was an important element in the connection
between the Court and land sales during this period. Existing debt led Te Raki Maori to
seek Court hearings so that they could obtain a legal, transferable title and sell land to
Europeans and to the Crown. But in other cases, the Court process led to debts that
288 Berghan, A39(c), pp 86-87 289 Berghan, A39(c), pp 86-87. It should be emphasised that this is my extrapolation from a brief and difficult-to-understand piece of evidence.
134
could only be paid through sales. In some cases, such as Otaniwha, both factors were in
play.
It would seem that the initial push for the Otaniwha title determination was that Eru
Pakere needed money, which could only be achieved through land sales, to pay the
debts of one of his people who had been involved in a Supreme Court case. He
consequently applied for title over the Otaniwha block (1,206 acres) in the Whangarei
district. But the Court process was in itself costly. His survey costs and court fees were
paid for by a 'European friend', quite possibly the prospective purchaser of the land.
Pakere was awarded sole title to the land on 30 January 1885. Shortly afterwards, he
and his 'European friend', who may well have been providing the money, were in
Auckland 'to pay the debts of my people'. While there, he sent a letter to the Chief Judge
of the Native Land Court warning that many blocks were under pressure from 'certain
Pakeha-Maoris who go about robbing people who have land’. A little later, in 1887, the
sale of Otaniwha was completed.290
Many Maori in Te Raki were in debt to storekeepers and this seems to have been the
cause of a number of hearing and sales. We have seen allegations that Crown purchase
agents in the 1870s routinely encouraged Maori to fall into a debt to storekeepers that
would be paid off through sale. In 1891, a Pakeha observer stated that there was a long
history in Hokianga and elsewhere in the region of Court hearings taking place in and
around stores and public houses. The credit extended to Maori at these times was often
paid for with land.291
Debt and the need for development money for other lands drew even Maihi Paraone
Kawiti, a key opponent of Court hearings and land sales in the area, into the process. On
12 February 1885, he appeared in the Court at Waimate to claim the Honohere block
(just over 127 acres) for himself and three others. After Judge Puckey awarded them
title, the block was sold to a Kawakawa storekeeper for £140.292
290 Berghan, A39(e), pp 207-208 291 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1187 292 Berghan, A39(c), p 158
135
Similarly, Wiremu Te Parahi had previously sought to avoid the Court and to use a non-
Government sanctioned Maori committee to adjudicate on his claims to land around
Mangatawai, near Kaikohe. However, the rulings of the Committee of the Treaty of
Waitangi (Te Komiti o Te Titiri o Waitangi) had no legal status and on 3 April 1882, Te
Parahi was in Court to claim the Mangatawai block (609 acres). The Court awarded the
block to Te Parahi alone, which he then sold to an Ohaeawai storekeeper for £220.293
3.3.1. Surveying Costs Survey costs remained a major part of the court process during this period and a
significant threat to Te Raki Maori land. There is no systematic evidence on the cost of
title surveys in Te Raki inquiry district as a whole. However, there is evidence that the
need to pay for surveys in order to gain title affected the hapu, iwi, and leaders of Te
Raki in a variety of ways.
For instance, a 'European friend' paid the survey and court fees incurred by Eru Pakere
while gaining title over the Otaniwha block. Pakere, it would seem, then sold the block
to his creditor. Eru Nehua personally paid £302 for the survey of the Puhipuhi block. He
too later sold many of his interests in this block, with repayment of his survey costs part
of the arrangement.294
This practice had been common in the mid 1870s when many surveys in Te Raki were
paid for as part of the Crown purchase of the block. But non-selling Maori in Te Raki had
no easy way to pay survey costs. Often, they were unable to, complicating and delaying
the titling process. For example, the 1880 hearing into the Te Pupuke block near the
Whangaroa Harbour was adjourned because the surveyor W W Clarke had not been
paid and had refused to hand the plans over to the Court. This may have been one of the
reasons why the applicants Hare Hongi Hika and Paora Ururoa tried to remove the land
from the Court system and have a non-Crown sanctioned native committee rule on the
title. 295

In April 1885, the Native Land Court ordered that the Papakauri block (1,012 acres) in
the Bay of Islands be divided into two, and each piece be awarded to more than 100
owners. However, none of the owners could guarantee payment of the necessary
surveys and so certificate of title was not issued until 1887. It would seem that the
Crown advanced the money for the survey, which then became a lien on the land. The
owners, individually and collectively, proved unable to pay. On a number of occasions,
owners approached the Crown and suggested it buy their rights to the land so as to
wipe out their personal survey debt. The Crown declined, not wanting to obtain the
shares of just a few of the owners. But the issue of the unpaid survey costs continued to
threaten Maori ownership of Papakauri. The Crown decided that purchase was the best
and only way to recover the unpaid survey debt. It began attempts to buy the shares of
all the owners, offering 2 shilling per acre less the survey liens.296
Te Raki Maori faced other court-related costs. While the costs of attending hearings, if
held nearby and brief in length, were comparatively modest, the expense of distant and
drawn-out sittings was considerable. Indeed, as the case studies below of Hauturu and
Puhipuhi suggest, battles for title could bring massive debt and lead to land sales.
3.4. The Court and Crown purchasing As the examples and statistics above show, the Crown purchasing of Maori land in Te
Raki slowed during the 1880s but did not cease. The Court played a multi-faceted role in
these purchases. Most obviously, it awarded alienable title to a small group of
individuals including, in the case of the Puhipuhi block, individuals who had accepted
advance payments from the Crown. It placed alienation restrictions on only small parts
of the land and did not, it would appear, inquire closely into whether those Maori with
connections to the land retained sufficient areas elsewhere.
This was reminiscent of the Court's role in the many Crown purchases of the mid-1870s.
What was different in the 1880s was that the Court had a far more protracted
involvement in the lands. In the mid-1870s, the Court quickly rubber-stamped title for
296 Berghan, A39(f), pp 108-113
137
many blocks, which were then immediately sold to the Crown. The Court’s direct
influence over these lands – and their sale – was significant but short-lived.
The Court's involvement in two key Crown purchases of the 1880s – the Puhipuhi block
in the Whangarei sub-region and Hauturu in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-region
– was anything but fleeting. For more than a decade, Maori were mired in the Court
system as they sought title over these lands. The Court's involvement in Puhipuhi and
Hauturu was not restricted to the time periods used for this report. Title determination
began in the mid-1870s but was not completed until the mid-1880s. Long and repeated
hearings led to considerable expenses and debt for Te Raki hapu and leaders, worsened
disputes between the claimants, and exposed them to the attention of Crown
purchasers. On occasion, Court officials seemed to encourage and assist Crown
purchase, raising questions about the independence of the Court. Moreover, the debts
and expenses incurred by Maori during this period would appear to have contributed to
most of Puhipuhi being sold almost immediately after title was finally issued, and to the
drawn-out, highly problematic acquisition by the Crown of Hauturu at the end of the
1890s.
3.4.1. Hauturu (Little Barrier Island) Ralph Johnson details the protracted Court involvement in Hauturu. The many years of
title hearings led to disputes, uncertainty and expense for Maori, which, in combination
with the nature of the title it issued, facilitated unwanted land loss. By the early 1870s,
the offshore island of Hauturu (estimated at 6,960 acres) was one of the few pieces of
land owned by Maori in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands district. The island was not a
purchasing priority for the Crown at this time. As a result, the Court was not called on to
quickly issue title so that the land could be purchased. Instead, local communities were
exposed to a confrontational, protracted, expensive, and somewhat chaotic process.
The first hurdle for local Maori seeking to have the Court confirm their title to Hauturu
was the requirement to carry out a survey prior to the Court hearing. Unless a survey
was to be paid for through sale, it could be prohibitively expensive, as well as being
unreliable. In the mid-1870s, Ngati Wai-aligned Maori, including Rahui Te Kiri and her
138
husband Tenetahi, repeatedly sought a Court hearing but were frustrated by their
inability to secure a survey.
A raft of other claimants also applied for title, and in May 1878, the first of many court
cases involving Hauturu opened in Helensville. The case was adjourned when Judge
Rogan ruled that the survey evidence presented was inadequate under the law.297 By
1880, one of the groups seeking title to Hauturu had sponsored a survey. This, as the
Court process had allowed and encouraged, was a survey carried out without the
permission or even awareness of all those claiming rights to the land, including the
Ngati Wai-aligned group of applicants led by Rahui Te Kiri.298
The second hearing into Hauturu was held at Awaroa in Kaipara in July 1880. Rahui Te
Kiri's people were largely absent from the hearing, believing that it too would have to be
abandoned due to the lack of survey. Their sole representative at the Court, Tenetahi,
was alarmed and surprised when the Court decided to go ahead with the hearing. He
requested an adjournment so that his wife and their supporters could take a full part.
When Judge Rogan refused, Tenetahi declined to give evidence and the hearing took
place without any input from Ngati Wai. After two days of hearings, Rogan awarded
ownership to a group of 18 individuals, including the chiefs Te Hemara Tauhia, Paora
Tuhaere, and Arama Karaka Haututu, who were associated with descendants of the
ancestor Maki. The memorial of ownership identified most of the owners as belonging
to various, mainly Ngati Whatua-connected, hapu.299
Ngati Wai, led by Rahui Te Kiri, then successfully applied for a rehearing on the basis
that their absence, and subsequent omission from title, was due to a lack of awareness
that a survey had been completed and that the hearing would proceed. The third
hearing into Hauturu, this time at Helensville, also failed to conclude the title process. It
opened on 7 May 1881 but was adjourned until 10 May. Four days of evidence was then
297 Johnson, E8, p 4 298 Johnson, E8, p 6. It is my presumption, after reading Johnson's account, that a survey was carried out before the July 1880 hearing. However, the evidence on this is somewhat confusing and an alternative possibility, which E8, pp 8-9 seems to infer, is that the Court decided to allow the hearing to go ahead even though the only survey available was the non-land-based plan it rejected as inadequate in May 1878. 299 Johnson, E8, p 5. One of the owners was identified as belonging to Ngati Ruru of Ngati Maru, another as belonging to Te Urikaraka of Nga Puhi.
139
heard before Chief Judge Fenton ruled that the land should be awarded to Ngati Wai-
aligned claimants. However, Native Assessor Te Wiremu Te Awaitaia disagreed, arguing
in favour of those he identified as belonging to Kawerau.300
This split necessitated a second rehearing which took place in Auckland from 4 to 8 June
1881 in front of Judges Monro and O'Brien. Johnson suggests that, by this time, the
winner-take-all court process and its preference for strict, exclusive tribal
identifications rather than multiple and overlapping affiliations was leading to
increasing polarisation between the claimants. While earlier evidence had emphasised
the links between the many different hapu that were seeking rights, claimants in this
hearing tended to identify themselves as either Ngati Wai or Kawerau, and downplay
the relationships and overlaps between the two. Certainly, the Court's decision in this
hearing revolved around a binary understanding. Judges Monro and O'Brien declared
that it was exceedingly clear that Ngati Wai should be awarded the land. Of course, this
did not mean that the tribe would receive collective title. Instead, the land was awarded
to a group of five Ngati Wai-affiliated individuals.301
Despite appearances, the struggle for title over Hauturu was far from over. The Court
had proved that its title investigation and determination was manifestly unable to solve
the disputes among the parties claiming the land. Instead, divisions and dissatisfaction
had grown. But, with no alternative binding form of title resolution available, Maori
could only continue and deepen their involvement with the Court regarding Hauturu.
Those applicants excluded from title, who were often but not exclusively identified as
belonging to Te Kawerau and/or Ngati Whatua, demanded that matters be reopened. Te
Hemara Tauhia and 32 others petitioned Parliament, claiming that the assessor in the
last hearing had been bribed. They refused to recognise the decision, warning that 'they
will hold the land, and there will be fighting.'302
Moreover, a new and ultimately crucial complication in the title dispute over Hauturu
had emerged. Encouraged by the Court, Crown officials were considering purchasing
300 Johnson, E8, pp 7-8 301 Johnson, E8, pp 8-9 302 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 868
140
Hauturu. During the Russian scare of the early 1880s, the island was considered to be
potentially useful for defence purposes.303 Responding to the advice of Chief Judge
Fenton, D A Tole, the Commissioner of Crown Lands, attended the 1880 and 1881
hearings. Tole informed the Court that Hauturu was 'an important military position',
and successfully requested that it be made inalienable except to the Crown.304
The Crown then started negotiations to acquire the island, including dealing with Ngati
Whatua leaders. This, not surprisingly, alarmed the Ngati Wai-aligned legal owners of
the block. Some responded by offering to sell their rights to the Crown.305
However, Native Minister John Bryce wanted more certainty over title before any
purchase was completed. The Crown therefore set off yet another round of the Native
Land Court process. It rejected calls for a Native Committee rather than the Native Land
Court to determine title to Hauturu. Although the Court process had been legally
exhausted after the two rehearings, the Crown passed legislation voiding the Court's
decisions, reverting Hauturu to customary land and instructing the Court to
reinvestigate the title.
The fifth round of Native Land Court hearings took place in front of Judge Edward
Williams in Auckland from 1 to 15 February 1884. The length of the Court’s hearings,
the distance claimants had to travel and lawyers' fees were all increasing. Detailed
whakapapa evidence was presented but there was also considerable discussion about
earlier and current land purchasing negotiations. To many Maori with interests in
Hauturu, sale now seemed the best way out of the quandary over title, as Paratene Te
Manu told the Court: 'I wish to let the Crown get the land and then the title will be
absolutely at rest.'306
During these hearings, Williams was in close contact with Native Minister Bryce. The
evidence suggests that they worked together to advance the Crown's interests and its
purchase of the block. With a decision pending, the Chief Judge telegraphed Bryce 303 Johnson, E8, pp 23-24 304 Johnson, E8, pp 6, 9 305 Johnson, E8, p 11 306 Johnson, E8, p14
141
asking if the Government was still interested in Hauturu. He warned the Native Minister
that private purchasers were interested and that action was needed if the Crown was to
secure control over the island:
I learn that Crown at one time wanted to acquire Island for defence purposes if desire continues perhaps matter should be seen to as persons are after it.307
Bryce replied that the Government was indeed interested in the land and instructed the
Court to rigorously protect the Crown's interests, including through alienation
restrictions that prevented Maori from dealing with anyone over the land except the
Crown. Chief Judge Williams instructed Bryce on how the Crown could achieve this. On
14 February, just before the final decision was announced, Williams adjourned the
hearing to meet urgently with the Native Minister. Johnson argues that the
'extraordinary conduct on the part of the Chief Judge appears to have compromised the
integrity of [the] Native Land Court system.'308
The end result of the 1884 hearings was that the Court stated that the land belonged to
those associated with Te Kawerau and awarded it to 18 individuals, including Te
Hemara Tauhia, Paora Tuhaere and Arama Karaka Haututu. The Crown began
negotiations to buy the land from them before the Native Minister again called for
caution. With Ngati Wai demanding another rehearing, Bryce warned that the Crown
should not try to conclude a purchase until there was certainty over the title.
When the Court refused to grant a rehearing, the Crown again intervened. Further
legislation was passed requiring the Court to make its sixth title hearings regarding
Hauturu. These hearings, in Auckland from 5 to 18 October 1886, took place under the
shadow of the Crown purchasers who had entered into various negotiations to acquire
the land and had even made a down payment on the block. The Court ruled in favour of
Ngati Wai with 14 individuals named on the memorial of ownership including Rahui Te
Kiri, Tenetahi and their son and daughter.309
307 Johnson, E8, p 14 308 Johnson, E8, p 14 309 Johnson, E8, pp 15-17
142
Led by Rahui Te Kiri and Tenetahi, these owners strengthened efforts to utilise the land.
They established livestock on the island, which grew to a flock of 1,000 sheep and 30
head of cattle, as well as pigs, turkeys, and potato and kumara cultivation.310 In an
attempt to recoup his expenses from the Native Land Court hearings, Tenetahi entered
into arrangements with European traders for the extraction of the island's kauri. It was
apparently agreed by the other owners that the proceeds from this would go to
Tenetahi alone.311
The whanau's efforts to develop the island were helped by the Crown turning its
attention away from it. With an end to the Russian scare and the colony locked in an
economic depression, there was a brief hiatus in Crown efforts to acquire Hauturu.
However, when the Crown's purchasing agents returned in the early 1890s, the
successful applicants were debt-ridden and vulnerable from the long court process.
Tenetahi had personally covered many of the expenses incurred by Ngati Wai during
the hearings. He would later estimate that his expenses came to more than £1,000:
It will be easy to understand that in travelling, attending courts, providing food and lodging for myself and people in Auckland and Helensville, I incurred great expense. My lawyers' bills alone amount to quite 500 pounds, and I reckon that a thousand pounds would not cover my total outlay one way or another ... 312
The debt of the Ngati Wai awardees to lawyers was threatening their hold on the land.
These lawyers were encouraging the Crown to buy the land so that they could be paid
and had begun negotiations. The Native Land Court's relationship with Crown
purchasing in Te Raki created a number of potential and perceived conflicts of interest.
An example is the various roles played by F D Fenton in this case. Fenton as Chief Judge
of the Court presided over the May 1881 rehearing into Hauturu where he ruled in
favour of Ngati Wai-affiliated applicants. He also, during those hearings, encouraged the
Crown to become involved in the title case.313
310 Johnson, E8, pp 32-33, 48, 56
By October 1886, he had left the bench
and was representing the Ngati Wai applicants as their lawyer during the Hauturu
hearings of 1886. This alarmed the Ngati Whatua-Te Kawerau claimants, with Paora
311 Johnson, E8, p 29 312 Johnson, E8, p 55 313 Johnson, E8, p 6
143
Tuhaere unsuccessfully calling for the Court to prevent Fenton's involvement in the
hearing. Whether Fenton was able to use his ties with the Court or not is unclear but he
credited himself with 'rescuing the island from Paul [Tuhaere] and his friends'.314 By
1892, Fenton was calling on the Crown to acquire the block and pay him £100 out of the
purchase price so that he could recoup his fees.315
It should also be noted in this context that another of Ngati Wai's legal representatives
was J A Tole. Te Kawerau applicants unsuccessfully objected to his involvement in the
May 1881 hearings due to his relationship with D A Tole, the Commissioner of Lands,
who was also present at the Court and seeking to secure Crown interest over the
land.316 J A Tole would continue to represent Ngati Wai applicants and would play a
prominent role in encouraging the Crown to purchase the land.317
The Court process contributed in other ways to the eventual alienation of Hauturu. In
June 1881, the Court declared the block inalienable except to the Crown. The
Government further protected its monopoly on acquiring the island by gazetting in July
1881 that it had entered into negotiations to buy the block, therefore making it illegal
for private individuals to lease or purchase the land. This significantly reduced Maori
options for utilising the land except by developing it themselves (with all the capital
costs and potential debt involved) or by selling it to the Crown. In October 1892, the
Crown reissued this proclamation as part of a successful attempt to disrupt Tenetahi's
partnership with a European timber merchant and therefore his ability to recoup the
money he had spent during the title hearings.318
The nature of Court title further encouraged sale. The undivided, undefined rights to
Hauturu made it difficult for most of the owners to gain economic benefit from the
island. They were not restricted from selling to the Crown and impoverished owners,
especially those not residing on the island, soon sought to sell their shares to the Crown.
In July 1888, Henare Te Moananui urged the Crown to take his share in the land in 314 Johnson, E8, p 36 315 Johnson, E8, pp 35-36 316 Johnson, E8, p 6 317 Johnson, E8, p 26 318 Johnson, E8, pp 9-10, 37. See Johnson for more in-depth discussion over the complicated legal issues surrounding this.
144
exchange for food. The sale offer of another owner, Rapata Ngatiwai, was motivated by
the need to repay £10 in Court fees incurred during another case. Hone Paama sought to
'give' his interests in Hauturu to the Government in exchange for land elsewhere. He
indicated that a number of other owners were willing to do the same.319
The Crown's interest in Hauturu was now driven by the desire to conserve its natural
resources. It was determined that no Maori presence whatsoever would be tolerated on
the island. Offers by owners to transfer part of the block to the Crown in exchange for
reserves were rejected.320
The Crown sought to take advantage of Tenetahi's Court-related debt to acquire the
entire island. In 1891, Tenetahi and two other owners signed an agreement to sell
Hauturu to the Crown, contingent on Tenetahi securing the consent of all the owners to
the sale. Under this arrangement, Tenetahi would receive the entire purchase price of
£3,000 which he would distribute to the respective owners. Tenetahi was attracted to
this arrangement because he believed that he would first be entitled to withdraw his
expenses incurred during the Court hearing before dividing the rest among the other
owners. The arrangement soon fell apart with no agreement from the owners. Tenetahi
withdrew his consent to the sale and redoubled his whanau's efforts to find a way to pay
his debts and gain financial benefit from the island without selling the land to the
Crown.321
The Court system would play a major role in the Crown's eventual acquisition of the
block. Two owners applied to the Court for apportionment of their relative interests. It
would seem that other owners, including those resident of the island, were not involved
in this. Nonetheless, the Court divided the ownership of the entire block into equal
shares. This did not give the owners their own piece of Hauturu to utilise. To achieve
this, owners would have needed to apply to the Court for a partition of the block so that
they could receive a portion of land that represented their shares. Instead, the Court's
award allowed the Crown to purchase piecemeal the shares of some of the owners
319 Johnson, E8, pp 24-25 320 Johnson, E8, p 23-24 321 Johnson, E8, pp 27-28
145
before attempting to force non-sellers off Hauturu. The Crown gradually collected
signatures and made payments for interests through 1892 and 1893. However,
Tenetahi, Rahui Te Kiri and their whanau were steadfast in both their opposition to sale
and their determination to continue to reside on the island.322
The Government rejected attempts at compromise and decided to eject the family from
the island. Johnson analyses the Little Barrier Island Purchase Act 1894 which
established the legislative grounds for the compulsory acquisition of the non-sellers’
shares in Hauturu. For our discussion, the critical point is that the Court was involved in
the forcible acquisition of Hauturu. The Crown applied for the Court to determine the
amount of shares held by the owners who refused to sell. Despite protests by the non-
sellers, the Court carried out this role. Based on these share determinations, the Crown
then allocated compensation to the non-sellers and declared that their rights to the land
had been compulsorily acquired.323
Tenetahi, Rahui and their whanau continued to resist. They refused to collect the money
allocated to them and continued to reside on the land. They were forcibly removed from
the island in 1895. The Government deducted the costs of their forcible eviction from
the value of Tenetahi's share held by the Public Trustee. Tenetahi was subsequently
imprisoned when he tried to return.324 Government promises to compensate Tenetahi
for his legal costs incurred during the Native Land Court hearings were never
honoured.325
3.4.2. Puhipuhi The Court process was also a significant factor in the alienation of the approximately
25,000-acre Puhipuhi block. Mark Derby's report details the Court's protracted,
contradictory and confused attempts to determine title for this block, located 25
kilometres north of Whangarei and 20 kilometres southeast of Kawakawa.
322 Johnson, E8, pp 34-43 323 Johnson, E8, p 48 324 Johnson, E8, p 57 325 Johnson, E8, pp 61-62
146
As discussed in chapter one, by 1871, representatives of Ngati Hau, led by Eru Nehua,
were seeking title over Puhipuhi. They intended to sell the land to the Crown except for
the southern part around Taharoa which would be owned and developed by Nehua and
his people. This plan met strong opposition from other groups, including Ngati Hine led
by Maihi Paraone Kawiti, and Ngati Wai and its associated iwi/hapu Ngati Te Ra and
Ngati Manu, represented by Hoterene Tawatawa.
The Court was unable to mediate a satisfactory agreement between these groups.
Instead, its hearings in 1873 and 1875 deepened the confrontation and confusion
surrounding the block. In 1873, Judge Maning apparently suggested that Ngati Hau
representatives including Nehua would be awarded 14,000 acres of Puhipuhi, with
6,000 acres awarded to Kawiti and Ngati Hine and the remaining 5,000 awarded to
applicants from Ngati Wai and others led by Tawatawa. But Maning then seemed to
backtrack, denying he had made this suggestion and, instead, advocating that the block
should be equally split between the three groups. A subsequent suggestion by Maning
that each group should be allocated some shares in the portion allocated to their rivals
only added to the uncertainty.326 The Court failed to make any binding title
determination.327
Actions by Crown purchasing agents further complicated title determination for
Puhipuhi. In November 1878, Charles Nelson made advance payments to Tawatawa and
Nehua.328 These payments deepened Maori beliefs that the Court's determinations were
part of the land purchase process rather than independent of it. Kawiti seems to have
viewed the advance payments as giving his rivals a potentially crucial advantage in the
battle for title. He feared, not unreasonably given what was happening elsewhere in Te
Raki, that the Court would favour Tawatawa and Nehua given that they were
negotiating and ready to sell the land to the Crown and had already been recognised by
its agents as holding rights to the land. Other Maori with interests in Puhipuhi shared
this belief. Kawiti refused to be excluded and accepted a Crown advance payment.329
326 Derby, A61, pp 73-84, especially pp 79, 84 327 Derby, A61, pp 75-79 328 Derby, A61, p 121 329 Derby, A61, pp 123-127
147
In 1880 and 1881, both the recipients and those excluded from advance payments
repeatedly sought title hearings for Puhipuhi. Maori were desperately scrambling for
title so that they could benefit from and exercise some control over the land
transactions over Puhipuhi that appeared inevitable. In April 1882 at Kawakawa, Judge
John Symonds presided over the third Native Land Court investigation into Puhipuhi.
Evidence was heard over a full eight days. The Court's independence from the land
purchasing process was further blurred by the dual role played during these hearings
by John Greenway, a Court official and interpreter 'with privileged access to the judge',
who was also acting as a Crown purchasing agent.330
This Court rejected Kawiti and Ngati Hine's rights to Puhipuhi. Judge Symonds awarded
9,000 acres of the southern part to the block to Nehua and Ngati Hau. Disappointed with
this, they refused to provide a list of names and received no certificate of title. Ngati Wai
and their whanaunga Ngati Manu and Ngati Te Ra were, on the other hand, delighted to
be awarded the bulk of the block, 16,000 acres. They provided a list of 36 names for the
certificate of title, but left out Tawatawa, apparently because they did not want to be
bound by his earlier acceptance of an advance payment and his agreement to sell the
land to the Crown. The exclusion of Tawatawa threatened the Crown's purchasing plans.
After contact between the registrar of the Court and the Crown, Tawatawa was added to
the title. Derby argues that this appears to have been 'a clearcut instance of a Crown
intervention to ensure that Court title determination reflected the payment of the
Crown's advances'.331
Greenway then attempted to complete the purchase but his efforts were complicated by
Maori protests and demands, including by Nehua and Kawiti, for a rehearing. The ill-
feeling was only heightened when the Crown refused a combined attempt by all three
disputing parties to return the advance payments and repudiate any commitment to sell
the land. In June 1882, there was an armed showdown between Ngati Hau, who felt
aggrieved by the Court's title ruling, and the Ngati Wai, Ngati Manu, and Ngati Te Ra
grantees.332
330 Derby A61, p 152
331 Derby A61, p 154 332 Derby A61, p 155-159
148
This may have prompted Chief Judge Fenton to allow a rehearing into this case, which
took place at Kawakawa in May 1883 under judges Loughlin O'Brien and Major William
Mair. Hipirini Te Whetu was the Native Assessor. Before the rehearing, Native Land
Purchase Under-Secretary R Gill instructed Greenway to use his influence at the Court
to advance the Crown's purchasing interest. Gill instructed him to guard the interests of
the Government and ensure that those who had received advance payments were, if the
land was awarded to their hapu, included on the title. Gill provided Greenway with a list
with details of those who should be included and the amount of money they had
previously received. Derby writes that Greenway was playing a 'conflicted' role:
as a supposedly impartial officer of the court, and also as an agent expected to 'watch the interests' of the Crown, which was determined to purchase Puhipuhi. It also suggests that by paying advances to individuals or groups ... [Crown purchase] agents were, in effect, shaping who was ultimately included in ownership lists, once title was awarded. In combination, these issues raise serious doubts about the independence of the court process.333
The rehearing was lengthy, lasting from 10 to 26 May 1883. During the hearing, the
claimants complained to the Court about the fees they were incurring,334 Undoubtedly, a
greater cost still was the involvement of lawyers, with J M Fraser representing Ngati
Hine during the rehearing. The role of debt in these hearings and the consequent sale of
most of Puhipuhi is discussed elsewhere. After what it described as 'a most difficult
case', the Court awarded 20,000 acres to Eru Nehua and his Ngati Hau claimants. Kawiti
and Ngati Hine received 3,000 acres (Puhipuhi 2) and individuals connected with Ngati
Wai, Ngati Manu, and Ngati Te Ra received 2,000 acres (Puhipuhi 3).335
As Derby points out, the Court had once again come to a radically different conclusion
regarding rights to Puhipuhi. But by 1883, the claimants had 'evidently grown
thoroughly tired' of a dispute and a Court process 'that had dragged on for more than a
decade'.336 Despite complaints by those excluded from the title, the three groups of
awardees quickly moved to sell their interests and pay off their debts.337

maintained were a 200-acre reserve in the main sale area by Ngati Hau and about 5,510
acres (Puhipuhi 4 and 5) that was awarded to Eru Nehua's whanau and associates and
restricted from alienation.338
Below, we discuss Nehua's efforts to utilise and develop
these remaining parts of Puhipuhi. But, overall, the case of Puhipuhi suggests that, even
in the 1880s, the Court process remained entwined with Crown purchasing.
3.5. Fragmentation and Partition While the Court continued in the 1880s to play a role in Maori land loss in Te Raki, its
processes also impacted on the ability of Maori to utilise and benefit from the areas that
remained in their ownership. This report has concentrated hitherto on the fact that the
Court awarded most Te Raki blocks to a single or a few individuals and how this
contributed to land loss and dispossession. However, another dynamic was increasingly
important from the 1880s onwards. The Court awarded a sizeable minority of blocks in
Te Raki to large numbers of individual owners. These owners possessed undefined,
undivided shares and were mired in a netherworld without either effective collective or
individual control over the land.
These blocks were often too small to economically support the many owners and their
dependents. Title overcrowding worsened due to the Court's succession policy. The
interests of intestate owners were inherited equally by all their children, leading to
increasing numbers of owners holding minuscule interests in blocks.339
It is worth pondering why the Court chose to award some blocks to many individual
owners and others to just a handful. The striking disparity did not come from the
The increasing
fragmentation of title only entrenched Maori involvement in the Court. Over time,
owners repeatedly returned to the Court to define and subdivide their interests into
what they hoped was a more manageable, effective form of title. This was rarely
successful. The shares of the owners were usually too small, and the Court process too
expensive and confused, to create viable individual plots. Indeed, relatively few
individual subdivisions were created. Rather more common was the creation of many
subdivisions too small to be economically viable, owned by multiple individual owners.

Court's understanding of customary tenure. There is nothing to suggest that judges
believed that a particular piece of land was traditionally under the sole control of a
single chief while a nearby area had many different interest-holders from a wide variety
of groups.
Instead, there would seem to be two major and inter-related reasons why a block would
be awarded to many rather than just a few Maori in Te Raki. The first was that the
applicants requested it. Blocks awarded to large numbers were often areas that local
Maori were determined to keep rather than sell. One example is the 20-acre Huiarau
block. The site of the important Raupekapeka pa, it was awarded to 42 Maori in 1882.340
While single owners or a few owners were often installed on the title to ease alienation,
many owners were seen as a way to prevent it. Moreover, Te Raki Maori had lost so
much of their land by this point that competition for legal title over the remaining areas
was especially potent. Rights to even small areas of land could be crucial for an
increasingly landless people.
More directly, land was awarded to many different owners when the Court was
confronted with dispute and opposing claimants. As we have seen, Court cases in Te
Raki were often tightly controlled affairs with little discussion about the complexities of
customary title, particularly when the Crown was already arranging the purchase of the
land. It was common in these cases for a small number of applicants to come to the
Court and claim rights to all the land. This encouraged the Court, whose policy was to
consider only the evidence presented to it, to make awards that failed to reflect the
reality that many other Maori traditionally held rights in the land.
But matters were different if a number of counterclaimants came forward to the Court
to oppose the applicants and, most crucially, the different parties gathered at the Court
could not reach informal agreement among themselves about who should be awarded
the title. These hearings tended to be longer, with debate and dispute among the
claimants and considerable discussion on communal, traditional rights and whakapapa.
In these contested cases, the Court would usually rule which tribal or ancestral group or
340 Armstrong, P1, p 34
151
groups (it was often more than one) held rights over the block. Representatives from
these groups would then produce lists of individual owners for the Court's approval.
These ownership lists were sometimes extensive.
Ironically, these more tribal and collective battles to gain and maintain title and
ownership lists that, at least to some degree, acknowledged that many Maori
traditionally held rights to land, encouraged the individualisation and loss of land. Over
time, blocks awarded to many individuals were usually subdivided and fragmented with
Europeans and, especially in the 1890s, the Crown purchasing the shares of the owners
and gradually acquiring substantial areas.
The Court's issuing of title to a few individuals contributed to massive land loss in Te
Raki. However, land awarded to a large amount of individuals also brought Te Raki
Maori few benefits. Either way, Court title was associated in Te Raki with the
destruction of Maori control over their land.
152
Figure 11: The Whirinaki Block
3.5.1. Whirinaki The approximately 2,360-acre Whirinaki block in southern Hokianga is an example of
how Court awards to large numbers of individual owners led to partitions and
eventually to land loss. The block came before the Court on 11 November 1885 with
153
Hapakuku Moetara leading the claimants' case. There was considerable opposition to
their claim, with 43 separate counter-claimants present at the hearings. The claimants
eventually accepted some of these counter-claimants into their application while others
argued their case in front of the Court. After a day's adjournment, a full fortnight of
evidence was heard.341
The Court ruled that the land would be awarded to those individuals descended from
two ancestors, Karewa and Tuteauru, who could show they had exercised ownership
rights in the block. Two leading claimants, Hapakuku Moetara and Karora Makarena
were asked to prepare the lists of owners. Their lists included 190 and 168 individuals
respectively. The lists provoked protests in Court from some of those excluded, with
allegations that they were the result of corruption and payoffs as much as customary
connections. As a result of the protests, further names were admitted to the list.
Whirinaki was awarded to at least 413 individuals.342
The block was clearly too small to
economically support so many owners. If the block was divided equally, each individual
would have received 5.71 acres. In reality, of course, the individual owners at this stage
held no defined, distinct portion of land.
It would appear that the many owners of Whirinaki were unable to gain much economic
benefit from their title. In 1894, partitioning began. Once started, it proved hard to stop
as Whirinaki was subdivided into ever diminishing fragments, each with a new official
appellation, and owned by a small group of individuals. For example, in 1912, the Court
created the subdivision of Whirinaki 4E2A and awarded it to 4 owners. Its size was 8
acres, 2 roods and 8 perches.343
From this point onwards, many of the Whirinaki subdivisions were sold or leased to
Europeans. Presumably, those that remained offered their owners few economic
opportunities. According to Paula Berghan, most of Whirinaki is no longer in Maori
341 Berghan, A39(h), pp 377-379 342 Berghan, A39(h), p 380 343 Berghan, A39(h), p 383
154
ownership. The small amount that remains Maori land is split into at least 75
subdivisions, some as small as 2 roods.344
Figure 12: The Punakitere Block

155
3.5.2. Punakitere No.2 Punakitere No. 2, a 4,767-acre block in the Hokianga sub-region, is another example of
how land awarded to large numbers of individual owners impeded economic utilisation
and led, after many years of futility and frustration, to fragmentation, subdivisions and
land loss. The following discussion is based on Berghan's block history and an initial
draft of Tony Walzl's upcoming report.
According to Walzl, closely connected hapu had long occupied this land. In 1876, Maori
sought title over the block, apparently as part of disputes over the control of kauri gum
and timber arrangements with Europeans. The Court system deepened these disputes
and led to conflict over the survey and application process.345
The title hearing, which opened at Ohaeawai on 20 October 1876, revolved around the
claims of Ngati Ue on the one hand and Ngati Tuatahi and Ngatitu on the other. Both
sides claimed the entire block and did not recognise the rights of the other. After several
days of evidence, Judge Monro ruled in favour of both groupings. He stated that one
unspecified part of Punakitere No. 2 would be awarded to individuals from Ngati Ue,
and the other to individuals from Ngati Tuatahi and Ngatitu, and asked for ownership
lists to be prepared.346
This did not satisfy the disputants and for a number of years the title for the block
remained in limbo with claimant groups refusing to submit ownership lists. In May
1883, Maori appeared at the Court in Ohaeawai and attempted to reopen the entire
issue of ownership of Punakitere No 2. Judge O'Brien refused, and after considerable
wrangling, representatives from the three groups finally heeded his demands that
ownership lists be prepared. Twenty-four individuals from the Ngati Ue list were
awarded an undefined half of the block. The other half was granted to 33 individuals on
the Ngati Tuatahi list along with 29 on the Ngatitu list.347

As Walzl states, it is doubtful
whether this title, and the entire Native Land Court process, was appropriate, given that
346 Walzl, 'Kohatutaka and Punakitere No.2', 26 August 2016 draft, p 13 347 Walzl, 'Kohatutaka and Punakitere No.2', 26 August 2016 draft, pp 14-16
156
tenure in the block was traditionally fluid with owners sharing and competing over
overlapping rights.348
Certainly, Native Land Court title did not lead to successful and sustainable utilisation of
Punakitere No. 2. Through the rest of the nineteenth century, it would seem that Maori
utilisation of the block revolved around gum digging and timber with little cultivation or
farming. In the mid-1890s, the Crown purchased the shares of two owners and after a
Court hearing, was awarded 49 acres.349
But it was the early twentieth century that saw the effects of the Court system really
take hold. By this point, the gum on the block was running out and many Maori were
digging elsewhere. Presumably in order to create new economic opportunities in the
block, a series of partitions took place. Initially, these were the result of discussions and
agreements between owners, with attempts to share the best and least productive land
and to create geographically defined holdings that encouraged whanau utilisation. But
the partition process proved impossible to stop. The subdivided blocks grew
increasingly smaller, and by 1919 most were less than 50 acres.350
By way of example, in 1912, Punakitere 2B7 was split into 15 new subdivisions. The two
larger subdivisions had many owners. More than 100 held rights in a 626-acre block
while 52 individuals owned a 127-acre area. The smaller subdivisions were also ill-
suited for economic development. Seven individuals held rights in Punakitere 2B7C,
which was just over 30 acres, while Punakitere 2B7H was just over 3 acres and had 2
owners.351
The number of owners of these subdivisions grew further due to the Court's succession
policy and the growth of the Te Raki Maori population. In 1883, Punakitere No. 2 was
awarded to 86 individuals. By 1920, there were 250 owners. Fragmentation did not
immediately lead to alienation. Up until 1950, Maori still retained 90 percent of the
348 Walzl, 'Kohatutaka and Punakitere No.2', 26 August 2016 draft, p 58 349 Berghan, A39(f), p 365 350 Walzl, 'Kohatutaka and Punakitere No.2', 26 August 2016 draft, p 59 351 Berghan, A39(f), p 368
157
original block, but, as Walzl comments, 'there was little land utilisation'.352 At that stage,
the Crown began to acquire many of the subdivisions. Today, just 674 acres of
Punakitere No. 2, split into approximately 50 subdivisions, remains Maori land. This
represents just 13.6 percent of the original block.353

158
3.5.3. Pakanae No. 2 Fragmentation and partitioning often affected blocks that local Maori had set aside for
their residence and maintenance during the surge of Crown purchasing in the mid
1870s. As Coralie Clarkson discusses, the Crown purchased most of Pakanae in 1875.
The following year local Maori went to the Court to secure title over an approximately
425-acre area (Pakanae No. 2) which would seem to have been the site of the main
papakainga in the area.354
On 11 November 1876, Hapakuku Moetara gave evidence to the Court at Herd's Point
on behalf of Ngati Korokoro. Unlike the areas sold to the Crown, the applicants wanted
Pakanae No. 2 awarded to a significant number of Maori, both, it would seem, to protect
it from sale and because it had to support many different people. With most
surrounding land now owned by the Crown, Pakanae No. 2 was critical for ongoing
Maori settlement and cultivation in the area. It possessed some flat land and an
advantageous location close to Hokianga Harbour. As Hapakuku Moetara told the Court,
it was the site of Ngati Korokoro's permanent settlement named Pakanae and was a
place of pa and cultivations. He suggested 36 people who should be placed on the
memorial of owners.355
For unknown reasons, Judge Monro adjourned the hearing without issuing title. It was
5½ years later, on 21 March 1882, when Judge Symonds reheard the case at Herd's
Point. The applicants stated that the block belonged to Ngati Korokoro and Ngati Pouka,
and that it had long been occupied and was a place of tribal cultivation and burial sites.
There were no objections, and an ownership list with 66 individuals was submitted and
accepted.356
However, Pakanae No. 2 was simply too small to support this many owners. The block
was 425 acres, and the 66 owners held the undefined equivalent of just 6.44 acres of
land each. By 1889, succession cases meant that at least 90 Maori held rights to the
354 Clarkson, A58, p 10 355 Clarkson, A58, pp 44-46 356 Rigby, A58, pp 46-48
159
land.357
But the legal owners were not the only ones connected to Pakanae 2 and it
would seem that Maori settlement in the region was increasingly concentrated on this
small, desirable piece of land.
In November 1889, Pakanae No. 2 was suddenly and radically divided. Some owners
were seeking defined portions that they could sell or lease. Others, apparently, wanted
to create small holdings for individual residences and cultivation. Acting on owner
requests, the Court subdivided Pakanae No. 2 into 82 numbered sections.358
To survey all these subdivisions proved prohibitively expensive and difficult. With no
adequate boundaries, the ability of the owners to benefit from this land – including
selling or leasing it – was handicapped. For more than 30 years, this block lay in a
strange and uncompleted legal state, with 82 undefined subdivisions. As Clarkson
discusses, the lack of a survey eventually 'became too problematic to ignore' and in
1922 the block was surveyed and repartitioned into 30 subdivisions.359 This required a
complex Court process and considerable survey costs for often tiny pieces of land. The
number of owners had grown quickly with one subdivision awarded to 55 different
individuals. This was not the end of partitioning. Today, parts of Pakanae No. 2 remain
in Maori ownership but in a hopelessly uneconomic tenure. For instance, the 2-acre
Pakanae 2L block has 175 owners.360
3.6. The Economic Results of Interaction with the Court By the 1880s, it was apparent that interaction with the Native Land Court had set back
rather than aided the economic position of Te Raki Maori. The reports of Nicholas
Bayley, David Alexander, and Armstrong and Subasic all argue that the large-scale titling
and sales of the mid-1870s had brought few benefits, apart from the quickly exhausted
sale price.361 Te Raki Maori had lost the majority of their 'primary asset': their land.362
357 Rigby, A58, p 560
The areas that they did retain, and especially those blocks under Court tenure, were
358 Clarkson, A58, pp 48-50 359 Clarkson, A58, p 76 360 Clarkson, A58, pp 80-85, 124-125 361 Bayley, E41, pp 65-106; Alexander, A7, pp 110-205 in particular; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1117-1129 in particular 362 Bayley, E41, pp 88-89
160
proving inadequate for social and economic equality and progress.363 There were
frequent reports that Te Raki Maori were failing to 'grow sufficient food for themselves
let alone to sell to others’.364
Te Raki Maori were the poorest and most vulnerable sector of an economically
backwards region marked by a chronic lack of infrastructure. A general depression in
agriculture during the 1880s deepened their economic and political marginalisation.
For the rest of the century and beyond Maori economic survival in Te Raki revolved not
around their land but their labour in extractive industries, especially gum digging.365
A number of reports for this inquiry that discuss specific blocks and areas suggest that
land under Court title proved to be an inadequate basis for economic development. For
example, reports by Alexandra Horsley on the Otangaroa, Te Pupuke and Waihapa
blocks in Whangaroa; by Dr Ann Beaglehole on Horohora in the Whangarei district; and
by Tony Walzl regarding Punakitere No. 2 in the Hokianga district all failed to uncover
evidence of successful farming or economic utilisation in the nineteenth century.366
Only a handful of Te Raki chiefs did, for a time at least, successfully use the Native Land
Court to create economic opportunities for themselves and their people. These leaders
exhibited considerable skills and expended considerable resources in their attempt to
navigate and control the Court system. But even in these exceptional cases, interaction
with the Court ultimately led to land loss and fragmentation.
The attempt by Maori led by Rahui Te Kiri and Tenetahi to gain a secure hold over
Hauturu and to strengthen their existing economic activities on the island has already
been discussed. Over time, this whanau and group created cultivations and timber
363 There is insufficient evidence to argue whether Maori gained more economic advantage from their customary or Court-titled land. With a few exceptions, there seems to have been little successful Maori farming in this period on any type of land. One exception was in the Rohe Potae around Motatau. As discussed below, freedom from Court-derived tenure appears in this case to have encouraged innovative collective enterprise. 364 Bayley, E41, p 79 365 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1124-1131, 1134-1135 366 Horsely, A57; Dr Ann Beaglehole, 'Horohora Block History', local studies of NLC land blocks, a report for the local issues research programme for the Te Paparahi o Te Raki (Wai 1040) inquiry, draft, June 2016; Walzl, 'Kohatutaka and Punakitere No.2 (1865-present)', initial draft of internal review, 26 August 2016
161
partnerships, and established a flock of 1,000 sheep, 30 head of cattle, as well as other
livestock. But in the late 1890s, Tenetahi was still wracked with debt incurred during
the long battle for title over this land. Non-resident owners sold their interests to the
Crown while resident owners had their interests compulsorily acquired and were
forcibly evicted from the island.367
A not dissimilar case involved Te Hemara Tauhia and his people in Mahurangi. We have
seen that during the late 1860s, Te Hemara expertly used the Court to gain legal title
over key remaining areas of Mahurangi for himself and others, especially in Waiwera-
Puhoi. He was, for a period, held up by Europeans as a glowing example of a chief using
legal title to carry out farming and other economic developments.
But by the 1880s much of the land had been sold and he was, in Armstrong and
Subasic's words, an example of 'thwarted Maori ambitions'.368
the need to further develop land resulted in more land sales and leases. But given an ongoing lack of ready and more reliable access to markets, an absence of settlement on the scale promised by Crown agents, the multitude of costs associated with the Native Land Court ... and the need to support a community of 60-100 people (including covering their debts), Te Hemara's efforts ultimately came to nothing and the only alternative was to continue selling in order to ensure mere survival.
They argue that for Te
Hemara:
369
By 1889, Te Hemara had transferred the last vestiges of his land, just over 2,000 acres at
Puhoi plus some shares in land elsewhere, to his wife. His predicament was a drastic
example of the landlessness that affected Mahurangi Maori in general by this time. As he
told Government ministers: 'you have taken my shirt, trousers, and everything.'370
Eru Nehua was another leader who used his mana in both the Maori and European
spheres to try to gain title and carry out innovative and ambitious economic
developments. Derby depicts Nehua as a modernising and gifted leader with in-depth
knowledge and understanding of the Court process. From the 1860s, he led farming and
367 Johnson, E8, including pp 29, 32-33, 48, 56 368 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 940 369 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 950 370 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 947
162
cultivation efforts around the papakainga of Taharoa. By 1882, fifty or sixty members of
his hapu occupied and were communally farming the area. They owned 250 head of
cattle, 210 sheep, 2,000 pigs, and 20 horses and had installed a European on part of the
land to help run the cattle.371
Nehua took a prominent role in the titling and sale of surrounding lands.372 It would
appear that he funnelled his share of the proceeds from these sales and from advance
payments for the Puhipuhi block into the effort to gain title and develop the southern
part of Puhipuhi, including Taharoa.373 Nehua incurred significant court-related costs
including £302 he paid for the survey of the Puhipuhi block.374
Finally, in 1883, after a long and difficult Court battle, Nehua achieved his aim. The
Court granted Puhipuhi 5, which included Taharoa, to 12 of his hapu and immediate
whanau. The nearby Puhipuhi 4 was also awarded to 26 of his hapu. These 5,510 acres
of land represented around 21 per cent of the original Puhipuhi block and included
some of its best farming areas. Relatively flat and partly cleared for grazing, it already
had houses, fencing, and access routes. Another valuable resource was its kahikatea
forest.375
Crucially, Nehua did not just seek title but used the Court and land sale process to
maintain control over the land. He successfully requested that the Court make these
lands inalienable except by sale, mortgage or lease for more than 21 years.376
371 Derby, A61, p 197
He strove
to keep himself and his people out of debt so that they could develop rather than sell the
areas. In 1884, he and his fellow Ngati Hau leaders sold the Puhipuhi 1 block (13,372
acres) to the Crown for £8,574. He further solidified his position by insisting, during this
sale, that the Crown grant him a further 200-acre reserve within the sale block.
Moreover, the Crown reimbursed him for previous surveying costs in Puhipuhi and paid
372 Armstrong, P1, pp 31-40 373 Apart from land sales, little evidence has been found suggesting whether Te Raki Maori were able to access development finance. 374 Derby, A61, p 181 375 Derby, A61, p 276 376 Derby, A61, pp 171-172
163
for the survey of the three portions that would remain under his and his people's
control.377
In the following years, Nehua and his whanau successfully farmed Puhipuhi 5. In 1890,
it was reported that he lived ‘in European style and is much respected by the settlers for
his many good qualities. The sheep on his place were in splendid condition.' Between
1890 and 1905, he was one of the largest sheep farmers in Whangarei County with a
flock that reached 900.378
Nehua continued to use his influence and skills to combat the Court's tendency to
undermine chiefly control over land. He did not have himself installed on the title for
Puhipuhi 5 but asserted his influence in other ways. The title for Puhipuhi 5 was kept
restricted to whanau and supporters with Nehua acting as trustee for some of the
minors. It was generally agreed that the land was 'never to be partitioned' and was to
remain a joint family enterprise. Nehua refused to allow any part of the block to be sold
or leased and went to the Court to prevent those from outside the immediate family
gaining rights to the land through succession.379
Nehua's successful control of Puhipuhi 5 allowed him and his family to play a significant
role in the wider area. They were briefly part-owners of at least two silver mines, and
Nehua owned boarding houses. They cleared and farmed other lands they owned and
donated land for a school and church on the Puhipuhi block.380
But even Nehua, with his advantages and skills, could not hold off the forces of
fragmentation and sale for ever. His control over Puhipuhi 4, owned by 26 members of
his hapu, was always more limited. He was trustee for a number of minors who, by
1894, had reached the age of 21 and had control over their interests. The block was less
economically successful than Puhipuhi 5 and by 1896 partitions, frequent Court
hearings and conflict had begun.381
377 Derby, A61, pp 181, 184, 187-188
378 Derby, A61, p 277 379 Derby, A61, pp 278-279 380 Derby, A61, pp 362-363 381 Derby, A61, p 281
164
Puhipuhi 5 was also partitioned at the end of the century, albeit in a more controlled
fashion. In 1914, Nehua died. His ability to utilise and control the Court and sale process
to encourage the collective development of land would not survive him. Increasingly in
debt, and lacking his strong leadership presence, the owners of Puhipuhi 4 and 5 moved
towards sale. By 1926, about 56 percent of the two blocks had been sold and a further
33 percent leased to Europeans.382
It had taken some time, but the Court and sale
process had finally overcome the development attempts of Eru Nehua and his people.
3.7. Resistance to the Court For many Te Raki iwi, hapu, and leaders, the Native Land Court was by the 1880s
synonymous with poverty and land loss rather than economic development and secure
title. This led, for the rest of the nineteenth century and beyond, to sustained attempts
by Te Raki Maori to reform, resist and destroy the Native Land Court. The Court system
would survive. Nonetheless, Te Raki Maori resistance from the 1880s onwards was a
crucial factor in slowing its progress and keeping significant parts of the inquiry district
under customary title.
3.7.1. Political Protest Armstrong and Subasic provide a thorough discussion on the rapid rise of opposition in
Te Raki to the Native Land Court. They note that during the 1871 Haultain inquiry, Te
Raki chiefs had criticised aspects of the titling process but had not expressed
'fundamental opposition, or opposition of a political nature' to the Court as an
institution. The large-scale hearings and land sales beginning in 1875 changed all that.
In Armstrong and Subasic's words, a 'cognitive shift' had taken place in the attitudes of
Te Raki Maori by the early 1880s and the 'whole Native Land Court and Crown land
purchase system' was under attack.383
Some of the most prominent chiefs of Te Raki led these protests. These men had been
(and, to some degree continued to be) closely involved with the Court and with land
sales, which they now considered a path to devastation and disempowerment. They
382 Derby, A61, p 284 383 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 998
165
merged potent criticism of the titling and purchasing system with implied regret about
their own involvement. In 1879, Te Hemara Tauhia addressed the Orakei Parliament, a
pan-tribal political forum. He said:
The Native Land Court was established. Then we perceived our misfortunes when it was decided that pakehas should be judges of the court. What did the pakehas know of Maori customs that they should be appointed judges? Sometimes in these courts a chief would get up and claim the land: but a man of inferior birth would also claim. The land was awarded to the chief, and the man of inferior birth got nothing ... But listen. The pakehas are not to blame: all the Natives in this Island committed part of the fault. The only fault of the pakehas is that they have taken the mana of the whole island. They do not leave any mana over the land or the sea to the chiefs. There was no reason for depriving the chiefs of their mana.384
Te Hemara argued that only the complete abandonment of the Court system could save
Maori and their land:
I condemn this continual anxiety of the Maoris to sell land, by which we shall die. But you may bring up the sale of lands, and you cannot stop it. Only when the Courts are abolished can we attempt to stop the sale of lands. There are troubles upon all the Island through these Land Courts. We are to blame as well as the Government.385
Te Raki Maori played a major role in calls by the Orakei Parliament for the Court to be
abolished. The Orakei Parliament in 1879 passed Paora Tuhaere's resolution that:
surveys, Land Courts, and Crown grants should cease; that the Maori mana should remain over lands not surveyed and adjudicated ... that reserves should be made inalienable; that deposits on land and mortgages should cease.386
The same demands were voiced in the New Zealand Parliament. Since the mid 1870s,
Hone Mohi Tawhai had protested about the harmful influence of advance payments in
the Court and land purchasing system. He knew of what he spoke, having himself
accepted these payments and been involved in a number of title determinations and
transactions in Te Raki. In 1876, at the height of the Court hearings and land sales, he
wrote to the Government newspaper Te Wananga claiming that:
384 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 945-946 385 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 946 386 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 946
166
The following are what the Ngapuhi have agreed to: That the Native Lands Court be done away with. That the lands which we have not passed through the Native Lands Court, shall be held by us in the same way as they were held by our ancestors.387
By 1879, he was the Northern Maori Member of the House of Representatives and
believed that advances, Court surveys and hearings were the cause of violence and
conflict. He told Parliament that the Court should be abolished as:
the real cause of these troubles is the law which provides for the Native Land Court, through which surveyors go on the land to survey, and in doing so get shot at. How is it that it never struck your people who have been in previous Governments this Native Land Court should be eradicated[?]388
Tawhai was delighted when in 1883 the Government proposed banning advance
payments, but outraged when the Crown exempted itself from the law. He told the
House:
There was a law laid down that it should not be permitted for any dealings to be carried out in connection with Native lands, such as leasing or sales, before such lands had been adjudicated upon by the Native Land Court or surveyed ... you, the Europeans who are so full of wisdom and knowledge, did not pay any respect to that law, but you became law-breakers. You continue that practice until the scandal becomes too great; then you come here and try to make a fresh law ... You cannot say the Maori has been instrumental in bringing about his own doom – that he has been trampling underfoot the law that has been made for him. Sir, I will not say that the Europeans sinned only against the law – against the Acts brought in – but they also broke the Treaty of Waitangi.389
Armstrong and Subasic cite this speech as an example of how the Treaty of Waitangi
was increasingly a key point of reference in the protests of Te Raki Maori, which were
'centred on land title individualisation, land alienation, and the Native Land Court
system'.390
Calls to abolish the Court were increasingly coupled with demands that it be replaced by
separate Maori institutions. Many Te Raki Maori continued to want legally recognised

167
title over their lands. But they wanted Maori, not the Native Land Court, to define the
nature of that title and to make the crucial decisions. In 1883, Tawhai led calls for the
Queen and the British Parliament to save Maori from being 'swept from the land of the
forefathers.' He and other Maori members of Parliament explained that the Court was
awarding tribal land to individuals and demanded that it be abolished. Maori lands
should be vested in 'an elective body of Maoris, who would be better able to decide
questions of title than European judges.’391
Maihi Paraone Kawiti was another who advocated that Maori committees and runanga
should replace the Court. He had long criticised the entire edifice of legislation that
guided the Court. In 1876, he and 269 others submitted a petition objecting to a new
Native Lands Bill which they believed was:
worse than the Native Land Acts of 1873 and 1874, and that death would be better than life if such torture is to continue. That, while objecting to the proposed new law, they also earnestly pray for the repeal of the laws of 1873 and 1874.392
By 1881, he was demanding that:
we Maoris be allowed to manage our own concerns. Let there be a committee appointed to consider Maori subjects. The great thing is that Maoris should consider and have management of their own affairs.393
Hirini Taiwhanga also favoured the abolition of the Native Land Court, which he
described in 1880 as the 'source of all their troubles' and its replacement with a 'Maori
Tribunal’.394
The political position of Te Raki chiefs had, by the 1880s, moved emphatically against
the Native Land Court. Often voiced as part of wider movements, their demands for a
fundamental change in the land titling and purchasing system were largely ignored by
the Crown. But these political actions did have practical consequences in Te Raki. They
were an integral part of a multi-faceted attempt by Te Raki Maori to retain control over
391 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 998 392 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 863 393 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1004 394 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1003
168
their remaining lands and to find a way out of the problems associated with the Native
Land Court. We turn now to another part of that attempt.
3.7.2. Komiti and Runanga By the early 1880s, a range of unofficial Maori committees and runanga in Te Raki were
attempting to adjudicate on land titles (and other matters) and, in doing so, to remove
the influence and problems associated with the Native Land Court. The central problem
these committees faced was their lack of legal power. If any of those involved were
dissatisfied with the decision, they could apply to the Native Land Court and receive a
legally binding title determination.
This problem affected even those committees that were eventually sanctioned by the
Government. From 1880, Hone Mohi Tawhai led the battle to have the Crown recognise
and empower Maori committees. Supported by other Maori members of Parliament, he
drafted a bill proposing that elected committees be established throughout the country
with the:
authority to inquire into disputes arising in the district in connection with the surveying of land, applications for the investigation of title to lands, and the sale of lands upon the application of the persons involved in the lands under dispute.395
Despite support from Te Raki and other Maori, the bill was resisted by the Crown before
a weakened version was enacted. The Native Committees Act 1883 allowed officially
recognised committees to investigate titles but only in order to provide information for
the Native Land Court. The Court remained in control of the titling process and could
accept or, as proved to be more common, reject the recommendations of the
Committees as it saw fit.396
Nonetheless, Tawhai and other Te Raki Maori sought to make a success of the limited
opportunity available to them. Tawhai was appointed chairman of the Bay of Islands
Native Committee, while an officially recognised Kaipara Native Committee was also
established. These committees battled against lack of resources and the fact that many
395 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1012 396 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1015-1016
169
Maori in the area preferred their own local committees and to stay as far removed from
the Crown on land title matters as possible. Kawiti, Taiwhanga, and Tuhaere were
among those who considered the 'official' committees to be assisting rather than
offering an alternative to the Court process and called for them to be avoided.397
The official committees were not without their supporters or their successes. The Bay of
Islands Native Committee claimed in 1887 to have resolved a number of difficult cases
in Kaikohe to the approval of all those involved.398 Tawhai appealed to the Government
for more power for the Committee, including for the Court to simply rubber-stamp its
decisions. This was refused. Increasingly ineffective, official Native Committees, in the
words of Armstrong and Subasic, 'petered out’.399
While historians such as Vincent O'Malley have judged the official Native Committees to
have been a 'signal failure', the unofficial committees had a somewhat longer
lifespan.400
For the rest of the nineteenth century, they helped keep considerable parts
of Te Raki out of the Native Land Court system. Their lack of legal power meant that
they were always threatened and sometimes thrust aside by the Court. Nonetheless,
they were influential in Te Raki, especially in areas where opposition to the Native Land
Court was most strongly organised and led. They also played a role in parts of the
inquiry district where there was less pressure from Crown and private purchasers, and
with little history of interaction with the Native Land Court.
The most prominent of these unofficial groups appears to have been the Committee of
the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Komiti o Te Titiri o Waitangi). Established in 1881, and
backed by Kawiti among others, it carried out a variety of functions, including the
investigation of land titles.401
a feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction pervades the Maori mind. In connection with this Treaty of Waitangi a committee has been appointed
In 1884, the Mangonui resident magistrate, H W Bishop
reported that:

170
imbued by general consent with large judicial powers, and members travel around the northern districts, adjudicating in cases of every description. Some decisions of a most extraordinary character have been told to me, but the Natives appear to invariably manage to ultimately settle the disputes by mutual consent, and they loyally uphold and carry out the dicta of these curiously-composed tribunals.402
It and other non-Crown sanctioned committees continued to operate during the brief
lifespan of the officially recognised Bay of Islands Native Committee. Unofficial
committees were especially powerful in the Rohe Potae established under the authority
of Maihi Paraone Kawiti in the Motatau area. As discussed below, the Native Land Court
was banned from this area which relied on its own committees and institutions to settle
land matters. When disputes did break out, Kawiti sometimes used 'outside' Maori
committees to adjudicate, including the Committee of the Treaty of Waitangi and a
committee headed by the Ngati Hau leader Eru Nehua.403
The central attraction of these unofficial committees was also their central weakness. Te
Raki Maori like Kawiti valued the committees because they were distinct from the
Native Land Court, but their exclusion from the official system made it possible for their
decisions to be ignored and encouraged local Maori to use the Court.
As a result, the influence of the unofficial committees seems to have risen and fallen in
Te Raki during the 1880s, although they never ceased completely. By 1889, it was
reported that the Committee of Treaty of Waitangi was 'fully revived'.404
the native opinion generally [favoured] the stoppage of individual dealings with land and in place thereof appoint native committees with a Government officer to settle the question of boundaries and the titles of land, disputed cases to be referred to some Court for determination.
It and the other
local committees received a boost with the establishment of the Rees-Carroll
Commission into the Court and the Native Land Acts. The Commission was involved in a
number of hui in Te Raki during April 1891 where they encountered overwhelming
criticism of the Court and equally overwhelming support for Maori committees. After
the hui at Waimate North, it was reported that:
405

171
As discussed below, some Te Raki leaders believed that the Commission would lead to a
radical extension of the powers of Maori committees. As a result, they strengthened
their efforts to keep their land out of the Court. These hopes for an alternative to the
Court were not to be realised, at least until the short-lived experiment of the papatupu
block committees in the early twentieth century.
Instead, as the following case studies illustrate, the unofficial committees were up
against the Court's monopoly power over legal titles and the hostility of the Crown.
Sometimes, as in the case of Te Pupuke (2,363 acres), on the south-western side of the
Whangaroa Harbour, even the staunchest opponents of the Court were forced to give
way. As Horsley discusses, Te Pupuke was an important piece of customary land, the
site of the local papakainga, and possessed valuable food sources and some suitable
areas for cultivation.406
Most surrounding land had gone before the Court. Given the disputes between Taniora
Arapata on one side and Hare Hongi Hika and Paora Ururoa on the other, it appeared
that Te Pupuke would be next to be taken to the Court. However, in 1882, Hika and
Ururoa withdrew their application for a Court hearing on Te Pupuke and referred the
case to the Committee of the Treaty of Waitangi. Taniora agreed and played a full role in
the Committee's investigation, which took place at Papakanui, a pa site on Te Pupuke in
1884.407
A committee of chiefs, headed by Wiremu Katene, heard the case, which lasted for two
days. There is limited and conflicting evidence regarding what the Committee decided
but the relevant point for our discussion is that their decision did not hold. In 1885,
Taniora Arapata was back in the Native Land Court at Mangonui. His opponents, led by
Hare Hongi Hika, Paora Ururoa, and Mita Hape refused to take part, staging a walkout
with their supporters just before the hearings opened. Their opposition to the Court
proved costly. Taniora Arapata presented the majority of the evidence to the Court and
406 Horsley, A57, p 70 407 Horsley, A57, pp 72-73
172
was at the head of a group of 66 that was awarded Te Pupuke West.408
Those who had
refused to attend the Court were excluded from the title.
With the death of Hongi Hika, Mita Hape and Paora Ururoa led the attempts to have
their rights over this land recognised. They were stuck in a bind familiar to Te Raki
Maori leaders such as Te Hemara Tauahere and Paora Tuhaere, who organised but then
abandoned a boycott of the Native Land Court in Kaipara in 1885.409
Mita Hape and
Paora Ururoa wanted to avoid the Court but could not easily sit back and allow the land
to be awarded to their rivals.
Their first move was to appeal to Parliament for help, but the Native Affairs select
committee thrust the issue back to the Native Land Court who ordered a rehearing.
After considerable delays, the rehearing was scheduled to open on 17 June 1891. Hape,
Ururoa, and their supporters repeatedly wrote to the Court asking that the rehearing be
abandoned and the case be adjudicated upon by a Maori committee. They were
optimistic that the recent Rees-Carroll Commission would result in these committees
having real authority. One of their letters stated:
This is to inform you that the Land Court at Whangaroa has been made of none effect concerning Te Pupuke and other lands of ours at Whangaroa on account of the burdensomeness of the (Native) land laws. The words of the Commissioner [Rees and Carroll] have reached us (requesting) that any observed evil (working) of the NLCourt should be made public. Enough, the right methods have been shown by the Native people to the Commissioners. The Commissioners have said that a Native Committee will be set up to adjudicate on Native Lands in the immediate future, therefore we have agreed to this at the present time. Therefore for the present our lands are being withheld. Enough, do you all remain away and not waste time.410
But the Native Land Court process, once set in motion, was often impossible to stop. The
Court ignored the requests and the rehearing went ahead. At the opening of the case,
Hape again pleaded for the rehearing to be abandoned as 'the natives have decided after
several meetings not to bring this case before the Court.' The Court refused, and after a
408 Horsley, A57, p 75. The Court did not issue title for the eastern part of the block at this time. 409 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 868, which suggests that the boycott was abandoned out of respect for Judge Rogan 410 Horsley, A57, pp 78-79
173
lengthy discussion with his supporters, Hape decided that he could no longer stand
aside from the Court. The rehearing was concluded and the Court had triumphed over
its opponents. Horsley's report details the subsequent fragmentation and alienation.
Today, only 38 per cent of it remains Maori land.411
In other areas, Te Raki Maori were able to use unofficial committees to keep land out of
the Native Land Court system for the rest of the nineteenth century. As Anthony Patete
writes, Whangaroa Maori preferred to have the Committee of the Treaty of Waitangi,
rather than the Native Land Court, adjudicate over land in Matauri Bay, north of
Kerikeri and east of the Whangaroa Harbour. This area was known for its isolation from
Crown authority and saw little Native Land Court activity during the nineteenth
century.
In 1884, there were two Committee of the Treaty of Waitangi hearings over the Matauri
block: one at Ohaeawai and the other possibly at Te Ngaere.412 The evidence of these
hearings is sparse although we know a little more about the Committee's inquiry into
nearby Motukawa (Motukawananui) island and other Cavalli Islands from 2 to 7 May
1890. These investigations appear to have been rather more detailed than most Court
hearings in Te Raki during the nineteenth century, although they resembled the Court in
some facets. The three-member committee, chaired by Paki Wi Hongi, conducted its
inquiries at Matauri and Ohaeawai. Four main claimants were involved, and there was
considerable evidence taken regarding whakapapa and customary rights to land,
including tuku and raupatu, as well as contemporary issues involving a leasing
arrangement with a Pakeha. Hearing fees were charged and thorough minutes (in Te
Reo Maori) were taken, which included a listing and description of important sites on
the island.413
411 Horsley, A57, p 105 412 Anthony Patete, 'Matauri', a report commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Wai 1040 inquiry, April 2016 draft, pp 99-100 413 Patete, ’Matauri’, April 2016 draft, pp 436-443
174
Little is known about the practical ramifications of the Committee's decision or what it
suggested about Maori ideas regarding land tenure in this period. Later evidence
suggests that the Committee awarded four main claimants a quarter of Motukawa
Island, and a number of smaller islands to one claimant. It would appear that these
awardees then provided a register of the names of those whom they were representing
and would be included in the award.414
But what is striking is that there was no attempt
to re-litigate this decision in the Native Land Court. The claimants and others with
connections to Matauri continued to prefer alternatives to the Court, and would be
deeply involved in the papatupu block committees established in the early twentieth
century.
3.7.3. Where the Court could not go: The Rohe Potae The establishment of a Rohe Potae over a considerable area within the Bay of Islands
and Whangarei sub-regions was a key development in the growing resistance to the
Native Land Court. Peter Clayworth's upcoming report will discuss this Rohe Potae,
established under the authority of Maihi Paraone Kawiti, in which surveys, the Native
Land Court, and land sales to Pakeha were banned.415
The Rohe Potae included what would become the Motatau block (approximately 89,500
acres) and adjoining areas inland of the Bay of Islands, to the south of Kawakawa,
Moerewa, and Kaikohe. With the loss of coastal land to the Crown and Europeans, this
was from the 1870s an increasingly important population centre for Ngati Hine, Ngati
Kahu, and related iwi/hapu. Waiomio was a main residence for Kawiti and the site of
economic development. The local economy revolved around farming, gum digging, and
timber logging. Maize and potatoes were cultivated, and sheep, pigs, horses, and cattle
were imported. Land for grazing and cultivation was cleared, while throughout the area
waterways, bushes, and swamps provided important resources.416
414 Patete, ’Matauri’, April 2016 draft, p 443 415 Clayworth, ‘A History of the Motatau Block c.1880-c.1980’, draft, 21 June 2016 416 Clayworth, ‘A History of the Motatau Block c.1880-c.1980’, draft, 21 June 2016, pp 20-21.
175
Despite, or perhaps because he had participated in many Court hearings and land sales
in the wider region, Kawiti was determined to keep this area under communal control.
Inspired by events elsewhere in the North Island, Te Raki's Rohe Potae received
widespread support from Maori and proved to be the most effective single bulwark
against the Native Land Court in the inquiry district.
As early as 1872, Kawiti and other chiefs were planning to establish an area in which
communal control would be protected from the Native Land Court and Crown purchase.
In late 1874, after considerable hui, the boundaries of the Rohe Potae were established:
'including all its [Waiomio's] boundaries and the Motatau range as far as the Hikurangi
range.'417
The area was under Kawiti's overall authority and was divided into four
sections with each section controlled by a group of representatives who held the land
on behalf of larger groups of people. Kawiti was careful to inform the Crown, Europeans,
and other Maori about the boundaries of the Rohe Potae and its guiding principles.
The first decade of the Rohe Potae saw the communal economy grow, especially around
Waiomio. Kawiti leased gumfields to Maori and Pakeha (and sold land elsewhere), using
the proceeds for a variety of projects, including building the Titiri o Waitangi meeting
house, a flax mill, and a storehouse for gum.418
There were carefully controlled leases
and timber milling elsewhere in the Rohe Potae, with title and other matters decided
through local committees.
In 1885, a challenge to the autonomy of the Rohe Potae and Kawiti's authority broke
out. It revolved around a dispute between the young chief Wiki Moeanu and Kawiti over
land in Waiomio. A Maori committee, chaired by an outside leader, the Ngati Hau chief
Eru Nehua, investigated the dispute and ruled in favour of Kawiti. The disgruntled Wiki
Moeanu made known that he would seek a survey and Native Land Court hearing over
the land. Kawiti's response was emphatic. He reminded the Native Minister, John
Ballance, of the boundaries of the Rohe Potae and warned that no surveys, land courts,
or sales would be tolerated.419

176
In March 1886, Wiki wrote to the Native Minister and requested Crown support for a
survey and Court hearing. Ballance, aware of the hostility towards the Court, did not
attempt to force a title hearing against the will of the Rohe Potae and its leader. Rather,
he proposed to Kawiti three ways to end the dispute with Wiki: Kawiti could apply for a
Court hearing himself, have a Crown-sanctioned Native Committee rule, or refer it to
arbitration.420
Kawiti refused all three, calling for the non-Government sanctioned Committee of the
Treaty of Waitangi to adjudicate on the matter. When this proved unacceptable to the
Native Minister, and with Wiki continuing to demand a Court hearing, Kawiti agreed to a
compromise. Henry Tacy Clarke of the Native Department, and two Maori arbitrators,
one each nominated by Kawiti and Wiki, would hear the disputes. Between 100 and 150
Maori gathered to hear proceedings in November 1886. Despite Clarke's assertion that
the final decision would have the same weight as a Native Land Court ruling, the
arbitration had no legal effect.
However, to the satisfaction of many local Māori, the arbitration did acknowledge the
autonomy of the Rohe Potae and the authority of Kawiti. The arbitrators stated that the
land under dispute was customary title and ruled that Kawiti, as a paramount chief, held
unquestionably stronger rights over it than an individual such as Wiki. The arbitrators
admitted that things would be very different if the land came under the Native Land
Court, but here Kawiti's mana remained intact.421
The ruling was widely publicised by supporters of the Rohe Potae, with hui reasserting
the area's independence and reiterating the ban on the Court and land sales. Even after
Kawiti died in 1889, the Court was kept out of the Rohe Potae. Following Kawiti's death,
Wiki returned to the area and again asked for the Crown to survey Waiomio in
preparation for a Court hearing. He was rebuffed, as Crown officials reluctantly
accepted that opposition to the Court in the area remained overwhelming.422

177
As discussed in the following chapter, the Rohe Potae around Motatau and the ban on
the Native Land Court remained intact until 1900. It was the biggest area of customary
land within Te Raki and at the heart of the largest area of Maori-owned land within the
inquiry district.423
This Rohe Potae, and the other Maori-owned lands in Te Raki that
remained outside the Crown's tenurial system, were telling proof that resistance to the
Native Land Court was both powerful and, against considerable odds, influential.

4. Chapter Four: Continued Maori Resistance and
Renewed Crown Purchasing in the 1890s
4.1. Introduction Maori opposition to the Crown's titling system, which became a force in Te Raki during
the 1880s, strengthened further in the 1890s. This chapter examines attempts by local
Maori to avoid and replace the Native Land Court. During this period, Te Raki resistance
to the Court had some noteworthy successes. The amount of new land being passed
before the Court decreased and some local communities were able to keep significant
areas in communal, customary tenure.
Nonetheless, the Court system continued to have a multi-faceted and vital impact on Te
Raki. Land owned by Maori under the Court system was increasingly fragmented with a
proliferation of subdivisions, succession cases and survey costs. The inability of Te Raki
Maori to gain economic benefit from their interests in Court-titled land left them
vulnerable to the resurgence in Crown purchasing in the area from 1893. Indeed, the
1890s saw the Crown develop new expertise in exploiting Native Land Court processes
to secure Maori land in Te Raki.
4.2. Keeping Land out of the Court: The Slowing of New Title
Determinations By the 1890s, the spread of the Native Land Court into Te Raki had slowed considerably
as resistance by Te Raki Maori to the Crown's tenurial system and purchasing
strengthened. Of the four chronological periods used for this report, the 1890s saw the
least amount of land and blocks titled by the Court. During this decade, title
determinations involving 61 new blocks and 41,427 acres were completed. While this
was not an insubstantial amount of land, it represented a marked decrease compared
with previous periods. Excluding areas titled at an unknown time, only 5 percent of
Maori-owned land in Te Raki in 1865 was passed through the Court in the 1890s. Just
6.4 percent of the blocks established by the Court in Te Raki were created during this
period.

The reluctance of Te Raki Maori to put their land before the Court that had begun in the
1880s was deepening. Indeed, the Court was becoming steadily less popular with Te
Raki Maori the more they knew of it. During its first 15 years, it appeared that the Court
would sweep away all customary title in Te Raki. Between 1865 and 1880, 69.8 percent
of Maori-owned land in the inquiry district, including 581,060 acres in 671 blocks, came
under the Court system. However, the mass land loss of the mid-1870s radically altered
Te Raki Maori attitudes towards the Court and to land sales. In the following two
decades, only 12.5 percent of land owned by Maori in 1865 was titled by the the Court
with 136 new blocks totalling 103,559.73 acres.
This slowdown in new titling meant that, by the turn of the century, Te Raki was one of
the rare areas in New Zealand that still had significant amounts of papatupu or
customary Maori land. At least 147,864 acres, or 17.8 percent of known Maori-owned

The slowdown in the Court's progress was seen in the inquiry district's three largest
sub-regions. Relatively speaking, there was something of a spike in Court activity in the
Bay of Islands sub-region during the 1890s. In this period, it was the sub-region with
the most blocks and most land passing the Court. The Court established 26 new blocks
including 15,906 acres, the most of any sub-region. Nonetheless, the Bay of Islands
continued to be the sub-region in Te Raki with the highest proportion of customary
land. Approximately 45,419 acres, or 27.5 percent, of known customary land in 1865
remained outside the Court system in 1900.
Whangarei, by far the largest of the sub-regions and the area with the most known land
in customary ownership in 1890, saw the most dramatic slowdown in Court action.
During the 1890s, the Court awarded title to 19 mainly small blocks totalling 10,494
acres. This represented just 3 percent of this sub-region's customary land in 1865. This
turning away from the Court meant that, in 1900, Whangarei retained the largest

amount of customary land (at least 51,414 acres) of the five sub-regions. While vast
areas had been titled, 14.7 percent of Maori land in 1865 had been kept out of the Court
system.
The Court's titling in the Hokianga sub-region also continued its downward trend.
Between 1890 and 1899, the Court established just nine new blocks. However, these
few blocks totalled a substantial 13,538 acres. By 1900, the Court had had a massive
impact on all parts of Te Raki, including Hokianga. Customary land in this sub-region
had dwindled to around 17,973 acres, with 82.5 percent of Maori-owned land in 1865
subsequently clothed in Court title.
Perhaps helped by its strong resistance to Crown purchasing during this period, the
Whangaroa sub-region saw little new titling in the 1890s. During the 1890s, the Court
did establish seven new blocks but they encompassed only 1,488 acres. This meant that
only 2.2 percent of Whangaroa’s customary land in 1865 was passed before the Court in
the 1890s. At the turn of the century, Whangaroa Maori retained about 16,912 acres of
customary land, 24.8 percent of the total they are known to have possessed in 1865
before the Court was introduced into Te Raki.
Mahurangi remained an outlier among the sub-regions. No customary land was titled
during this period because nearly all the Maori-owned land in the area had already been
titled and purchased. More than 95 percent of Maori-owned land in 1865 had gone
before the Court by the beginning of 1900 and fewer than 2,400 acres of customary land
remained.
4.3. Opposition to the Court Opposition by Te Raki Maori to the Court system was a key reason for the downturn in
new title determinations in the 1890s. This hostility, which was widespread in the
1880s, grew during this decade as the Court was linked to another wave of Crown
purchasing in the area. Many Te Raki Maori were critical of the day-to-day effects of
interaction with the Court, including the expense and confusion that had become
endemic to the process. More importantly still, they now disapproved of the entire
184
Court system and saw it as an intrinsic part of the land loss, poverty, and
disempowerment that afflicted them.
As Nicholas Bayley writes, by the 1890s, even some Crown officials were acknowledging
that participation in the Native Land Court process and land sales had not advanced the
'economic security and development of Te Raki Maori’.425 Despite the easing of the
nationwide depression in the mid-1890s, they remained impoverished and dependent
upon on gum-digging.426
the Native Land Court served to proliferate ineffective individual land title and decimate authority structures in a fundamentally uneconomic manner for Te Raki Maori. A particular legal construction of multiple land ownership refracted practically through increasing fragmentation, fractionation and succession, characterised the new regime.
There was little cultivation or land development and:
427
According to Bayley, perhaps the most serious problem was that the 'Native Land Court
regime precluded Maori from engaging with the emerging opportunities; opening up for
pastoral farming’.428
Throughout the decade, there were repeated calls by Te Raki Maori for the Court to be
abolished and komiti and runanga empowered to deal with land titling and
administration matters. This was the overwhelming view presented to the 1891 Rees-
Carroll Commission that was established by the Government to inquire into the
workings of the Native Land Acts. Te Raki Maori complained that the Court had
distorted their title and caused land loss, with Mary Tautari of Hokianga singling out as
an egregious example the awards in the 1870s to individuals who had received advance
payments from the Crown.429 At Kawakawa, Wiremu Pomare told the commission that
the 'whole of the Nga Puhi people condemn the Native Land Court’.430
425 Bayley, E41, p 96
At Waimate, Hone
Heke Ngapua (Hoani Ngapua Tuhirangi) expressed the 'consensus' view:
426 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1256-1274; Bayley, E41, p 85 427 Bayley, E41, pp 86-87 428 Bayley, E41, p 87 429 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1181-1182 430 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1180
185
that there should be native Committees to settle the trouble between the people, and the chiefs of Ngapuhi have decided that should be the means of settling the disputes of all sorts.431
The Rees-Carroll Commission reported that, during their inquiries throughout the North
Island:
The unanimity of the Natives was not merely negative and condemnatory of the past and present – it was also displayed in their wishes for the future. Everywhere they gave substantially the same evidence as to the desire of the tribes regarding the future management of their land. Titles they believe can be found and determined, boundaries can be settled, and lists of owners prepared, by the Maoris themselves, leaving only a few disputed cases to be determined by the Court.432
In 1900, Hone Heke Ngapua, who was the Northern Maori Member of Parliament,
wearily remarked on the many fruitless petitions sent to Parliament over the years by
his constituents who had a 'very strong objection to the Court' for its 'distortion of
Native Customs' and its 'enormous expense’.433
Armstrong and Subasic discuss how anti-Court sentiment in Te Raki was reflected
through involvement in the Kotahitanga movement, which advocated a 'system of dual
authority in New Zealand' and, most immediately, the abolition of the Native Land
Court.434
Cease to sell or lease the land. Neither pass it through the Court, subdivide, nor define individual shares from the commencement to the present. If you will be brave and patient for one year then at last will you reap some reward, insomuch as the bad laws enacted by the present Government for the native people will fail.
Kotahitanga-inspired boycotts of the Court were carried out in Te Raki and
throughout the North Island. In 1895, its representatives issued a call to all Maori:
435
In the 1890s, Te Raki Maori were able to keep most, although not all, of their remaining
customary land out of the Court system. In 1891, a scheduled sitting was abandoned
when claimants refused to attend due to the distance they had to travel and because
431 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1185 432 Bayley, E41, p 86 433 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1162 434 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 96 435 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1285
186
they were 'thoroughly sick of the whole business in connection with these Courts’.436
Resident magistrate (and sometimes Native Land Court judge and Crown purchasing
agent) James Clendon reported that virtually all the cases gazetted to be heard by the
Court at Kawakawa in April 1895 had been withdrawn or adjourned as the 'result of
Maori political agitation’.437 Few blocks of any size came before the Court at Whangarei
in 1900 because the 'old chiefs' objected to it 'being brought under European law’.438
Throughout the inquiry district, non-Government-sanctioned komiti, including the
Committee of the Treaty of Waitangi, continued to adjudicate on land and other
issues.439
Even after the death of Maihi Paraone Kawiti in 1889, the Native Land Court remained
shut out of the Rohe Potae established around Motatau. The exact size of the Rohe Potae
is not clear, but it included what became the Motatau 1-5 blocks, estimated at 84,425
acres and, it would seem, the Kaikou blocks, at over 18,400 acres.440
Moreover, much of
the land surrounding the Rohe Potae also remained in customary tenure, rendering this
the strong point of anti-Court activity within Te Raki.
In 1891, Maihi's successor, Hoterene Paraone Kawiti, gave evidence to the Rees-Carroll
Commission about the 'covenant' of the Rohe Potae that prohibited the Court, surveys,
and land sales. He produced a book containing agreements about land matters that local
committees had decided upon and commented that 'according to our Native way of
holding land we have no trouble, but with the Native Land Court there is trouble’.441
In February 1893, this 'covenant' was under some threat with talk that some Maori
would seek, with the Crown's support, a survey of Waiomio land. Hoterene wrote to
Native Minister Cadman warning that a 'survey will not be acceptable ... this will never
be agreed to’. Should a survey be commenced against the wishes of the leaders of the
436 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1283-1284 437 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1162 438 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1161 439 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1158-1160, 1162 440 Clayworth, ‘A History of the Motatau Block c.1880-c.1980’, draft, 21 June 2016, p 29 for Motatau estimates and Master Sheet of Blocks within the Inquiry District for Kaikou estimates. 441 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1180-1181
187
Rohe Potae, 'blood will be shed and the blame will be on the Government’.442
The
strength of Maori resistance meant that the Crown made no moves within the 1890s to
push the Court process into the Rohe Potae.
Without the Court system and the threat of land sales, Rohe Potae leaders were able to
carry out innovative attempts to communally develop the area. The local leaders of
Tautoro (the area that would become the Motatau 5 block) relaxed their prohibition on
cattle and sheep farming under pressure from a dynamic new figure, Kaka Porowhini.
Porowhini’s community at Orakau attracted others from outside the area, and his ideas
about communal farming and development were powerful. Sizeable dairy and sheep
herds were established, large areas were communally cleared for grazing, and Kaka
introduced a telephone system and later a diesel-driven milking machine. These new
economic efforts were supplemented by continuing flax and kauri enterprises within
the Rohe Potae, and communally controlled leasing of select areas to Pakeha.443
While anti-Court sentiment seems to have been common throughout Te Raki by the turn
of the century, remaining customary land was clustered in a few areas. By far the largest
was the area we have just discussed, the Rohe Potae and surrounding lands in the Bay of
Islands and Whangarei sub-regions. It included lands near Kawakawa and Kaikohe
running southwards and suggests that coordinated, geographically centred resistance to
the Court and land sales could make an impact, especially when it benefitted from
powerful leadership and a collective ideology.
Lands less attractive to Crown and Pakeha purchasers seem more likely to have stayed
out of the Court system. By 1900, there was a cluster of customary land around the
shores of Hokianga Harbour and in the south-eastern Bay of Islands down into
Whangaruru. This included what became the Whangaruru-Whakaturia block (1,340
acres), part of a small peninsula enclosing Whangaruru Harbour. Terry Hearn
characterises this area as rugged, isolated, and mainly forested, and it attracted little

188
Crown purchasing pressure in the nineteenth century.444 Likewise, Anthony Patete's
report on Matauri suggests that the area of Whangaroa that remained under customary
tenure at 1900 had been largely ignored by Crown purchasing agents and indeed by
Crown officials in general.445

4.4. The Changing Activities of the Court During the 1890s, efforts by Te Raki Maori to shun the Native Land Court strengthened
and the amount of new land brought before the Court for titling dropped. Nevertheless,
the Court remained a critical element in Maori life and land. Crown purchasing during
this period generated an enormous amount of Court activity in terms of titling,
partitioning, surveying, and other matters. But the Court process during the 1890s also
had a far-reaching impact upon Te Raki land that the Crown did not acquire.
In earlier periods, the Court's predominant role in Te Raki was to award vast areas of
previously customary land to individual Maori. By the 1890s, the Court system had
largely, although not completely, supplanted customary title in the region. Communal
land use and life was gradually undermined as Maori-owned land under the Court
system was subdivided into ever smaller and less economically viable pieces.
The Court system was affecting not just land but a new generation of Maori. By the
1890s, many of those awarded interests in land in earlier periods had died and the
Court was awarding their interests to successors. The growth in partitions and
successions was a major reason why the Court was busier than ever in the 1890s in
terms of the amount of cases it was hearing. Specific statistics for Te Raki are not
available but the tables and graphs below indicate that the Court between 1865 and
1874 heard 422 separate cases in Te Taitokerau as a whole. In the 1890s, it heard 693.
Many of these new cases were small-scale and, considered in isolation, unremarkable.
But collectively, they further fragmented and individualised Maori land and
strengthened the hold of the Court system. The table and graph below highlight the
change in the nature of Court activities. Between 1865 and 1874, 93.4 percent of Court
cases in Te Taitokerau revolved around determining title. By the 1890s, just 22.7
percent of Court cases were title determinations. Partitions and succession issues, once
unusual, become commonplace with 266 separate cases recorded in the 1890s. They
constituted 38.4 percent of all Court cases in Te Taitokerau while other non-title
determination matters, often involving surveying matters, were the focus of a further 39
percent of cases.

Even newly-titled blocks were quickly sucked into a morass of additional Court activity
including partition hearings, successions cases, and survey debts. In 1894, Eru Nehua
led Ngati Hau's application for title over the approximately 5,700-acre Rotomate block
in the Whangarei sub-region. While they were awarded much of the block, counter-
claimants connected with Ngati Manu were awarded around 1,500 acres. This
prompted an appeal and a rehearing in October 1895, which largely upheld the original
decision. At this time, the block was subdivided into seven subdivisions with at least
182 different owners. This was only the beginning of the fragmentation of the block,

with numerous subdivisions created in the following years and, over time, sold to
private purchasers.446
The Native Land Court lacked the personnel and resources to efficiently administer this
complex, sometimes chaotic system. Armstrong and Subasic discuss the frustration and
protests of Te Raki Maori at the delays, postponements, and socioeconomic disruption
that were a feature of Court hearings during this period. The appointment of resident
magistrates to act as Native Land Court 'recorders' over non-contested partition and
succession cases relieved but did not remove these problems.447

The slowdown in titling limited, but did not prevent, a new wave of Crown purchasing
in Te Raki in the 1890s. During this decade, the Crown purchased 81,473.5 acres of Te
Raki land. While not at the same level as the land rush that began in Te Raki in 1875, it
still constituted a significant blow to the tribal estate and economic future of Te Raki
Maori. By the 1890s, they had already lost much of their land. Indeed, Armstrong and
Subasic argue that, as early as 1876, Maori in the inquiry region were dangerously short
of land and that every acre lost after that, including the 81,473.5 acres in the 1890s,
damaged their ability to engage with 'the new settler economy from a position of
equality.’448 The land losses of the 1890s only worsened the deepening poverty and
economic marginalisation afflicting Te Raki Maori.449

The Native Land Court system played a vital part in this land loss albeit in a new and
different way from the 1870s. The essential link between the Court and Maori land loss
remained the same. The Court issued legal title to individual Maori who could then sell
their interests without reference to the wider community. What changed was the
number of Maori in Te Raki being awarded interests in a given block and then selling
those interests. In the mid-1870s, blocks were awarded on average to less than eight
individual Maori. The number was lower still for those blocks purchased by the Crown.
As discussed, the Crown frequently purchased large areas awarded to a single or a
handful of owners. But by the 1890s, the Court was awarding blocks in Te Raki to more
than 55 owners on average. The most important purchases during this period involved

the Crown gradually acquiring the interests of hundreds of individual owners. Thus, a
new form of Court-inspired individualisation and land sales had taken hold. Native Land
Court title had created large groups of individual owners who lacked the ability to act as
a corporate whole.450 These individuals, as a rule, did not control their own distinct,
viable piece of land. They were tenants in common, stuck in what Alan Ward terms the
'pseudo-individualisation' of the Court system in which individuals could sell but not
individually utilise their interests.451
They often saw little way of deriving benefit from
their land except through selling their interests. The 1890s saw the Crown's purchasing
agents in Te Raki gradually and cumulatively acquiring numerous individual shares of
land. The Crown would then apply for the Court to define and 'cut out' these interests.
By this method, the Crown's acquisition of undivided interests turned into large, very
real additions to the Crown's estate.
The change in the number of title awardees/land-sellers was part of a broader shift in
the interaction between Crown purchasing and the Court process. It could be said that,
in the mid-1870s, Crown purchasing agents set the agenda and the Court followed.
Crown purchasing of the land often began before title determination, and influenced,
implicitly or explicitly, whom the block was awarded to. In many cases pre-hearing
negations between purchasing agents and a few would-be sellers, often accompanied by
advance payments, resulted in Court hearings in which large areas in Te Raki were
awarded to a single or a small number of individuals who quickly completed the sale of
land to the Crown.
The Crown's purchasing technique had changed by the 1890s, and so had its
relationship with the Court. However, the ultimate result of that interaction – Te Raki
Maori losing large areas of land without their clear communal approval – remained the
same. In the 1890s, the titling process came first and Crown purchasing agents followed
afterwards. Blocks purchased in this period had not been subject to pre-title
arrangements and advance payments. The title hearings were not just an attempt to
facilitate pre-arranged land sales. Instead, large numbers of Maori received title to land

195
after often adversarial Court battles. While Crown agents already had their eye on some
of these blocks, they were content to wait until the titling process was complete before
they moved to purchase.
This new relationship between Crown purchasing and the Court was part of what Alan
Ward described as a 'streamlined and efficient set of procedures that proved highly
effective in alienating Maori land’. Most crucially, the Crown was empowered to
purchase undivided shares in Maori land and then apply to the Court to partition out its
share of the block. Used in much of the North Island in the 1880s, these new purchasing
techniques took hold in Te Raki in the 1890s. They were at the heart of the Liberal
Government's purchasing programme of that decade, which saw an estimated
2,729,000 acres of Maori land purchased nationwide by the Crown, and another
423,184 acres sold or leased to Europeans. Ward estimates that 28 percent of remaining
Maori land nationwide was alienated in the 1890s.452
Crown purchasing in Te Raki, as elsewhere, was motivated by a desire to transfer Maori
land, often considered unoccupied and unproductive, to Pakeha farmers and settlers.453
It would seem that the Crown was also keen to break down the few sizeable clusters of
customary land remaining in Te Raki, especially in the Whangarei sub-region. It
targeted some lands, such as Omaunu No. 2 and Parahirahi for their mineral resources.
As shown below, the dominant issue for Crown officials was often how to obtain
suitable lands at low prices. They exhibited less obvious concern about what these
purchases would mean for Te Raki Maori.
The Crown achieved most, although not all, of its purchasing goals during this period.
Most acquisitions were the result of the gradual, systematic acquisition of individual
interests. On occasion, the Crown was able to pick off each individual share and acquire
the entire block. More commonly, at least some of the owners would refuse to sell. The
Crown would then return to the Court and have its interests and the interests of the
non-sellers partitioned into defined areas. 452 Ward, National Overview, vol 2, pp 245-246; Paul Husbands and James Stuart Mitchell, 'The Native Land Court, Land Titles and Crown Land Purchasing in the Rohe Potae district, 1866–1907', Waitangi Tribunal, 2011, Wai 898, A79, p 231 453 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1144-1147
196
This purchasing and partitioning process led to substantial land acquisition by the
Crown, but left non-sellers in an invidious position. The portions awarded to them by
the Court were often neither economically viable nor, it would seem, advantageously
located. Non-sellers frequently had to pay costs for the survey of their subdivisions,
even if the partition process had been started by the Crown or by other Maori owners.
Nor did they, as a rule, come out with their own individual plot. Instead, they continued
to be joint tenants in common with other Maori albeit over ever-diminishing areas.
Moreover, the partitioning process made the remaining Maori-owned land less rather
than more secure. Crown purchasers would often return to acquire the areas awarded
to non-sellers or purchase some of their interests, thus setting off another round in the
cycle of Crown-initiated partitions, land fragmentation, and sales. The largest Crown
purchase in Te Raki in this decade was not in fact a single purchase at all. Barry Rigby
catalogues 29 separate Crown purchases between 1895 and 1899 within the Whatitiri
block in the Whangarei sub-region. As we shall see, this involved the Court carrying out
multiple partitions of seller and non-seller interests. The end result of this enormously
complex and literally divisive process was that the Crown acquired at least 15,670 acres
of the 21,362-acre block. While Maori retained around a quarter of the land, their
holdings were scattered into numerous small, isolated parcels hemmed in by Crown-
owned land.454
The overwhelming power of the Crown appears to have made it difficult for individual
Maori to protect their interests in these partition hearings. As discussed later in this
chapter, by August 1897, the Crown had purchased 53 of the 54 shares in Omaunu No. 2
(2,321 acres). Only one non-seller stood against the Crown. The Crown viewed her
refusal to sell as unreasonable and exhibited little concern for her future. Purchase
agent J S Clendon was instructed by his superiors to attend the Court and ensure that
the dissentient owner was not awarded land in a location that would hinder the Crown's
ambitions for the block. As Clendon subsequently reported, he was able to achieve this
quite satisfactorily.455

The case of Parahirahi suggests some of the dangers to Te Raki Maori of these partition
hearings and raises questions about whether the Court was sufficiently rigorous in
protecting Maori interests. Crown agents had unsuccessfully tried to purchase all the
shares in this block out of fear that non-sellers could be awarded areas incorporating
and near the Ngawha thermal springs that were sacred to Ngapuhi and much desired by
the Crown. They need not have worried. On 15 October 1894, a partition hearing to
divide Crown and non-seller interests was adjourned because many of the non-sellers
were too old to travel to the Whangarei courtrooms. The Court agreed to reschedule at
198
Kawakawa but the Crown warned that this hearing and the partition would go ahead
whether the non-sellers were present or not.456
While some non-sellers were indeed present at Kawakawa, the sellers were not. It is
questionable whether they were aware that the sale of their interests and the Court's
partitions could finish their legal connection to the springs. After 'exceptionally difficult'
discussions with the non-sellers, the Crown's representative, Gilbert Mair, was able to
secure an arrangement that satisfied the Crown but which has proved a continuing
source of grievance for Maori with connections to the land and the springs.457
The Court awarded 4,290 acres to the Crown, including nearly all the block's most
valuable parts such as four acres of the five-acre thermal springs area. The non-sellers
were left with land of little economic value, and Mair reported that he had convinced
them not to seek the land most desired by the Crown. The non-sellers’ portions included
land 'utterly unfitted for cultivations in any part’.458 The process had been so pressured
and problematic that the Court awarded to the Crown areas that included Maori kainga
and cultivations.459
The Court process failed to adequately protect the interests of Maori in other ways. No
reserves in Te Raki were issued from Crown purchases during this period.460 The Court
awarded title to many new blocks without alienation restrictions, and these blocks were
subsequently purchased. On the other hand, the earlier alienation restrictions it had
imposed were increasingly ineffective. This was at least partially a result of legislation.
In the late 1880s and 1890s, more than 15 provisions were enacted making it generally
easier to have alienation restrictions on Maori land removed or varied.461

199
remove or declare void, without the consent of the Maori owners, any restrictions for
the purpose of sale to the Crown.462
But during this period the Court seemed, at times, indifferent to the issue of whether the
Crown was attempting to acquire reserved or restricted land. For instance, in October
1896 the Court awarded the Crown 477 acres of Horahora No. 2 in the Whangarei sub-
region. Ann Beaglehole was unable to find evidence on why the alienation restrictions
on this block were overridden or of any Court inquiry into the matter.463 The Court in
1885 declared Parahirahi A and Parahirahi C, including areas encompassing the taonga
of the Ngawha thermal springs, subject to alienation restrictions. Despite this, the
Crown shortly afterwards began purchasing shares in the lands. Both Donald Loveridge
and Rose Daamen found no record that the issue of the restrictions was ever raised by
the Court in the following eight and a half years of Crown purchasing. Indeed, the Court,
without comment, witnessed Crown payments on the restricted land. In 1894, the Court
awarded the Crown interests in Parahirahi, including land restricted in 1885. In 1945, a
Native Land Court inquiry rejected complaints by Maori with connections to Parahirahi
about this issue on the grounds that it was standard practice in the 1890s for restricted
land to be acquired by the Crown without the restrictions being legally lifted. Loveridge
concurred that this was indeed a common practice.464
The Crown's land acquisition, and its new relationship with the Court, was shaped by a
raft of legislation. The Native Land Court Act 1886 made it legal again for the Crown to
purchase individual, undefined shares.465 The Crown's ability to apply to the Court to
partition out the interests it had purchased and determine them in a proportionate area
was re-established and extended by the Native Land Court Act 1886 Amendment Act
1888 and the Native Land Court Act 1894.466
462 Husbands and Mitchell, Wai 898, A79, pp 231-232
The latter Act also essentially re-
established Crown pre-emption. Pre-emption allowed the Crown to purchase land for
lower prices and restricted Maori ability to utilise the land, most notably by banning
leasing to Europeans – which many Te Raki Maori leaders considered was the only form
463 Beaglehole, 'Horahora Block History', June 2016 draft, pp 51, 56, 59 464 Loveridge, E5, pp 118-119, 121-122; Daamen, E1, pp 22, 32, 36, 44, 47. This issue is discussed in Waitangi Tribunal, The Ngawha Geothermal Resource 1993. 465 Ward, National Overview, vol 2, p 247 466 Williams, Te Kooti Tango Whenua, Appendix 7
200
of land alienation that should be allowed.467 The resumption of pre-emption had
another significant effect on Te Raki and the Court process. As private purchasers were
locked out of the market, the Crown had less incentive to issue advance payments
before title determination.468
Crown purchase agents proved highly skilled in taking advantage of the legislation and
the Court system – and of Maori economic needs and poverty – to acquire land. When
purchasing was about to begin, they would often contact the Court for lists of owners
and other useful information.469
The Survey Department also provided advice on how
much money should be offered for a block. The Crown generally set a maximum price
for a block based on a rate calculated in shillings per acre. Court lists were used to
ascertain what each owner's shares represented in terms of acreage and therefore how
much they should be offered. It is worth reiterating that the Crown generally purchased
undivided shares in land rather than distinct pieces of land. The Court had sometimes
defined the relative interests of the owners (i.e., what percentage of the land their
shares equated to) but it seems that, more commonly, relative interests were not
defined, and the Crown purchasers acted on the basis that the owners held equal shares.
The Crown purchase agents used the gathered information and local knowledge to
identify specific owners who they would target first, in an attempt to create a snowball
effect of individuals selling their interests. A common tactic was to deal initially with
chiefs and prominent figures in the Court process, both to buy their shares and to enlist
them to encourage other owners to do the same. This could have dramatic effects. As
discussed below, the Crown's purchase of Omaunu No. 2 block appeared to be
floundering until it gained the signature of the leading owner, Taniora Arapata.
It would appear that the Crown purchasing process during this period deepened
divisions between chief and community and encouraged rangatira to ignore their
traditional responsibilities. In order to enlist their support, the Crown paid some
leading owners higher prices for their shares and provided them with expenses and

free ranging entrepreneur, acting as middle man between the Land Purchase Office and his co-owners while at the same time taking a commission for his trouble.
The Tribunal has remarked, for instance, that during the Parahirahi
purchase the Te Uriohua chief Hirini Taiwhanga was a:
471
The desire of Crown purchasers to 'break the ice' with initial purchases from leaders
was especially strong in blocks with hundreds of owners. Te Awaroa No. 1 and Te
Awaroa No. 2 in the Hokianga sub-region had at least 227 owners. Crown purchase
agent C F Maxwell focused his initial efforts around Wiremu and Remi Te Tai,
'influential' owners whose example he believed would induce others to sell.472
Some of those chiefs who played a leading role in encouraging sales were personally in
need of money. The Te Parawhau chief Taurau Te Kukupa encouraged some of the key
Crown purchases and title determinations in the Whangarei district during this period.
Aged and unwell, he told the Crown that he 'had no money for his present support' and
was desperate to sell his considerable land interests and receive as much as money as
possible.473
But chiefs also helped the Crown buy land because they saw no other way to save their
people from starvation. As we shall see, many of the Court hearings and land purchases
in Te Raki during the 1890s centred on the poverty-ridden Mangakahia area. In
February 1895, Komene Matiu Te Aranui and Hore Mokena Wharepapa urged the
Crown to quickly buy the Tarakiekie and Oue No. 2 blocks. They wrote:
We have no money and our people have no stores & no food, the winter is coming on and Mangakahia is far from good roads, we do not wish our people to starve, we wish to sell our lands & buy food for them.474
470 Waitangi Tribunal, Ngawha Geothermal Resource Report 1993, pp 40, 45-6; Berghan, A39(f), p 110 when a 'principal owner' offered to sell the Crown the shares of a number of people.

202
The Crown also acquired shares and purchasing momentum by focusing on those who
did not live on the land or had been placed on the title only out of 'aroha'. Absentee
owners were sometimes among the first to sell their shares. Paihia Pukerewa and two
others complained to the Crown in 1892 that it was acquiring shares in Motukaraka
East from those who had been included in the title out of 'a feeling of pity and kindness'
and lacked true connection to the land.475 Successors named by the Court could expect
to be quickly approached by Crown purchasing agents.476
Impoverished or debt-ridden owners frequently approached the Crown offering to sell
their shares. The Crown would accept if it believed the shares to be the start of it
acquiring a worthwhile and sizeable piece of land. However, it generally did not buy just
a few shares as an end in itself, as it saw little economic worth in incurring the survey
and other costs of acquiring small areas.
However, the costs of the Court process bore most heavily on Maori. Te Raki owners
incurred considerable expenses and debt through surveys and attending hearings.
Another issue during this period was the rates that became chargeable on Maori land
once it had been titled. These debts accumulated and contributed to land loss. In 1897,
the 1,028-acre Motukaraka West A block in Hokianga was awarded to 99 Maori. To pay
for survey charges and hearing expenses accrued during this and a related case, the
775-acre Motukaraka West B was set aside to be sold by two trustees, namely the chief
surveyor and a leading owner.477
Survey costs commonly contributed to individuals selling their interests and were
another way in which the Court contributed to the Crown's land purchasing agenda. The
Surveyor General would apply to the Court for survey charging orders to recover
unpaid costs incurred by his department while surveying Maori-owned land. To ensure
these charges were paid, the Court placed survey liens on the land. Under the Native
475 Berghan, A39(d), p 342 476 Berghan, A39(e), p 99 477 Berghan, A39(d), pp 349-350
203
Land Court Acts of 1886 and 1894, accruing interest could be levied interest on unpaid
survey charges.478
Impoverished owners had few ways to pay off these debts apart from selling their rights
in the land. In April 1885, the Native Land Court awarded the Papakauri block (1,012
acres) in the Bay of Islands sub-region to well over 200 individuals. None of the owners
could guarantee payment of the necessary surveys, so the certificate of title was not
issued until 1887. It would seem that the Crown eventually carried out the surveys and
the Court issued a survey charging order and survey lien on the land. The owners,
individually and collectively, proved unable to repay this debt. On a number of
occasions, Papakauri owners approached the Crown requesting to sell their shares so as
to wipe out their part of the survey debt. On 10 July 1895, some owners wrote that they
would take a lower price for their interests so that they could avoid having to pay rates
on the land.479
The Crown repeatedly declined to buy their interests, acting on the Surveyor General's
advice that the Papakauri block was of poor quality and it was not worth the Crown's
time and money to laboriously approach the many owners. However, in 1894, Maori
requested that the Court partition the block. This both deepened Maori debt and
encouraged the Crown to acquire some of the subdivisions. Among the subdivisions
created were two distinct and equal blocks of 251 acres, each owned by just two Maori.
The owners were unable to pay their survey debts and in 1895 offered the Crown these
subdivisions, with the survey costs to be deducted from the price. The Crown, judging
that this would likely be the only way it could gain some advantage or repayment from
the survey debts, and noting that another subdivision in the area was of 'very fair
quality' with owners willing to sell, began attempting to buy parts of Papakauri, offering
two shillings per acre less the survey liens.480
Armstrong and Subasic provide a number of other examples of rates and surveys
contributing to land sales in this period. The Crown was initially uninterested in 478 Husbands and Mitchell, Wai 898, A79, pp 242-243 479 Berghan, A39(f), pp 109-110. The block was divided into two, with each part having more than 100 owners. 480 Berghan, A39(f), pp 108-113; Armstrong and Subasic A12, p 1152
204
acquiring the 3,226-acre Kaurinui No. 3 block. In 1899, a few of the block's 270 owners
approached Maxwell and asked him to reconsider. They were unable to pay the rates on
the block or their portion of the survey debt, which was £87 3s 9d plus interest. Having
judged in the circumstances that the land could be easily and cheaply obtained, Maxwell
was authorised to acquire the land for 2s 6d per acre with the survey lien deducted.481
Similarly, the Crown purchased the 1,106 acre Maraekura block in September 1895 for
£221 after deducting a survey lien of £72.482

4.6. Mangakahia No. 2 and Whatitiri The cases of Mangakahia No. 2 (13,987 acres) and Whatitiri (21,362), two of the largest
Te Raki blocks to be titled during the 1890s, reveal much about the connection between
the Court and Crown purchasing in this period. Despite requests by Te Raki leaders and
prospective land-sellers, the Crown refused to make advance payments or influence the
titling process in these blocks. Certainly, the Crown did encourage Maori to place these
blocks before the Court and, even before the hearings, had resolved to purchase them.
Nonetheless, it maintained a strict neutrality over the issue of which individual Maori
would be awarded the block.
Crown purchasing did not begin until title had been awarded to the blocks. The Crown's
purchasing agents then sought to acquire the interests of the hundreds of individual
owners. Their task was smoothed by the owners' poverty, Court-related debts, and
inability to reap economic benefit from these lands. Nonetheless, some owners refused
to sell. The Crown therefore returned, repeatedly in the case of Whatitiri, to the Court to
have its interests in the blocks defined and awarded. This programme of piecemeal
purchase and partition led to the Crown acquiring the vast majority of Mangakahia No. 2
and Whatitiri. Indeed, these were the Crown's two major purchases in Te Raki during
the 1890s.
The Court's 'pseudo- individualisation' of Maori title created the framework that Crown
purchasing agents so ably exploited.483
Moreover, Crown-initiated partitions created
small areas of non-sellers’ land that were economically unviable and surrounded by
Crown-owned areas. This resulted in further partitions and purchases that continued
throughout the twentieth century, with the Court dividing the remnants of Maori-owned
land in Mangakahia No. 2 and Whatitiri into ever-smaller pieces. These were often
acquired by individual Pakeha.
As outlined in chapter two, the broader Mangakahia region had been transformed by
large-scale title determinations and land sales during the mid-1870s. Nevertheless, a
483 Ward, National Overview, vol 1, p 9
207
few sizeable areas of customary land remained and by the 1890s antipathy towards the
Court and land sales was powerful.
This resistance came under great stress due to Maori poverty and the Crown's
purchasing push. In the early 1890s, Te Parawhau chief Taurau Kukupa approached the
Crown about selling large areas of land including what would become Mangakahia No. 2
and Whatitiri. This was a provocative move. There had long been sometimes violent
tribal and chiefly disputes over rights in the Mangakahia area, while Whatitiri in the
Poroti area to the east was also vigorously contested and contained important taonga
including the Whatitiri maunga and the Poroti Springs.
The Crown certainly wanted to see these lands titled and sold. So did the aged Taurau
who was in urgent need of money and had become intertwined with an ambitious land
agent from Whangarei, A R Cooke. Senior Crown officials in the early 1890s were
bemoaning the reluctance of Maori in the area to pass their land before the Court and to
enter into land sales. Cooke, to the appreciation of Native Minister Alfred Cadman, was
promising that he could arrange the purchase of interests in a number of large blocks,
including what would become Mangakahia No. 2 and Whatitiri, to be titled and sold.484
This, and the encouragement of the Crown, appears to have pushed some of Taurau's
rivals towards the Court. In 1893 and 1894, Premier Richard Seddon travelled through
the broader region explaining the Government's desire to settle Pakeha on 'barren and
untitled' Maori land.485
the time has come when we should no longer permit whole tracts of country to remain in a state of nature – unoccupied by yourself or by Europeans – simply lying in a state of waste. It is no good to the Natives. Although wealthy in land ... [you] are practically poor, living in a state of destitution.
He told Poroti hapu that land titling and sales would see their
poverty replaced by advancement and that:

208
By mid-1894, the Whatitiri and Mangakahia No. 2 blocks were being surveyed, and
often fractious preparations for Court hearings were under way. Quite clearly, at least
some of the main protagonists were seeking title in order to sell land. They repeatedly
asked for advance payments and Taurau promised that if he (and presumably his
supporters) were awarded the blocks, they would sell them immediately to the
Crown.487 In September 1894, chiefs of the Uriohua hapu requested an advance of £200
from the Crown on the 'surplus portion' of the Whatitiri block.488
The response from Native Purchase Department Under-Secretary Sheridan was
emphatic. The Crown would buy the blocks if the price was right, but it would not begin
negotiations until after the Native Land Court had ascertained title.489 Sheridan had
been advised by Surveyor General Percy Smith that the blocks contained some good
quality land although ownership had long been disputed and title was likely to be
contested. Sheridan therefore instructed his agents to be ready to negotiate as soon as
title was complete but not to offer advance payments, which would be ‘contrary to law
and would be regarded by the parties not participating in the advance as a want of
impartiality on the part of the Government.’490
Sheridan considered advance payments to be not only improper but also ineffective and
wasteful. He feared that the Government would lose large sums if it made advance
payments to Maori who, after Court titling, were not in a legal position to sell the land.
He stated that advance payments had lost the Crown much money in the past and had
therefore not been a feature of its purchasing policy since the late 1870s.491
The Crown
had instead developed, in Sheridan's view, a more effective way to acquire land, by
waiting until the Court issued title and then acquiring it.
The Crown therefore pursued a non-partisan stance as the hearings drew closer. Senior
Government ministers sought a 'neutral' ground for the Whatitiri hearings amid fears

209
that it might boil over into conflict.492 In January 1895, Taurau and others appealed for
Sheridan to approach the Court and recommend that Mangakahia No. 2 be granted to
them.493
Such an appeal may have been considered in the mid-1870s but there is
nothing to suggest that Sheridan entertained the idea in the 1890s.
Sheridan's conclusion that the Crown could acquire large amounts of land without
issuing advance payments or become intertwined in the titling process was borne out
by subsequent events. Around July 1895, the Court awarded Mangakahia 2A (5,000
acres) to 150 owners and Mangakahia 2B (8,987 acres) to 58 owners.494 Berghan's
block narrative does not provide much detail about the Court hearings but reveals that
the Crown, after title was issued, moved immediately and smoothly towards acquiring
individual interests. We have already seen that the hunger and poverty afflicting
Mangakahia at this time was leading to desperate efforts to sell land to the Crown. By
the winter of 1896, the school teacher at Oruoru was reporting that the 'unfortunate
people are actually starving for want of food!'495 Owners seem to have sold their
interests both to buy food and also to pay off their survey debts, which the Crown
carefully calculated and subtracted from the purchase price.496
By July 1896, all but 33 of the 208 owners of Mangakahia 2A and 2B had sold their
interests to the Crown. The pressure on the rest to sell was increased when the Crown
took action to stop non-sellers from generating income from the block though cutting
down timber. However, the non-sellers remained defiant and the Crown applied for the
Court to partition out its share of Mangakahia 2.497
In October 1896, the Court awarded the Crown Mangakahia 2A1 (4,225 acres) and
Mangakahia 2B1 (7,290 acres). In total these were 11,515 acres of the original 13,987-
acre block. The 11 owners of Mangakahia 2B who declined to sell were awarded

Mangakahia 2B2 (1,696 acres). The interests of the 22 non-sellers in Mangakahia 2A
were split into four separate areas totalling 772 acres.498
This was certainly not the end of the alienation and fragmentation of Maori-owned land
in Mangakahia No. 2. From 1900 onwards, the rump of the block belonging to Te Raki
Maori was repeatedly divided into ever-diminishing parcels. Many of these fragments
were then purchased or leased by Pakeha. According to Berghan's research, 18
fragments of Mangakahia 2 are currently Maori land. The largest, Mangakahia 2B2No
2F2B, is just over 253 acres. Most are considerably smaller.499
Crown purchasing in the Whatatiri block followed a similar if more complex pattern.
The first step was a lengthy title investigation hearing at Whangarei in November and
December 1894 that caused considerable socioeconomic disruption and saw the Court
award the block to four parties. The largest portions were awarded to those associated
with the case led by Taurau and Pouaka Parore on behalf of Te Parawhau and related
groups, and also to those associated with the 'Te Uriroroi' claim. By February 1895, the
Court had named hundreds of individual owners and defined how many shares they
held in the land.500
Crown purchasing began soon afterwards in a block that a Pakeha observer termed the
'best piece of volcanic land in the north’. Many of its Maori owners were reported to be
in 'poor circumstances' and short of food. Their economic position was further
threatened by the reintroduction of pre-emption, which had stopped their leasing of
parts of the block to Pakeha farmers, and by the costs of travelling to and residing in
Whangarei during the title hearing.501
In such circumstances, the small amount of
money offered by the Crown to each individual owner was no doubt tempting.
Nonetheless, it would take years of Crown attempts, Court hearings, and partitions to
undermine most of the opposition to selling in Whatitiri. By September 1895, the Crown
had been able to acquire the interests of just a few of the many owners. The Court 498 Berghan, A39(d), p 49 499 Berghan, A39(d), pp 50-56 500 Berghan, A39(h), pp 348-349; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1175 501 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1174-1175
211
awarded the Crown three portions totalling 850 acres (plus a small portion Maori
provided for a school.) At the same partition hearing, the Maori-owned land in the block
was subdivided into 17 pieces. Some were relatively large but owned by hundreds of
individuals. For example, Whatitiri No. 13 was 9,588 acres and had 330 owners and
Whatitiri No. 12 was 5,720 acres with 103 owners. Other blocks were smaller and
owned by one or a handful of Maori.502 Three months later, further Court partitioning
and Crown purchasing radically reshaped the larger Maori holdings. In December 1895,
Whatitiri No. 13 was divided into almost 50 pieces, with one awarded to the Crown.
Around the same time, Whatitiri No. 12 was divided into 18 parcels, two of which were
awarded to the Crown.503
This set the stage for the Crown to step up its purchase of individual interests and non-
viable subdivisions. Despite years of endeavour by purchase officer Maxwell, the Crown
was never able to extinguish all Maori interests in Whatitiri. What it did achieve was the
purchase in stages of most of the block and the transformation of the rest beyond any
rational recognition. According to Rigby, 29 separate Crown purchases of Whatitiri
were gazetted between 1895 and 1899.504 Even this does not quite capture how drawn
out the purchasing process was and the absence of any collective decision by Whatitiri's
owners to sell the land. In 1899, Maxwell listed hundreds of separate payments he had
made to Whatitiri owners since 1897. These payments had taken place on 83 separate
dates. On some days, he purchased shares from a number of different owners. On other
occasions, he acquired interests from a single individual. The amounts he paid them
varied between £2 and £250.505
This process of buying up shares was so complex, and the Maori role in it was so
decentralised, that even the experienced Maxwell sometimes made payment errors. In
July 1898, he apologised to his superiors for making a mistake when copying the Court's
lists regarding the owners and their relative interests in Whatitiri No 13J. This had led
Maxwell to pay Eru Hiri just over £34 instead of the £27 he was 'entitled' to.506

212
The multiple purchases led to multiple Court hearings and partitions. Over time, the
Crown was awarded more and more parts of Whatitiri while the diminishing Maori
holdings became fragmented and isolated from each other. By 1899, non-sellers were
complaining that their holdings had been left in small pieces surrounded by Crown-
owned land. As Maxwell acknowledged, Crown purchase and Court awards had left
owners 'hemmed in by Pakehas' and desperate to exchange land so that they could have
coherent areas and kainga where they could live together.507 The Crown delayed
considering their request until the Court had completed partitioning out its interests.
Over five successive days in August 1899, the Court created at least new 55
subdivisions. Of these, 43 were awarded to the Crown, and 12 to Maori.508
By 1899, Crown purchasing in Whatitiri and in Te Raki as a whole was drawing to a halt.
The Court would continue in the twentieth century to further divide the diminishing
Maori holdings in Whatitiri. Fragmentation encouraged further purchasing, although
this was carried out by individual Pakeha rather than by the Crown. Berghan suggests
that today there are 30 separate parcels of remaining Maori land within the original
Whatitiri block, ranging from 124 acres to an acre or less in size.509

Figure 17: The Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui Blocks
214
4.7. Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui The acquisition of the Kauaeranga (3,672 acres) and Ngaturipukunui (462 acres) blocks
were an exception to the general pattern of this period in which the Crown secured Te
Raki land through purchasing the individual interests of large numbers of owners. To
acquire these two blocks, purchase agents took belated advantage of the Court's titling
policy of the mid-1870s.
As discussed in chapter two, the Court in the mid-1870s regularly awarded large areas
of Te Raki land to a single Maori owner who then immediately sold or leased the land.
Many of these single awardees and vendors were prominent chiefs. There is not enough
evidence to say emphatically whether these title awards and subsequent transactions
were collectively supported by all those with customary rights to the land. Nonetheless,
in some cases at least, these chiefs had been selected by other Te Raki Maori as their
representatives or trustees on the title. Te Raki Maori were attempting to transform
individual title under the Court system into something that reflected their communal
and chiefly culture.
Legally, however, these individuals held the status of absolute owners and were entitled
to enter into transactions without the consent or approval of those they represented.
This ability to sell without consulting the wider group gave these chiefs – and, in the
particular cases of Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui, their legal successors –
unparalleled power. It also meant that the personal vulnerabilities and material needs
of a few individuals could lead, immediately or after decades, to the loss of large areas of
Maori-owned land.
On 5 July 1877, the Native Land Court awarded the prominent Te Parawhau-affiliated
chief Te Tirarau Kukupa sole ownership of the Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui (or
Turipukunui) blocks in east Pipiwai. The title determination was uncontested and
quick.510
510 Berghan, A39(c), pp 334-335
Around this time, Te Tirarau was being awarded title to a number of blocks in
the Whangarei sub-region, some of which he immediately sold to the Crown. However,
in this case, the Court hearing was not the prelude to a sale but instead was a way to
215
formalise a pre-arranged timber deal with a Pakeha-owned company. A few days after
receiving title, Te Tirarau signed a 21-year timber lease over Kauaeranga and
Ngaturipukunui. He received the proceeds for the timber lease, some of which, it would
seem, he distributed to others who held (non-legally recognised) rights to the land.
Certainly, some Maori with ties to the blocks considered Te Tirarau their representative
in the timber deal, and supported the title arrangement solely for that reason. They did
not, at least according to later letters and petitions, see Te Tirarau as the sole owner of
the blocks, on which many of them continued to live and cultivate.511
For some years, the leasing and titling arrangement seems to have gone according to
plan. Maori lived on and used the land with Te Tirarau handling the leasing
arrangements. When the chief died, the Court awarded the land to two of his relatives,
Taurau Kukupa and Tito Tirarau. According to subsequent claims, they too were seen by
other Maori as trustees for the timber deal and not as sole owners. They had apparently
been selected by the Te Parawhau and Te Uriroroi hapu to succeed Te Tirarau on the
title.512
But, by the early 1890s, Taurau was old, unwell, and in urgent want of money. The kauri
from the blocks had been largely cut, and the lease, while still technically in place, seems
to have no longer been profitable. Perhaps most fatefully, Taurau was involved with the
land agent A R Cooke, who was frantically trying to sell off as much of 'Taurau's land’ to
the Crown as possible. Neither the chief nor the land agent indicated to the Crown that
Taurau represented others, rather, he was presented as the dominant figure in the area
entitled to sell or make use of the land as he saw fit.
Cooke tried a number of gambits to entice the Crown to buy Kauaeranga and
Ngaturipukunui. He warned that if the Crown did not buy the land immediately, Taurau
would place it and other areas under the control of the Treaty of Waitangi Committee
and therefore out of the reach of the Court and the Crown. Conversely, Cooke promised
that if the Crown would buy these two blocks, and buy them quickly, Taurau would put
511 Berghan, A39(c), see for example p 341 and the letter by Hori Rewi and 65 others. 512 Berghan, A39(c), p 339
216
considerable amounts of other land through the Court – including what would become
the Mangakahia No. 2 and Whatitiri blocks – before selling them to the Crown.513
Taurau and Cooke's constant refrain to the Crown was that they needed to receive the
purchase money for Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui quickly. Cooke warned that
Taurau was unwell. The chief needed to be paid immediately or he would die before he
could survey, gain title to, and sell large areas of valuable land to the Crown. Taurau
stated that he 'had no money for his present support' and was desperate to sell.514
Sheridan, the Under-Secretary of the Native Land Purchase Department, was unmoved
by such considerations. His predominant concern was whether the purchase of
Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui blocks made financial sense for the Crown.
Another problem then emerged that the Crown – and the Court – would need to deal
with before the purchases could be completed. Some Maori lived on and cultivated these
lands and had become aware of the planned purchases. Taurau's grandson, Hori Rewi
and Hiri Te Taka, wrote widely supported petitions and letters to the Crown arguing
that the blocks belonged to the whole tribe. They claimed that the land had been resided
on by their people for eight generations up until the present and that they had no other
areas on which to live. The Court title was solely a way to arrange the timber lease; they
had never agreed that their 'trustees' owned or had the right to sell the land. They
demanded the sale be abandoned and that a new title be created that reflected their
ancestral rights to the land. In September 1893, Hori Rewi and 65 others told the Native
Minister that:
we are grieved on account of our children, the old women and the old men and also because of our sacred places, which are being sold by these Trustees and all our cultivations as well.515
On 3 October 1893, the chairman of Parliament's Native Affairs Committee
recommended that the Crown consider what could be done to assist the petitioners. But
before the inquiry had begun, the Crown took action which effectively undermined any
chance the petitioners had of continuing to live on and maintain control of their land.
513 Berghan, A39(c), p 341 514 Berghan, A39(c), pp 340-341 515 Berghan, A39(c), pp 341-342
217
Officials at this stage were determined to acquire the blocks. They seem to have given
no thought to abandoning the proposed transaction or delaying it until Parliament could
see whether others were entitled to legal rights in the land and a say in its fate. Sheridan
wrote to Cooke and stated that the Crown was willing to buy the blocks for £834, at four
shillings per acre. Half would be paid to Taurau and Tito Tirarau as soon as they agreed
to the sale. The other half of the money would be held until the results of the
Government inquiry into the claims of the wider tribe had been considered. If the
inquiry did indeed suggest that others had rights to the land, the held-over purchase
money would be paid to them.516
But the Crown saw no need to secure their consent
either to the sale or the price.
Although he would have preferred a higher sum and to receive all the payment, Taurau
was nonetheless anxious for cash and agreed to the deal. There was a brief delay while
the Crown, with the Court's help, sorted out two potential impediments to the
arrangement. Tito Tirarau, the other legal owner on the title with Taurau, had died and
no successor had yet been awarded his interests, while the timber company was
demanding compensation from the Crown for buying land that it was leasing. The Court,
however, rejected the timber company's claims. With Sheridan helping to expedite the
process, on around 18 December 1893 the Court appointed Huirua Tito, who was
willing to sell, to the titles.517 On that very day, the Crown purchased Kauaeranga and
Ngaturipukunui from Taurau and Huirua Tito.518 The Crown then wrote to Hori Rewi to
inform him that the blocks had been purchased but that half the proceeds were being
kept in case some of his supporters were entitled to a share.519
Parliament passed the Te Ngaere and Other Blocks Native Claims Adjustment Act 1894,
which required the Native Land Court to inquire whether any people, apart from the
two registered owners, had an equitable claim to Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui. On
29 November 1894, Judge Gudgeon ruled that 32 people were entitled to payment for
516 Berghan, A39(c), pp 339-343 517 Berghan, A39(c), pp 342-345 518 Berghan, A39(c), p 343; Rigby, A56, Appendix A, pp 1-2 519 Berghan, A39(c), p 344
218
each of the two blocks. He produced a schedule of the owners with their respective
shares and the amount of money they were entitled to.520
Hori Rewi made one last, forlorn effort to save at least a part of the blocks for those who
lived and had died on it. On 13 December 1894, he wrote to the Native Minister about
the 'grief of his people' over their land which had been sold by their representatives. He
stated that they had no other land and asked the Native Minister to 'take pity' on them
and at least grant them a reserve of 250 acres that included their settlement and burial
places.521
He seems to have offered to exchange the money awarded them by the Court
for this reserve.
I have seen no evidence that this reserve was granted. Instead, Maxwell, the Crown's
purchase agent, speedily paid out those named by the Court as entitled to a share –
many of whom were in Whangarei and anxious for money.522
It could be said that the
Court had, from 1877 to 1894, done what was expected of it by the Crown and by those
Maori who wished to sell or lease Kauaeranga and Ngaturipukunui. But what it had not
done was protect the rights of others who claimed a connection to these lands. It had
issued absolute title to a single and then two individual owners. And then, in 1893 and
1894, the Court had overseen the Crown's purchase of these lands. It had identified
those who should receive a small share of the proceeds of sales that they had not agreed
to.

Figure 18: The Omaunu No. 2 Block
220
4.8. Omaunu No. 2 The Crown's use of the Court titling system during the 1890s to acquire Maori land met
with significant opposition throughout Te Raki. Maori resistance was especially strong
in the Whangaroa sub-region. In the 1890s, this location saw little new titling and only
one Crown purchase.523
This meant that, at the turn of the century, Whangaroa Maori
retained a higher percentage of their customary land than Maori in any of the other sub-
regions. Nearly a quarter of Maori-owned land in 1865 remained outside the Court
system at 1900.
Nonetheless, Maori-owned land in Whangaroa that had been titled by the Court came
under pressure from Crown purchasing in the 1890s. The acquisition of virtually all of
the Omaunu No. 2 block is a telling case study of how the Crown could exploit its power
– and the individualisation of Maori land ownership – to gradually break down
resistance to selling and pay far less for the land than the owners sought.
Crown officials were well aware that there was considerable antipathy to land sales in
Whangaroa. In 1893, they had responded to the urgings of local settlers and politicians
and investigated buying large areas in the area. However, Maxwell's initial attempts to
acquire Omaunu No. 1 and No. 2, Kaingapipiwai No. 1 and No. 2, Otangaroa, and other
blocks were unsuccessful. In May 1894, he reported that the 'Natives are generally
averse to selling land' to the Crown and that the 'obstructionists' to sales were
influential men. Maxwell believed many would follow their example and purchasing
would be difficult.524
In September of that year he reported that the owners of the above-named blocks
'refused absolutely to sell any land at the prices I was authorised to offer’. One of the
main chiefs in the area, 'Paora Te Uruhau' (possibly Paora Ururoa), told Maxwell in no
uncertain terms that 'he had no land to sell to [the] Government’.525
523 Harris, E32, pp 228-236 discusses the seven small blocks in the Whangaroa sub-region in the 1890s.
Despite the
pressure of survey liens and other debts, Maori rejected the standard price offered by
524 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1150; Berghan, A39(e), p 92 525 Berghan, A39(e), p 92
221
the Crown in this area of 2s 6d per acre as woefully inadequate and considerably less
than what could be obtained if they were permitted to deal with private purchasers.
The Crown purchasing method throughout Te Raki during this period relied in large
part on patience. Crown officials believed that sooner or later some owners would come
forward and sell their shares and the land-buying process would roll on. There was
poverty in the area and Maori had few ways, except through sale, to make use of their
undefined interests. Maxwell was instructed to prepare ownership lists and deeds for
the various blocks and to be ready in case 'any shares are eventually offered’.526
For a year, the Crown made little or no headway in Whangaroa. But reports that a
'valuable copper lode' had been discovered at Omaunu brought the Crown – and the
Court – back into the area with new urgency in late 1894.527
Henceforth, the Crown's
purchasing efforts in Whangaroa would revolve around this block and especially around
Omaunu No. 2, believed to contain valuable metals and minerals.
One of the problems facing the Crown was that Omaunu No. 2 was not yet under the
Court system of individualised ownership. The entire Omaunu block had indeed gone
before the Court in 1885. Half of the block, Omaunu No. 1, was awarded to Hare Hongi
Hika and 33 others. The other half was awarded to Taniora Arapata, Hongi's rival in
many Court cases in the Whangaroa region. Taniora was dissatisfied with the decision
and for the better part of the decade refused to provide ownership lists.528
But the new possibilities and pressures on Omaunu brought Taniora Arapata and
Whangaroa Maori back to the Court. The need for clear legal title over the block seemed
particularly pressing given its sudden economic attractiveness and the fact that Crown
purchase agents and Pakeha entrepreneurs were showing interest in it. On 25 October
1895, the Court awarded Omaunu No. 2 (2,421 acres) to 54 Maori including Taniora. A
rehearing was ordered but the decision was upheld in the Appellate Court.529
526 Berghan, A39(e), p 92 527 Berghan, A39(e), p 93 528 Berghan, A39(e), pp 91, 94; Rigby, A57, chapter 3, for rivalry. 529 Berghan, A39(e) pp 91, 94
222
With title now finalised, the Crown's efforts to acquire Omaunu No. 2 moved into a
higher gear. Many officials believed Omaunu could be a centre of the mining industry,
and the Native Land Purchase Department was under pressure from 'very anxious'
Cabinet ministers to make progress.530 The first move of Maxwell, the Crown purchase
agent, was to contact the Court and find out more about the recent title decisions. He
wrote to each owner offering them 7s 6d per acre for their interests.531 He then sought
the support of Taniora Arapata. As Maxwell put it, Taniora was 'the leading man of the
Hapu interested [and] if he does not agree to sell there is very little chance of others
doing so’.532 However, Taniora Arapata would prove to be a major obstacle to the
Crown's purchase of Omaunu No. 2. The Crown tried hard to attract him, including by
gradually raising the price it offered for the block as a whole, but Taniora for a long
period rejected their offers. He had to repay debts to the Government and would not
consider anything less than £1 per acre for the block as a whole, a price the Crown
considered exorbitant.533
Taniora and other owners were exploring alternative ways to benefit from the block
apart from sale, negotiating with European businessmen and seeking to exploit the
land's resources themselves. Owners unsuccessfully sought loans from the Crown to
develop the land while rumours of a silver and gold find on the block saw prospecting
and excitement among Maori.534
With Maxwell unable to make any headway in his purchasing efforts, James S Clendon
was enlisted to help. Clendon rather symbolised the institutional and personal ties
between Crown purchasing and the Court during this period. He, like C Bush, served as
both a Native Land Court judge or 'recorder' and a Crown purchase agent in the area. At
one point, Judge Clendon was scheduled to adjudicate on which parts of Omaunu No. 2
block the Crown should be awarded, despite having helped to purchase the Crown’s
interests himself. The hearing was adjourned.535
530 Berghan, A39 (e), p 94 531 Berghan, A39 (e), p 95 532 Berghan, A39 (e), p 96 533 Berghan, A39(e), p 95 534 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1153; Berghan, A39(e), p 97 535 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, p 1154; Berghan, A39(e), pp 92, 100
223
Clendon was authorised to offer 10 shillings per acre, half the price that the owners
were demanding. For a considerable time, the Crown was able to buy only a few shares
here or there. In August 1896 it purchased the share of an absentee owner living in
Waikato.536
I do not think it would be politic to do anything of the kind [provide development assistance]. It would be better for them to sell their shares outright.
More Tukariri and five others wrote to the Crown declining to sell their
shares and instead requesting a loan of £120 to improve and utilise the land. The Crown
pointedly refused and resumed efforts to buy their interests. As Maxwell put it:
537
Nonetheless, Maxwell remained sceptical whether Omaunu No. 2 could be acquired in
such a piecemeal manner. Without Taniora's support, it was 'doubtful if much of the
block could be acquired' apart from an 'isolated share or two'.538
However, the Crown's legislative and economic power meant that Maori had few other
options. Sheridan and Maxwell pursued a strategy of attrition, confident that as Maori
economic hopes and 'gold fever' died down, so, eventually, would their resistance to
sale. There were growing signs that Maori were desperate to sell if the Crown would
meet their price. In September 1896, 'Taniora Ropata' (possibly Taniora Arapata) and
44 others petitioned the Government stating that they urgently required money for
their maintenance and support. They would sell the block for £1 an acre to either the
Crown if it offered or private purchasers if they were permitted. The Crown refused on
both counts, but raised its offer to 15 shillings per acre.539 Two more owners sold their
shares while others who had sold earlier at lower prices asked unsuccessfully to get the
full amount.540
At some point between December 1896 and May 1897, the opposition of Whangaroa
Maori to the sale of Omaunu No. 2 did indeed collapse. It is not clear when or exactly
536 Berghan, A39(e), pp 96-97 537 Berghan, A39(e), p 96 538 Berghan, A39(e), p 97 539 In September 1896, Sheridan seemed to indicate that Crown officers could gradually increase their offer to 20 shillings (i.e. £1) per acre 'if necessary'. However, this was apparently not acted on and the purchase agents believed they were contrained to offering no more than 15 shillings per acre. Berghan, A39(e), p 97-99 540 Berghan, A39 (e), pp 97-99; Armstrong and Subasic, A12, pp 1154-1155
224
how this happened. The signature of Taniora Arapata may well have been crucial. He
would later claim that he had agreed after being promised by Clendon a reserve within
the block. Rapi Arapata would likewise argue that the Crown was obligated to reserve
areas in Omaunu No. 2. The Crown's response was that no reserves had been promised
and none would be provided.541
By May 1897, the Crown had acquired the interests of 53 of the 54 owners of Omaunu
No. 2. It had paid them a total of £1,220, roughly half the price that owners had
consistently demanded.542 Only Hemania Pihama (or Pihema) had refused. She
continued to face considerable pressure. The Crown wanted the entire block and
labelled her an 'obstinate' obstructive woman who irrationally but 'absolutely refuses to
sell’. The Crown applied to have the Court partition out its interests but then had the
case withdrawn, hoping to pressure her to sell. She also applied for a partition. That
hearing was adjourned.543
By June 1897, the Crown would wait no longer. Sheridan repeatedly approached the
Native Land Court and asked for it to expedite the partition process. As he explained, the
Government was under 'pressure to throw open the land for mining and [the] Minister
enquires daily’.544
The soonest the Court could sit was August. In the meantime, the
Crown kept trying to buy Pihama's solitary share. She kept refusing.
Clendon represented the Crown at the partition hearing in Whangaroa on 18 August
1897. His role, as Sheridan instructed him, was to make sure that Pihama did not secure
her small portion of land in an awkward location for the Crown. He was advised to reach
an agreement with her out of court and avoid the prospect that she would appeal the
decision and delay the mining of the land. But, said Sheridan, if she continued to be
'unreasonable', the Crown 'would fight it out in the Court' with her.545
541 Berghan, A39(e), pp 103-105 542 Rigby, A56, Appendix A, p 3 543 Berghan, A39(e), pp 99-102 544 Berghan, A39(e), p 102 545 Berghan, A39(e), p 103
225
Clendon did his job and was able to convince the Court – and apparently Pihama – that
her portion should be placed in a 'satisfactory' position for the Crown. But the Crown
had not quite finished with using the Court process to acquire Omaunu No. 2. The deed
of conveyance was forwarded but Sheridan briefly delayed the survey of Pihama's
portion 'in case the old girl should alter her mind about selling’.546 She did not. A single
Maori woman, Hemania Pihama, had managed to keep just over 45 acres of Omaunu No.
2. It would remain in Maori ownership for another 70 years.547
The Crown had secured
the other 2,376 acres.

5. Conclusion Between 1865 and 1900, the Native Land Court irrevocably altered the lives and land of
Maori in Te Paparahi o Te Raki. These were the peak years for Crown purchasing of
Maori land in Te Raki, exceeding even the pre-1865 period. The Court, while not the
only factor in these acquisitions, presided over and helped to facilitate the radical
depletion of the Te Raki Maori tribal estate and the landlessness, or near landlessness,
of many of its communities. Its most important role in this land loss was that it awarded
title to individual Maori who were able to sell their interests without the consent of the
wider community.
While this remained a key factor throughout these years, the impact of the Native Land
Court upon local communities was far from monolithic or unchanging. This report
focuses on four chronological periods, each representing a different stage in the Court's
activities and its interaction with Te Raki Maori.
Between 1865 and 1874, the immediate impact of the Native Land Court on the inquiry
district varied considerably depending on locality. Many Te Raki Maori were initially
interested and to some degree involved in the Crown's new tenurial system. The reason
for this was only too apparent. The Native Land Court was – and would remain – the
only means by which they could gain legally recognised title to their land. By the end of
1874, well over a third of Maori-owned land in the inquiry district had been brought
under the Court system. More strikingly, the Court had awarded title to at least 469
blocks. In no subsequent period would Te Raki Maori seek Crown-derived title over so
many specific pieces of land.
The consequences of this new tenurial system, and especially the fact that individuals
became the absolute, legal owners of land that had previously been communally
controlled, would prove to be vast. During this period, the Court awarded land to only a
very few individuals, even after the 10 owner rule was altered and then abandoned.
Between 1865 and 1874, Native Land Court blocks were awarded to an average of 4.2
owners. Nonetheless, in most parts of Te Raki, this individualisation of Maori land did
not have immediately dramatic effects.
227
An important reason why the Court's initial impact in Te Raki was varied and difficult to
define was that Crown purchasing in the region during this time was focused on a few
specific localities. In most parts of Te Raki, local concerns and issues, rather than
pressure from Crown purchasers, shaped whether Maori sought legal title over their
land or not. Local Maori did seek legal title in order to sell or lease land to Pakeha
settlers and businessmen. Some Maori were also drawn to the Court because they
wanted secure, Crown-recognised title over particular areas that were under dispute or
threat.
However, these early hearings usually involved relatively small, discrete pieces of land.
Local chiefs maintained a degree of influence and control over the Court process and
most Maori-owned land in each sub-region, with the notable exception of Mahurangi
and Gulf Islands, was kept in customary tenure. In the Whangaroa sub-region, it is
estimated that only 23.3 percent of Maori-owned land had been clothed in Court title by
1874. In Hokianga and the Bay of Islands, roughly a third of Maori-owned land was
passed before the Court. Court influence was somewhat higher in the Whangarei sub-
region, due to more extensive Crown purchasing, and by 1874, approximately 40.3
percent of Maori-owned land had been clothed in Court title.
In much of the inquiry district therefore, the introduction of the Native Land Court had a
complex and not initially destructive effect. However, the Court had a clear and
considerable impact on those parts of Te Raki where the threat of landlessness and
pressure from Crown purchasers was most acute. By 1865, the Crown had already
acquired most of the land in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-region. Local leaders
rushed to the Court in the hope of gaining secure legal title over their few remaining
lands.
However, throughout this period and throughout the inquiry district, the Court rarely
imposed alienation restrictions on titled land or closely investigated the consequences
to either the legal owners or wider communities if these lands were sold. In Mahurangi,
it awarded absolute, alienable title to a few individuals who came under sustained and
sometimes unscrupulous pressure from Crown and Pakeha purchasers. Within a few
228
years, virtually all Maori land on the Mahurangi mainland had been sold and local
communities were in state of distress and near landlessness.
The Court during this initial period also had a considerable impact on the Puhipuhi–
Whakapara area that stretched between the Bay of Islands and Whangarei sub-regions.
No other locality saw so much land passed through the Court. The reason for this
heightened Court activity was clear: Crown and private purchasers wanted land and at
least some Maori were keen to sell. Crown purchasing agents paid advances to
individual Maori and assisted them to take the land through the Court, receive title, and
sell the land. The title determinations for these blocks were usually brief and, as in later
periods, the Court proved willing to award large areas to a small handful of individuals
who were seeking to sell land to the Crown. Alienation restrictions were, with a few
small exceptions, not imposed. Within a decade or so of the Court's introduction, a few
Maori in the Puhipuhi–Whakapara area had received or were in the process of receiving
Crown title to more than 128,000 acres. Apart from a few small areas, all this land was
purchased by the Crown.
What happened in Puhipuhi–Whakapara was, at least from the Crown's perspective, an
early and successful trial of the titling and purchasing tactics that would prove
devastatingly effective in Te Raki between 1875 and 1880. These were the key years in
determining the Native Land Court's impact upon Te Raki. During this time, the Court
system cemented its dominance in the area and emerged as a key element in the
Crown's land purchasing programme. It routinely granted title to a few Maori who had
received advance payments from Crown purchasing agents. This pattern of advance
payments, awarding land to those who were already committed to selling it, and then
final sale risked dispossessing Maori by allowing large areas of land to be sold without
communal control or general consent. It also posed real risks to the integrity and
independence of the Court. The Court was tacitly and sometimes explicitly encouraged
to act as an assistant or agent to the Crown's land purchasing department rather than as
an independent judicial body charged with weighty investigative and protective
responsibilities.
229
Between 1875 and 1880, Maori land was titled and then purchased in Te Raki at a
dizzying rate. The Court completed title determinations involving at least 255,850 acres
at an average of more than 42,643 acre a year, more than during any other period. In
1875 alone, it awarded at least 138,044 acres of land to individual Maori. This was by
far the Court's busiest ever year in terms of title determinations. The Court system
spread throughout the inquiry district. By 1880, 69.8 percent of all known customary
Maori land in Te Raki in 1865 had gone before the Court. In all five sub-regions, more
Maori land had been titled by the Court than remained in customary control. In
Whangarei, the largest of the sub-regions, 78.1 of what was customary land in 1865 was
by 1880 under Court title.
Crown purchasing drove this surge in Court activity. Crown purchasers snapped up
much of the Te Raki land that had gone before the Court before 1875 but they also
entered into negotiations over vast areas of untitled land that was neither legally
alienable nor had any legally recognised owners. They offered advance payments to
individuals and assisted them to gain title through the Court so that the transaction
could be legally completed.
The process worked, at least for Crown purchase agents, remarkably well. Most of the
land passed before the Court during these years was in large blocks, sometimes as large
as 20,000 acres that were destined to be sold. On a very few occasions, powerful Maori
opponents to these pre-title arrangements were present at Court and were able to delay
although not necessarily prevent the titling and sale process. But in general during this
period, title investigations were brief and perfunctory. The Court frequently failed to
consider whether other Maori had connections to these lands and were entitled, as the
Native Land Act 1873 seemingly required, to be included in the award.
The result was that within days of the Court's title determination, many of these blocks
were purchased by the Crown. Often the sales were completed within the courtroom
itself. The Crown had found a remarkably 'efficient' way of purchasing Te Raki land
without needing to secure the approval of any but a handful of Maori. In 1875–76, the
Crown purchased 294,735 acres of Te Raki Maori land. Around half of all land
230
purchased by the Crown between 1865 and 1900 was purchased in these two years.548
Much of the purchasing centred around Court hearings into land in Hokianga and
Mangakahia in the Whangarei sub-region. In 1875, at Herd's Point, Hokianga, the Court
awarded 19 blocks containing 65,514 acres to a small number of Maori, most of whom
had already received advance payments. Within days, the Crown had completed the
purchase of these lands. Around this time, almost 80,000 acres of Mangakahia land was
awarded to a single Maori who immediately sold all the land to the Crown.
The Court system during this period did little to protect Te Raki Maori against excessive
or unwanted land alienation. The Court largely ignored its legislative responsibilities to
ensure that Maori retained sufficient reserves and lands, and to investigate and protect
Maori against inequitable transactions. By awarding ownership to a handful of would-
be land sellers, it allowed legislative prohibitions against land alienations to be
routinely circumvented.
Judge F E Maning launched a sustained but unsuccessful campaign against the Court's
willingness to issue title to a few individuals who had received advance payments and
planned to sell the land to the Crown. Maning argued that the Court's legislative,
protective, and investigative responsibilities were being ignored and that the titling
process was being unduly controlled by Crown purchasing agents and Maori land
sellers. He warned that numerous rightful owners were being dispossessed and that this
rushed and unjust title and land purchasing process would inevitably provoke Maori
resistance.
Indeed, by the 1880s, most Te Raki chiefs wanted the entire Court system to be
abolished and replaced by a Maori-controlled titling process. Resistance to the Court
took many forms, including political protest, use of Maori committees and runanga to
adjudicate on land issues, and the establishment of a Rohe Potae covering parts of the
Whangarei and Bay of Islands sub-regions in which use of the Court and land sales were
prohibited. By this time, the Court had, for many Te Raki Maori, become synonymous
with uncontrolled land loss, disempowerment, and poverty. The great majority of the
548 Rigby, A56, pp 3-4
231
land taken before the Court had been purchased by the Crown. The little that remained
was insufficient – and the Court's form of title too disruptive and costly – for Maori
economic development and farming.
This resistance, along with diminishing pressure from Crown purchasers, meant that
Maori increasingly refused to bring their remaining customary land into the Court
system. Between 1881 and 1889, the Court awarded title to an estimated 62,132 acres
of Maori land in Te Raki. This marked downturn from previous periods was especially
apparent in the sub-regions where the Rohe Potae constituted a powerful bulwark
against the Court. New title determinations decreased markedly in the Whangarei sub-
region while in the Bay of Islands, an estimated 27.5 percent of land owned by Maori in
1865 remained under customary control in 1900, the highest proportion of any of the
sub-regions.
Nevertheless, the Court continued to be a factor in continuing Maori land loss during the
1880s. Although far less land was going through the Court – and being sold – the title
investigation process did not become more obviously careful or protective. The Court
continued to rubber-stamp awards for blocks in which sales to the Crown or Pakeha had
been arranged before hearings and where open opposition within the courtroom was
absent.
During this period, the Court contributed to Maori land loss in other ways. The title
determinations for the Puhipuhi block in the Whangarei sub-region and the Hauturu
block in the Mahurangi and Gulf Islands sub-region were protracted and for the Maori
applicants, hugely disruptive. Long and repeated hearings over more than a decade led
to considerable expenses and debt for hapu and leaders, worsened disputes between
the claimants, and encouraged the Crown to purchase the blocks. At times, Court
officials appeared to assist the Crown in these purchases, raising questions about the
independence of the Court. The debts and expenses incurred by Maori would appear to
have contributed to most of Puhipuhi being sold almost immediately after title was
finally issued, and to the drawn-out, highly problematic acquisition by the Crown of
Hauturu at the end of the 1890s.
232
While the Court continued in the 1880s to contribute to Maori land loss in Te Raki, its
processes also impacted on the ability of Maori to utilise and benefit from the areas that
remained in their ownership. As pressure from Crown purchase agents decreased, the
Court began to award blocks in Te Raki to large numbers of individual owners. These
owners possessed undefined interests and were mired in a netherworld without either
effective collective or individual control over land. The blocks were often too small to
economically support the many owners and their dependents. Title overcrowding
worsened due to the Court's succession policy. The interests of intestate owners were
inherited equally by all their children, leading to increasing numbers of owners holding
minuscule interests in blocks.549
The increasing fragmentation of title entrenched the Court's involvement in Maori-
owned land. Over time, owners repeatedly returned to the Court to define and subdivide
their interests into what they hoped would be a more manageable, effective form of
title. This was rarely successful. The interests of the owners were usually too small, and
the Court process too expensive and confused, to create viable individual plots. Indeed,
relatively few individual subdivisions were created. More common was the creation of
many subdivisions too small to be economically viable, owned by multiple individual
owners. These blocks and their often impoverished owners would prove highly
vulnerable when the Crown's purchasing programme resumed in earnest in the 1890s.
The report concludes with a discussion of Court activities in the 1890s and its role in the
resurgence of Crown land purchasing in Te Raki. By this time, Crown agents had
developed a new relationship with the Court and new purchasing tactics. They no
longer attempted, directly or indirectly, to encourage the Court to award land in Te Raki
to a few prospective sellers. Indeed, by this period, blocks were awarded on average to
more than 55 owners.
Crown agents waited patiently for these awards to be completed and then gradually
acquired the individual interests of the often frequently debt-ridden owners. Without
effective communal control over the land or sustainable, defined individual holdings,
549 Alan Ward, National Overview, 3 vols., Waitangi Tribunal Rangahaua Whanui Series (Wellington: GP Publications, 1997), vol 1, p 68; Geiringer, Wai 45, F10, pp 92-93
233
many owners saw little option but to sell. If some Maori refused to sell, the Court would
partition out the interests of the Crown and the non-sellers. These initial subdivisions
were often a prelude for further rounds of partitioning and purchasing as Maori land
holdings further shrunk and fragmented. The Court's failure to rigorously carry out its
protective responsibilities continued during this period, and it would seem that even
land officially restricted from alienation was commonly purchased by the Crown.
By 1900, the Native Land Court had awarded title to at least 684,600 acres of Te Raki
Maori land. Excluding land titled at an unknown period, perhaps 82.3 percent of all
Maori-owned land in Te Raki in 1865 had come under the Court system. This had
contributed to massive land alienation. During the first 35 years of the Court regime, the
Crown purchased an estimated 588,707 acres. In other words, around 86 percent of
Maori-owned land in Te Raki titled by the Native Land Court had been purchased by the
Crown.550 Only 5,578 acres of reserves had been issued, less than one percent of the
land purchased by the Crown.551
Titled land remaining in Maori ownership was
increasingly fragmented into small, chaotically tenured, and uneconomic holdings as the
Court's subdivision and succession activities took effect. These blocks would continue to
be divided and alienated in the coming years.
Nonetheless, the Court's influence over Te Raki Maori land was neither total nor
unchallenged. During the 1890s, Maori opposition to the Court in Te Raki had if
anything strengthened. They attempted, often in association with the Kotahitanga
movement, to boycott the Court and have it replaced, while non-Government sanctioned
native committees continued to operate in the area. The amount of new title
determinations continued to drop.
Of the four chronological periods used for this report, the 1890s saw the least amount of
land and blocks titled by the Court. During this decade, title determinations involving 61
new blocks and 41,427 acres were completed. Only 5 percent of Maori-owned land in Te
Raki in 1865 was passed through the Court in the 1890s. Just 6.4 percent of the blocks 550 Rigby, A56, pp 2-3 for an estimate of Crown purchases between 1866 and 1900. It should be kept in mind that the percentage of titled land purchased by the Crown does not factor in the estimated 103,269 acres titled at an unknown time. 551 Rigby, A46, pp 2-3
234
established by the Court in Te Raki were created during this period. In part, this
slowdown in new titling was because so much land had already gone before the Court.
There were no new title determinations involving Mahurangi and the Gulf Islands in the
1890s because virtually all Maori-owned land in that sub-region had previously been
titled and purchased.
Nonetheless, it is apparent that the Court became steadily less popular with Te Raki
Maori the more they knew of it. During its first 15 years, it appeared that the Court
would sweep away all customary title in Te Raki. Between 1865 and 1880, 69.8 percent
of Maori-owned land in the inquiry district, including 581,060 acres in 671 blocks, came
under the Court system. But title determinations declined as Maori resistance to the
Court and to land purchasing grew. From 1881 to 1900, only 12.5 percent of land
owned by Maori in 1865 was titled by the Court including 136 new blocks totalling
103,559.73 acres.
Te Raki Maori resistance to the Court had, against considerable odds, achieved some
significant victories. An estimated 17.8 percent of Maori-owned land in the region in
1865 remained under customary tenure at the turn of the twentieth century.552 This
made Te Raki in 1900 one of the few parts of New Zealand that retained significant
amounts of customary, or papatupu, land.553
Much of this customary land centred
around the Rohe Potae established in Motatau. For about 25 years, Maihi Paraone
Kawiti's prohibition on Court hearings and land sales within this area had held firm.
There were also clusters of customary land around the Hokianga Harbour, in the south-
eastern Bay of Islands, and in Whangaroa.
Moreover, Maori protest – and the Crown's fear that landless Maori could become a
'burden on the State' – had by this time forced the Liberal Government to ease pressure
on Maori to sell their remaining lands. The Maori Lands Administration Act 1900 was, in
Terry Hearn's words, a 'radical departure in Maori land-policy and law' that aimed to
552 See chapter 1 553 Hamer and Paul Meredith, 2016, A62, p 4. They state that Te Tai Tokerau more generally contained a large proportion of the remaining papatupu or customary land.
235
‘restore to Maori some control over the management and alienation of their lands'.554 It
allowed Maori owners of customary land to elect their own papatupu block committees
to adjudicate on title. Local Maori land councils were empowered to act on their
recommendations and to issue binding legal title albeit subject to rights of appeal.555
The impact (and demise) of this new system is beyond the parameters of this report.
What can be said is that, by 1900, Te Raki Maori continued to demand a genuine
alternative to the Native Land Court.

WAITANGI TRIBUNAL
CONCERNING the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975
AND the Te Paparahi 0 Te Raki Inquiry
DIRECTION COMMISSIONING RESEARCH
1. Pursuant to clause 5A of the second schedule of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, the Tribunal commissions Paul Thomas, historian, to prepare an overview research report on the major sub-regional patterns in the operation of the Native Land Court in the Te Paparahi 0 Te Raki inquiry region from 1865 to 1900.
2. The report will provide an overview of the operation of the of the Native Land Court and its processes and of Crown protection mechanisms in the titling, retention and alienation of Maori-owned land, analysing variations across the region and over time. The commissionee will have regard to Issue 5 The Native Land Court, 1865-1900 in the Tribunal's statement of issues for Stage 2 of the inquiry (Wai 1040, #1.4.2) and in particular to questions 5d-k, m-n and p-q concerning Maori engagement with the Court, the titling of customarily held land, Court processes and costs, protective mechanisms and legislation, remedies, outcomes and impacts.
3. The report will also take into account the research findings of the block histories commissioned under the Local Issues Research Programme, where available in distributed draft or final form, and the extent to which these conform with or differ from the sub-regional patterns it identifies. As a guide to the identification of sub-regions, the commissionee is referred to the Chief Historian's memorandum of 15 May 2014 on the selection of land blocks for case studies (Wai 1040, #6.2.15). Where appropriate, the report will give priority to the Court's operations in respect of blocks of 500 acres and above.
4. The report should address the following matters to the extent that source information is available and accessible and that time permits:
a) What sub-regional patterns can be identified in the operation of the Native Land Court in the Te Paparahi 0 Te Raki inquiry region up to 1900 in respect of initial title determination and subsequent litigation, partitioning, the notification, location and length of Court hearings, the evolution of Court business (in particular partitions and successions), the judges and assessors involved, and the survey and other Court-related costs incurred by Maori applicants?
b) What sub-regional patterns can be identified in the protections provided through the Court process in the inquiry region?
Appendix A: Research Commission

c) What sub-regional patterns can be identified, in broad terms, concerning the outcomes of the Court's operation in respect of the titling, retention and alienation of Maori-owned land in the inquiry region up to 19007
5. The commission commences on 18 April 2016 and ends on 28 October 2016, at which time one copy of the final report must be submitted for filing in unbound form, together with indexed copies of any supporting documents or transcripts. An electronic copy of the report should be provided in Word or Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Any appended data tables may also be provided in MS Excel format. The report and any accompanying material must be filed through the Registrar.
6. The report may be received as evidence and the author may be crossexamined on it.
7. The Registrar is to send copies of this direction to: Paul Thomas Claimant counsel and unrepresented claimants in the Te Paparahi 0 Te Raki Inquiry Chief Historian, Waitangi Tribunal Unit Principal Research Analyst, Waitangi Tribunal Unit Manager Research and Inquiry Facilitation, Waitangi Tribunal Unit Inquiry Supervisor, Waitangi Tribunal Unit Inquiry Facilitator(s), Waitangi Tribunal Unit Solicitor General, Crown Law Office Director, Office of Treaty Settlements Chief Executive, Crown Forestry Rental Trust Chief Executive, Te Puni K6kiri

Introduction
The tables and graphs used in the report were prepared by Waitangi Tribunal staff at
the request and direction of the author of this report from data entered into
spreadsheets adapted and generated for this project. The analysis and conclusions
drawn from these tables and graphs remain solely those of the author.
This introduction to the methodology explains how the data were collected, audited and
analysed and sets out the underlying principles relied on and any data limitations. It
begins by reviewing the existing research data spreadsheets and maps of Native Land
Court blocks. It then discusses the creation and auditing of the master title
determination spreadsheet created by Tribunal staff for this project and the analysis of
the assembled data. It ends by outlining the sources from which this project has drawn
data on the number of awardees per block, the number of restrictions on alienation
placed on blocks within the inquiry district, changes in the types of cases dealt with by
the Native Land Court over time, and Crown and private purchasing.
Te Paparahi o Te Raki (Te Raki) Inquiry District and its sub-regions The data collected and analysed for this report relates to land blocks within (or partly
within) the Te Paparahi o Te Raki (Te Raki) inquiry sub-regional boundaries. These
were initially defined in 2005 as proposed ‘inquiry districts’. This 2005 proposal
contemplated five separate sub-regions. Subsequently, the Tribunal agreed to a single
regional inquiry, embracing five sub-regions. It is these five sub-regions that have been
used to categorise the land blocks in the data used here. Those sub-regions are:
Mahurangi and the Gulf Islands, Whangarei, the Bay of Islands, Whangaroa and
Hokianga. The single regional inquiry became known as Te Paparahi o Te Raki in 2007.
The approximate boundaries of the inquiry region and the sub-regions are shown on
Figure 1 at the beginning of the report. These sub-regions should not be confused with
the taiwhenua under which claimants have organised their participation in the Te Raki
inquiry. It should also be noted that current inquiry boundary has been used for the
purposes of this report and is shown on the maps used throughout the report. The
exception is Figure 1, which shows the inquiry boundary as it was in 2005.
247
Coverage
The data collection and analysis have been designed to provide data to enable the
author to answer the commission questions. These require the commissionee to identify
sub-regional patterns in the operation of the Native Land Court in the Te Raki inquiry
region up to 1900 ‘to the extent that source information is available and accessible and
that the time frame to prepare this report allows’. This required data relating to:
• Title determination (including the notification, location and length of court
hearings and judges and assessors involved);
• Subsequent litigation (rehearings and appeals);
• Partitioning;
• The evolution of court business (in particular partitions and successions);
• Survey and other court-related costs incurred by Māori, and;
• Protections (restrictions on alienation, Trust Commissioners and District Officers
and reserves).556
Title Determination Details
Unfortunately, as the wording of the commission allowed for and anticipated, the scope
of the data collected and analysed has been narrower than initially hoped. The initial
focus was on collecting and verifying the names, sub-regions, acreage and date of title
determination for as many Te Raki Native Land Court blocks as possible (see below for
details). This was feasible because a working spreadsheet already existed, having been
created during work staff had done in preparation for a wider project tracking titling
and alienation of Maori land in the inquiry district. This project was later narrowed to
the four data validation reports produced by Dr Barry Rigby for this inquiry (Wai 1040,
A 48, A51, A53 and A56).
With this basic data tabulated (albeit with gaps and contradictions to be resolved), we
explored the feasibility of collecting and tabulating the other data on each title
determination case. However, in each case this would have required more time and
resources than were available to cover the 1,056 identified blocks comprehensively, the
556 Wai 1040, #2.3.52
248
priority need being to provide initial data at the point the author began drafting his
report in early July 2016.
In particular, data on notification of title investigation hearings would need to be
located in and tabulated from notices of sittings published in the New Zealand Gazette
and Kahiti. The location of the sitting, name of judge(s) and native assessors(s) can often
(but not always be) gathered from the front of each of the 84 Native Land Court Minute
Books for land within the Te Raki inquiry district. The location of the sitting is also
consistently recorded on Native Land Court certificates of title or memorials of owners
(sometimes the judge and native assessor’s names can be found there as well) and in
the Maori Land Court Minute Book Index. Time did not permit these sources to be
systematically searched and for that information to be tabulated and analysed. The
place of sitting (but not the name of the judge(s) or native assessor(s)) is generally
included in the Maori Land Court Minute Book index, but because the index only
contains blocks dealt with by the Court up to 1900 many of the blocks in the master
sheet are not found in that index.
The length of sittings would also have been relatively time consuming to determine for
all of the blocks identified. A ‘sitting’ of the Court means a period of days or weeks in
which a number of cases were heard. Armstrong and Subasic attempted to gather this
data from Native Land Court Minute Books, the Auckland Provincial Gazette and New
Zealand Gazette notices, newspaper reports, the papers of Spencer von Sturmer and
other relevant records. But they noted that ‘in many cases a start date is available, but
no details are provided as to when the sitting terminated. Our problems have also been
increased because Judge Maning's Land Court minute books are missing. Consequently,
we have been unable to ascertain the duration of his Court sittings.’557 However, within
these limits Armstrong and Subasic were able to provide a list of sitting start dates
arranged by location.558

558 Armstrong and Subasic, A12, Appendix I, pp 1483-1503
249
Rehearings and Appeals
It also proved difficult to find reliable and systematic data on blocks that were subject to
rehearings and/or appeals. The SOPAC spreadsheet noted where Berghan had
discovered that a block had been subject to more than one title investigation hearing,
but it was not clear from the data whether those cases where a subsequent title
investigation was held constituted an adjournment or a rehearing. The Maori Land
Court Minute Book Index also lacks clarity on this issue, with relatively few cases being
categorised as rehearings or appeals (a total of 60 for the whole of Taitokerau are
identified as such between 1865 and 1900). This information could be obtained from
the minutes of the cases themselves, but this would be very time-consuming.
Partitioning
Some exploratory work was done to use Berghan’s block narratives to generate
systematic data on partitioning patterns. However, this also proved to be time-
consuming, and the alternative option of focusing on one of the small sub-regions as a
sample raised issues about how representative the resulting data would be for the
whole inquiry district and for the other sub-regions within it. Given the limits of time
and resources this was not pursued.
Evolution of the Court’s Business
Data showing the changing case types dealt with by the Native Land Court between
1865 and 1900 was generated and used in the report. This is explained in detail below.
Survey and other Court-related Costs
Data on survey and court costs could not be collected and analysed in the time available
for this project. Court costs are generally recorded in the margins of the minutes
themselves and often on the Native Land Court certificate of title/memorial of owners.
The standard rates for these costs are set out in the gazetted rules of the court.
However, to build an accurate picture of the accumulating costs faced by hapu and iwi
bringing land through the court and returning to the court for rehearings, appeals,
partitions and successions over a period of years would have required tabulating costs
from all court hearings for a particular block. To do this for even a sample of the known
blocks in the inquiry district would have required considerable work. Obtaining
250
systematic data on survey costs would have involved searching through block order
files held at the Whangarei Maori Land Court for survey liens recorded against the title
or searching through survey lien registers at Archives New Zealand to find entries for
blocks within the inquiry district.
Protections
Restrictions on alienation have been analysed using data available on Crown grants
issued for blocks within the Te Raki inquiry district (see below for details). Time
constraints have meant that gathering systematic data on decisions by Trust
Commissioners has not been possible. This would have involved extracting data for Te
Raki blocks from Trust Commissioner files held at Archives New Zealand (Auckland and
Wellington) containing returns, applications and letters.
Compilation and Source Information
The title determination master sheet has been used to provide data about the number of
blocks and acres titled over time and across the inquiry district and its sub-regions. It
has also been used to generate data on the size of those blocks and how that changed
over time and across locations.
In line with an early decision to utilise as much existing data and possible, the initial
data for the sheet was taken from the spreadsheet compiled by the Crown as part of its
Statement of Position and Concessions (SOPAC) for stage 2 of the inquiry.559
• sub-region;
In
attempting to quantify land loss across the inquiry district and its five sub-regions the
Crown produced a spreadsheet that included details of title hearings for 920 blocks. The
sheet also recorded:
• area of the award;
• applicant’s name;
• whether it was contested;
• whether there were multiple title hearings;
• any details about the names and number of grantees and their hapu;
559 Wai 1040, #1.3.2(c)
251
• the date of court decision;
• any advances made on the blocks before title;
• any awards to the Crown at the time of title determination;
• any details of Crown and private purchases from 1865-1900, and;
• information on reserves.
There are also notes on Crown purchase tactics, for example the purchase of individual
interests and the imposition of restrictions on private purchasing. The source of this
data is largely the block narratives for Native Land Court blocks prepared by Paula
Berghan.560 The sheet has a number of gaps where data does not appear in the Berghan
narrative; these are marked ‘NIB’ (not in Berghan). The Crown commissioned SKM
(Sinclair Knight Mertz, a firm specialising in GIS data and mapping) to locate some
additional blocks in parts of the district that have not been identified previously. These
blocks were included in the SOPAC sheet.561
For this project, block name, sub-region and date of title determination decision were
entered from the SOPAC sheet into the master sheet. The source of the title
determination date was recorded as ‘SOPAC_#3.1.2(c)’. A search for further Maori Land
(ML) Plans for blocks within the district identified additional blocks. Attempts have
been made to locate the date of title determination in Native Land Court certificates of
title/memorials of owners for additional blocks and for blocks where it is missing from
the SOPAC data. Where this has not been possible, this field and year of titling have been
marked as ‘unknown’. Unfortunately, some of the acreage figures on the SOPAC sheet
are incorrect, featuring more roods or perches than can be correct (i.e. more than 39
perches and more than 3 roods). ML Plans were checked for all blocks and the acreage
from these entered into the sheet as an authoritative source for the size of the block at
the time that it entered the court.
Title Determination Master Sheet, July 2016
Structure In the master sheet COLUMN A contains the block name. A Native Land Court block was
deemed to be eligible for inclusion in the master sheet if any part of it lay within the 560 Berghan, A39(a)-(f) 561 Wai 1040, #1.3.2, fnt p 10
252
boundaries of the Te Raki inquiry district. This situation arose with blocks along the
northern boundary, the southern boundary of the Hokianga sub-region and the western
boundary of the Whangarei sub-region with the Tribunal’s Kaipara and Te Roroa
inquiry districts. This practice avoided the need to calculate what percentage of those
blocks lay inside or outside the inquiry boundary but does introduce some imprecision
to acreage figures. Several blocks were still categorised as straddling two sub-regions;
these have been excluded from the analysis.
Where the block name begins with ‘Te’, the ‘Te’ has been put in brackets at the end of
the name so as to make it easier to list the blocks alphabetically. This is in line with the
practice followed in the SOPAC sheet. The spelling of block names sometimes varies
from source to source. In general, we have taken the authoritative spelling to be that
used on the ML Plan or on the Native Land Court certificate of title. Where there is an
often used variant or a block is clearly also known by another name, this has been
included in brackets after the block name, e.g. (aka ….). One of the issues faced by those
working with land data in the Te Raki district is the relatively large number of blocks
with the same name in the inquiry district (and often in the same sub-region). To avoid
confusion these block names have been tagged in square brackets with the ML plan
reference on which they can be found. This acts as a unique identifier.
COLUMN B gives the Tribunal’s original pre-inquiry districts and the sub-regions of the
current inquiry district. Where a block appears on the SOPAC sheet, the pre-inquiry
district used there has been entered in the master sheet. The pre-inquiry district for
additional blocks was established by staff analysis using GIS and other relevant research
data.
COLUMN C contains the date of NLC decision and COLUMN D shows the year of NLC
decision. COLUMN E records the source of the NLC decision date. It was originally
intended that this would record the date on which the title determination judgment was
announced in the court. However, a scan through Berghan’s narratives suggests that the
‘date of court decision’ in the SOPAC sheet is sometimes the date the judgment was
handed down and sometimes the date on which a title was issued, depending on what
Ms Berghan has been able to find out. When using Native Land Court titles/memorials
of owners, the date of judgment is difficult to discern. The start and finish dates of the
253
title hearing are often (but not always) given, but it cannot necessary be assumed that
all judgments were delivered on the final day of the hearing. So in these cases the date of
the title itself has been entered as date of decision.
While recognising that these events are not the same in real terms, it makes little
difference to the analysis as most titles were issued within a month or so of the case
concluding. There are a small number of cases where the title was issued the following
year (this sometimes happened if the court decision was made late in the year). This
may introduce slight inaccuracy into tables and graphs that show the number of blocks
or acres titled in each year. However, the majority of the analysis of date of titling used
time periods as a unit of analysis, so these cases fall into the same time period
regardless of whether date of judgment or date of title is recorded. Where a date of
titling cannot be established from the SOPAC sheet or a Native Land Court certificate of
title/memorial of owners, ‘unknown’ has been entered in this field. Time did not permit
a search of the minute books to fill these data gaps.
COLUMN F is an analysis column that was added to categorise the blocks by date of
titling into broad time periods: 1865-1874, 1875-1880, 1881-1889, 1890-1899, 1900-
1920 and after 1920. These were decided by the author to reflect identifiable periods
for the operation of the Court in the inquiry district.
COLUMN G, H, I records block size in acres, roods and perches, and COLUMN J as
decimalised acres. The acreage of the block has been recorded so that acres, roods and
perches are set out in separate columns, with the fourth column providing a decimalised
figure for that acreage.562
This enables the acreages to be added together easily.
COLUMN K gives the source, COLUMN L the reference and COLUMN M the date of the
source for the acreage figure. In almost all cases the source of the acreage figure will be
an ML Plan and/or a Native Land Court certificate of title/memorial of owners. All ML
Plan references are for plans from the North Auckland district. Occasionally, in the
absence of a primary source, acreage has been established from the Maori Land Court
562 The formula for this decimal calculation is (perches+(roods x 40)+(acres x160))/160
254
Minute Book index entry online. In those cases where the acreage could not be
established, this is noted as ‘unknown’.
The final column of the master sheet, COLUMN N, giving the size range in acres, is an
analysis column that was added to categorise the blocks by size. Armstrong and Subasic
make several arguments about the pattern of blocks brought before the court for titling
based on their size. In order to test these arguments against the available data, it was
decided to add this field. We were particularly interested in the fate of small blocks
(under 500 acres) and large blocks (over 5,000 acres) so decided on the following size
range categories:
• 100 acres or less
• 101-200 acres
• 201-300 acres
• 301-400 acres
• 401-500 acres
• 501-1,000 acres
• 1,001- 2,000 acres
• 2,001-3,000 acres
• 3,001-4,000 acres
• 4,001-5,000 acres
• More than 5,000 acres
The master title determination sheet is attached here as Appendix C.
Extent of Auditing and Checking and Limitations of the Data Every attempt has been made to check the data for accuracy as it was being entered into
the master sheet. However, the limited time available for the data phase of this project
means that this sheet has not been fully audited and there is likely to be a small amount
of duplication of block entries (from blocks with the same name in the same district)
and some possible double-counting where parcels created by partition (at time of titling
or later) have been entered as well as the original block. Some categorisation errors
may also remain. However, these should have a minimal effect on the data, which
remain precise enough to show broad patterns of titling. In addition, as noted above,
255
there is some level of incompleteness in the data. The number of blocks where the date
of titling is unknown is 105 out of the total 1,056 blocks (9.9%) and those blocks where
the acreage is unknown total 99 out of the 1,056 blocks (9.4%).
It is also acknowledged that the data gives us only the known Native Land Court blocks
in the inquiry district. This falls some way short of accounting for all of the land that
should come under this category. A GIS estimate made by Tribunal staff gives a possible
total acreage of the inquiry district of 2,102,094 acres. In its statement of position and
concessions the Crown put the total acreage of the district at 2,123,148 acres.563 When
the figures for Old Land Claim grants, surplus, script, pre-emptive waiver purchases and
pre-1865 Crown purchases arrived at by Rigby564
are subtracted from the GIS figure,
this suggests that the total area that should have been available to be dealt with by the
Court by the start of 1865 was 1,336,896.8 acres. The known blocks listed in the master
sheet total 934,745.6 acres (see table below). So we seem to have been able to account
for around 70% of calculated acreage available to pass through the Court at the
beginning of 1865.
Analysis The tables and graphs used in this report were generated from the master title
determination sheet and other sheets (as described below) using pivot tables. The
general practice adopted was to exclude blocks that have no known data of titling or
have no known acreage for this analysis, except where the ‘unknown’ category is
needed to calculate percentages that will sum to 100%, so these can be represented
accurately in pie charts and proportional bar and column graphs. Where blocks with
unknown data are excluded, this is noted immediately under the table concerned.

Data on the Number of Awardees per Block
One of the questions addressed in the report is how the average number of people
granted title to blocks changed over time and what impact this had on the subsequent
ability of the Crown to purchase the land. Although it does not contain all the blocks
now identified, the SOPAC sheet did give the number of people awarded each block.
These data were used to calculate the average number of grantees on titles for each time
period.
Data on Restrictions on Alienation
The report features some data on the number of blocks that were restricted from
alienation by the Court. These data were provided by a spreadsheet of Crown grants for
blocks in the Te Raki inquiry district compiled by Dr Barry Rigby from the bound master
set of Crown grants held at Archives New Zealand in Wellington. The data were matched
and analysed with the master title determination sheet. Dr Rigby’s original sheet is
attached as Appendix D. The joined titling and Crown grant working sheets are
attached as Appendix E.
Data on Native Land Court Case Types
The report features some analysis of the changing business of the Court over time,
particularly the decline in title determination cases (the initial business of the Court)
and the rise in ‘second generation’ activities such as partition and succession cases. As
mentioned previously, the small number of cases categorised as rehearings or appeals
made it impossible to detect any pattern in the changing frequency of those categories.
This analysis was made possible by obtaining from the University of Auckland a copy of
the spreadsheet of data that sits behind its online index to Maori Land Court minute
books.565
565
This spreadsheet with additional working columns added (highlighted pink) is
included here as Appendix F. This spreadsheet contained data for all the blocks within
the Taitokerau Maori Land Court district. Initially it was hoped to be able to sort out of
that data set all of the entries for blocks in the inquiry district. Because this proved
time-consuming, the report uses data for the whole of the court district to give a sense
http://www.knowledge-basket.co.nz/databases/maori-land-court-minute-book-index/
257
of the broad changes in the patterns of the Court’s activity over time. It is likely that
these broad patterns were reflected in the inquiry district as well.
Data for Crown Purchases
While the primary focus of this report is not land alienation, the purchase of land that
had been put through the Court revealed some clear connections between the way that
the Court operated and the Crown’s land purchasing programme, particularly during
the 1870s and the 1890s. The spreadsheet of Crown purchasing data created by Dr
Rigby in his validation report on Crown purchasing between 1866 and 1900566
Data for Private Purchasing
was
matched with the titling data for blocks that had been purchased. This combined
spreadsheet is attached as Appendix G. The columns in regular font have been taken
from the title determination master sheet, while those in CAPITALS have been taken
from Dr Rigby’s spreadsheet. Where a block has been subject to several purchases, but
those occurred within the same time period, all relevant purchase deed numbers, dates
and years have been included in a single entry and the areas of the individual purchases
summed to give a total figure for acres purchased in that block. Rigby deducted a
percentage from his figure for the total acres purchased by the Crown to account for
blocks that lay partly outside the Te Raki inquiry district. This deduction was ignored
here as we have included all blocks that lie wholly or partly in the inquiry district.
This report has not provided an extensive analysis of the pattern of private purchasing
of Maori land in the inquiry district between 1865 and 1900. This is partly because the
connections between the operation of the Native Land Court and private purchasing are
far less clear in the existing research (and this report is essentially an analysis of that
research). But it is also because the data relating to private purchasing is poor. The
SOPAC sheet uses the Berghan block narratives to try to quantify the extent of private
purchasing. However, it is unclear how extensive and systematic Berghan’s search for
private purchases was. The SOPAC sheet aggregated private purchasing into time
periods, but unfortunately those time periods are different from those used in this
report’s analysis. In addition, the land areas shown as privately purchased on the SOPAC
566 Rigby, A56
258
sheet are recorded in hectares rather than acres, so they require converting to acres if
they are to be used.
Because of a degree of imprecision in Berghan, there is also a reasonably significant
amount of private purchasing that has been categorised as ‘[date] not stated, prob[ably]
before 1900’ and ‘[date] not stated at all’. However, this is the only systematic data on
private purchasing available for the inquiry district. Therefore, these figures have been
cited in the body of the report, and give some idea of the extent of private purchasing
and how this changed over time.
