Remarks

At the Court hearing Harataunga 4 was claimed by Arama Karaka and Wikitoria Rangipiki of Ngati Tamatera. Wikitoria asked for a Crown Grant to be issued without restrictions on alienability, as "Arama Karaka and I have land elsewhere to cultivate". She added that

The lines were cut on the ground by the surveyor Macdonald. I saw them cut. There was no opposition to the survey. Arama Karaka and I have occupied the land. We were never disturbed. Mr Macdonald is not in the Province.

There was no opposition, and the Court ordered accordingly.
