said that their request was unreasonable. Ultimately the reserve was fixed, 293 acres and 500 acres to be taken out of No 4 block. ...

Reserves were also fixed and ordered by the Court for the Ngatirahiri, 147 acres out of No 18 block, and Ngatitaharua, 434 acres out of No 1 block.

This closed the question of tribal reserves except as to promises relating to small reserves for old burial places etc, to satisfy which I agreed to the following:

1. Rauwharangi, 10 acres, at the extreme west angle of block No 17. Grant to issue to Hoera Te Mimiha, Mihereana Te Mimiha and Ngahuka Te Mimiha.

2. Te Pahi, 10 acres in No 18 block, to include the pah. Grant to issue to Haora Tareranui and Hoera Tupaea.

3. Kotangitangi, 1 acre at Waitawheta in No 17 block. Grant to issue to Te Keepa Raharuhi and Peti Harakai.

4. Rau-o-te-Wheu Tapu, 2 acres near Owharoa on the east bank of the river. Grant to issue to Maraea Whiria, Makareta Tokerau and Tupeka Te Whakamau.

5. Kahotara, 5 acres at the junction of the Waitekauri and Mangakara Creeks. Grant to issue to Karaitiana Kihau.

6. Near Rau-o-te-Wheu, 2 acres. Grant to issue to Tareranui and Tukukino.

These reserves to be at once surveyed, the positions to be pointed out to the surveyor by the grantees, and the whole of them to be absolutely inalienable.
