... Judge Maning, the quaint and humorous author of 'Old New Zealand,' in a letter to Chief Judge Fenton, dated Hokianga, 24 June 1867, on the working of the Court, states 'that The Native Lands Act 1865, satisfies a great want and vital necessity of the Maori people, by offering them a means of extricating themselves from the Maori tenure, and obtaining individual and exclusive titles of land.' |
