228 (59) Pukehou No.4 (Subd claim) W.D 367 4774/06

Mr Booth appeared on behalf of the crown.

Dr Buller appeared on behalf of Eri Tahitangata.

Mr Booth – sworn

I am a government P.O. Agent.

I make an application on behalf of the crown for the interest of Eru Tahitangata in the portion of the Pukehou Block marked on Plan as A and containing 926 – 0 – 1 a mutual consent by all parties interested in the whole block that Eru Tahitangata alone should have the portion above named (portion marked A)

I therefore apply for a certificated be issued in favour of Eru Tahitangata. It is also the wish of all the owners to have the rest of the block subdivided and an arrangement has been come to for the subdivision.

Objectors challenged

Enoka stated that he objected and that they had not agreed as to the subdivision.

Pape – the only objection I have is – if Eru gives up all his claim to the other part of the block, expecting the a240 – r1- p0 for himself and family .

Eru objected.

Pape, enoka and Tamati and others wished that the whole of the block should be settled at the same time as that asked for by Mr Booth to be awarded to Eru Tahitangata because Eru might want to claim a part of our lands in this block – owing to the continual disputes Dr Buller applied to have the ------ block called on – (see page 242)
