N2  - "The Native Land Court, today the Maori Land Court, is one of the most important institutions in New Zealand history. It was responsible for the conversion of millions of acres of land from Maori customary title to a European style of tenure. Some of the Court's decisions are among the most important in New Zealand legal history.  Until the publication of this volume, however, no authoritative published selection of the Court's principal decisions existed. This book, intended to be the first in a series, is a representative selection of the Court's main decisions from 1865-1887. It includes cases from all over the country, ranging from the Houhora peninsula in the far North to Ruapuke Island in Fouveaux Strait, and includes such key decisions as the Oakura decision of the Compensation Court, the notorious Heretaunga block in Hawke's Bay, the Chatham Island cases and cases relating to the "gift of the peaks" of what is now Tongariro National Park."--Back cover jacket
