THE PURCHASE OF CROWN LANDS BY NATIVES.
We have just seen a Crown Grant in favour of a native named Te Rangi, formerly a constable in the armed police. Te Rangi is an industrious and well disposed man; he belongs to the "Waikato district. The land in question is situate at the North Shore, near the flag staff. The number of acres contained in the farm selected by Te Rangi is nineteen, and the amount paid to the Governnent for the land is £95, —£1 for the Grant, and 12s. 6d. for Registration. Other selections are being made by natives, and we doubt not, but that the sensible way in which Te Rangi has invested his money will speedily be seen and felt to be so beneficial as to induce very many other natives to become alike civilized, and privileged.
