3 Jun 1849 Jahr - Nanto-Bordelaise rights conveyed to New Zealand Company

Beschreibung:

After the British government had examined the accounts of the company, Lord
Stanley accepted that it was entitled to the 30,000 acres claimed. He issued
instructions that the amount of land sold to the French be confirmed and if this came
to less than 30,000 acres, then the Crown would waive its right of pre-emption and
allow the company to purchase the remainder directly from the Maori owners. Once
this was completed a Crown grant would be prepared in favour of the company. None
of this was ever done: the company was defunct and had no agent at Akaroa. In June
1849, the company's rights on the peninsula were conveyed to the New Zealand
Company.
