I no hereby extend the period within which the Commissioners herein appointed shall send in their report to Thursday, 15th June, 1882. A. Goedon, Approved in Council, this ninth day of May, 1882. Governor. Foestee Goeing, Clerk of the Executive Council.

To His Excellency Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, G.C.M.G., Governor of New Zealand, &c., &c. Mat it please Your, Excellency,— We, the undersigned, appointed "by a Commission dated the 16th day of February, 1882, under the hand of the Governor, and sealed with the public seal of the colony, to examine and report upon all claims to land brought before us by officers or private members of Her Majesty's naval and military forces, as having retired to settle in New Zealand; and by members of the local forces of the colony for services rendered by them in such capacities—which claims, owing to lapse of time or from technical reasons, cannot now be enforced by law—respectfully submit for your Excellency's consideration the following report of our proceedings:—

3

H.—l7

In conformity with the 3rd clause of the above-mentioned Commission, we have caused to be inserted in the principal newspapers throughout the colony, notices calling upon all persons claiming, under any laws or regulations now or in time past in force in the colony, to be or to have been entitled to grants of land, or to remission of money in the purchase of land, as retired members of Her Majesty's forces, or for services rendered in colonial corps, to forward to us applications showing the nature and grounds of their claims. In reply to these notices we have received 1,582 applications from different persons. We have found that a large number of these claims had little or nothing to recommend them, and that many were based upon the notion that the Commissioners had power to extend or alter the law in their favour, or had at their disposal blocks of land to be awarded as compensation for losses sustained or for services rendered during the war, or for length of service in Her Majesty's forces. We have, notwithstanding, carefully examined them all; taking evidence wherever we could obtain it, and making references to the various departments of Government from which authentic information might be obtained. In order to facilitate the inquiries we were instructed to institute, we have visited and held sittings at Wellington, Auckland, the Thames, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Napier, Dunedin, Oamaru, Christchureh, and Blenheim. In determining the various applications we have been guided mainly by these two considerations:— Ist. That it was not within our province to go beyond the law by entertaining claims that might have been valid had they been preferred at the proper time and in the proper manner, but which had been allowed to lapse through the manifest neglect or indifference of the claimants themselves; and, 2nd. That we were required to do justice to those who, from purely technical difficulties, excusable ignorance, or from the neglect or error of those in authority, who ought to have forwarded the claims and furthered the interests of their men, had failed to secure those advantages which the law allowed to them. Amongst these last we have included a number of discharged soldiers, who, from having no one to inform them of their privileges or to advise and assist them in obtaining the land to which they were entitled, either omitted to make their applications within the stipulated time, or were rebuffed by difficulties and technical objections often raised by Crown Lands Commissioners, who were more anxious to augment the provincial revenues than to part with the land. Wo have satisfied ourselves that the claimants so recommended completed the requisite period of residence in their respective districts, but as a rule we have excluded all those living in provincial districts where the Acts were never in force, and also those discharged in the colony subsequent to 1861, after which time no plea of ignorance could reasonably be admitted, as the conditions were then well known in all the regiments serving in New Zealand. Where exceptions have been made to this rule there have been special circumstances to influence our decision. In advocating this extension of the law on behalf of old soldiers we are supported by the Public Petitions Committee of 1879, who recommended "that the claims " of soldiers discharged in the colony should be recognized where at any time the " claimants have been entitled to grants of land, but through informality or " ignorance of the regulations failed to comply with the conditions." There are two cases, each including many applicants, which we think require special remark, and we give a short summary of the principal points; the full particulars are contained in evidence taken by the present Commissioners; in that taken by Major Gordon, a previous Commissioner ; in Reports of the Petitions Committees of the House of Representatives on various occasions; and in voluminous correspondence with the Defence Office. We refer to the claim of Major Jackson and the Eorest Rangers, and to that of the Defence Eorce raised at Auckland by the late Colonel Nixon (which latter was favourably reported on in 1873 by the Commissioner, Major Gordon). In August, 1863, Major Jackson was directed to enrol for three months a certain number of men for a special service as Eorest Rangers. In consideration of the arduous and dangerous duties they had to perform, they received a very

H.—l7

4

high rate of pay, viz., Bs. a day, which was more than treble that of the ordinary militiaman or military settler. Other conditions of enrolment are given in a memorandum in the handwriting of Mr. T. Russell, the then Defence Minister, in which it is stated that " in addition to the ordinary grant, the Government will " make a grant of land to any man who distinguishes himself, or to the widow of " any man who may be killed in action." After the three months' service had expired some of these men were re-enrolled on a lower rate of pay, and served for the three years required from military settlers, and received the ordinary grants of land. Eor each of those who elected to quit the corps after the three months when the rate of pay was reduced from Bs. to ss. a day, Major Jackson claims a grant of land, and for those who continued and served for the three years, two grants, one as an original Eorest Ranger and another as a military settler. This interpretation of the conditions of enrolment was repudiated by Mr. Russell on the 19th October, 1861, when he informed Major Jackson that the men who did not re-enrol were not entitled to land, and again in his letter addressed to Sir D. McLean on the 11th September, 1874, when he enters fully into the whole question. We are of opinion that the "ordinary" grant implied a grant under the ordinary conditions, which conditions having been published in the Government Gazette with reference to military settlers in Auckland on the very date of the memorandum, prove to us that they must have been in Mr. Russell's mind when he wrote it. We consider, therefore, that the claims of Major Jackson and his men have been satisfied by the grants which they have already received. Up to the time of the appointment of the Commission no claim had been put forward by Major Jackson, or by any of his men, for the additional grant promised for distinguished service. That officer now avers that he did perform such service, and produces, amongst other evidence, the Gazette of the 9th April, 1864, which contains a notice of the promotion of several officers, including himself, for " distinguished service." He also claims a like grant for several of his men, and specifies occasions on which they distinguished themselves. Whilst recognizing his special qualifications for such a command, and the high courage displayed by his men, and the excellent service they performed, we do not think we are justified in recommending them for the reward, now for the first time, claimed for them. The services rendered by his men were such as were expected from a carefullyselected corps, receiving a much higher rate of pay than was given to the regiments of military settlers, while the land allotted to them at Rangiaohia was the choicest portion of the whole Waikato Delta. We may add further that Major Jackson's promotion gave him an additional quantity of valuable land in the same district. We have found more difficulty in coming to a conclusion in the other cases. There is no doubt that Colonel Nixon did inform his men that they would receive land in addition to their pay, and that he did induce some of them to join the Defence Eorce by that statement. The question is : Had he sufficient warrant for making such an offer ? There is no documentary evidence of any kind to show that he was authorized to do so. On the contrary, the original memorandum, fixing the rates of pay in Mr. Russell's handwriting, and the notifications inserted at the time in the newspapers inviting men to join, make no mention of land, and Mr. Russell stated before the Petitions Committee of the House of Representatives in the following year, 1864, "that there was no engagement with the " members of the Defence Eorce that they should have grants of land, and a higher " rate of pay was fixed for them in lieu of land." It appears, from the evidence that has been taken on oath, that Colonel Nixon based his promise to the men chiefly on conversations he had had with the then Governor, Sir George Grey, but Sir George Grey has stated, in reply to a letter addressed to him by Major Gordon, as Commissioner, in July, 1875, that he could not remember any facts connected with the claim, that he had nothing to do with the granting or apportionment of land in the Waikato, the whole power connected with this subject being in the hands of his responsible advisers, with whom he did not interfere in the matter. After carefully considering the whole question, we are of opinion that the promise made by Colonel Nixon was made without sufficient warrant, and was not sustained by any Act or regulation then or afterwards in force; and we do not

5

H.—l7.

think the Government are called upon to carry out such a promise, and therefore do not recommend that the claims should bo admitted. There is another case which we only notice to express our strong condemnation of the conduct of two officers and some men of the Ist Waikato Regiment, who have put forward a claim on account of town allotments, which they state were not granted to them in accordance with their conditions of service. On their being located at Tauranga in 1866, the Superintendent of Auckland, Mr. Whitaker, at their request, agreed to give them quarter-acre allotments in the township of Te Papa, which was not confiscated land, instead of one-acre allotments in a military township to be laid off at the Gate Pa. As the land in the township on the shores of the harbour was of much greater value than the other, which was two or three miles away, they readily accepted the offer, and yet, apparently in the hope that an arrangement made at their own instance sixteen years ago would now escape notice, they ask that the balance of the allotments may be made good to them. We think it a matter of surprise and regret that two officers who have both held commissions in Her Majesty's service should have been guilty of such an attempt to obtain grants to which they have not the slightest claim. We have had to deal with a number of claims made by Volunteers enrolled between the years 1873 and 1876, whose title to scrip was quashed by the 3rd section of "The Waste Land Administration Act, 1876," which cancelled the rights of all Volunteers who had not then completed three years' "efficient" service. These men complain that the repeal of conditions in force at the time of their enrolment was a great hardship—that they took service on the faith of promises guaranteed to them by the law of the colony, and that the repeal of that law was unjust and arbitrary in its retrospective character. We find that this matter has more than once been brought before the House of Representatives, and in 1878 the Petitions Committee recommended that the rights abolished by the Act of 1876 should be maintained. We have considered it our duty to reject all claims of this character that have been brought before us, but we think that the Legislature should be invited to reconsider the matter, and, if practicable, restore their rights to all those men enrolled before the 31st October, 1876, who subsequently, by continuous service, completed their five years as efficient Volunteers. Should the grants we have recommended be confirmed by the Legislature, we would suggest that due notice should be given to each applicant that his claim has been allowed ; that, where land has been awarded, scrip available only in the district where the claimant resides should be issued at the rate of 10s. an acre; that all scrip should be exercisable only by the person in whose favour it has been granted, and that it should be absolutely barred unless exercised within six months from the date of issue, and that a notification to this effect should be printed on the scrip itself. Before concluding our report, we desire to state that the experience we have gained at those places where we have held our sittings has satisfied us that, to have done full justice both to the colony and to the claimants, it was desirable that inquiries should be made at every place where records could be examined. We might have extended our visits with some advantage to other places, but we were unwilling further to prolong our task, which had already extended beyond the period first named in our Commission. We believe, however, that we have fairly examined and determined, in accordance with the considerations we laid down for our guidance, every claim that has been brought before us. In carrying out the instructions contained in the Bth section of the Commission, we have searched all the Defence Office documents placed at our disposal, and the parliamentary records since 1875, to assure ourselves that no substantial claim has escaped our notice. We have received willing assistance from all the departments of Government to whom we have referred, and especially from the Defence Office, where the records of many years back have with great labour been diligently searched. The Officers Commanding Militia Districts have also largely aided us; in particular, Major Stapp, of Taranaki, was able to furnish us with full and accurate information

H.—l7

6

with respect to every applicant from that district. Erom Wanganui, however (we believe from no fault of the officer recently placed in command), we could obtain no information, for the Volunteer rolls could not be found, and there appeared to be no records of any kind in the office. We attach to this report two schedules, one containing the names of those applicants whose claims we are able to recommend for favourable consideration, and the other comprising all those we have judged to be inadmissible. All which we respectfully submit for your Excellency's consideration. Given under our hands and seals, at Wellington, this 13th day of June, 1882. T. M. Haultain, Chairman. James Eulton. Henry Bunny.
