NAVAL AND MILITARY CLAIMS (REPORT ON).

Prist titi<l to both Houses of the Genera/ Assembly by command of His Excellency.

The I'nder-Sk. RKiAiiv for Lands to the Right Hon. the Minister of Lands. Sik,— hands Department, Wellington, 26th August, 1911. In accordance with your instructions that an inquiry should be held by the Stipendiary Magistrates into any claims preferred for naval, military, or Volunteer services, I have the honour to report that action was accordingly taken to give effect to the request and desires of the Government. The necessary application-forms were printed, and a supply sent to each Chief Postmaster throughout the Dominion. Notices were exhibited at the principal post-offices, railway-stations, and other public places, and notifications made by a large number of newspapers, (if the investigation into any claims that would be submitted. On the 30th April, 1910, the Stipendiary Magistrates Hi Rotorua, Whangarei, .Auckland, Russell, Thames, Hamilton, Napier, Gisborne, New Plymouth, Wanganui, lluwc in. Palmerston North, Mnsterton. Wellington, Nelson, Blenheim, Christchurch, Greymouth, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, Queenstown, and Invercargill were authorized and instructed to inquire into any claims received by them ; and they were also informed that it was desirable and important that their sittings should be regulated so as to give every opportunity to claimants of personally submitting their claims with a minimum amount of labour and expense. The total number of claims received by the Stipendiary Magistrates amounted to 007. It will be interesting and instructive, before proceeding to summarize the result of the present hearings and findings of the Magistrates, to show briefly what had already been done in regard (.. compensating those who have taken any part in the several campaigns, or have obtained grants under the several enactments that had been passed in reference to naval and military settlers and Volunteers. In the first place, grants of land were given to those persons who retired from the Imperial army for the purpose of settling in the disturbed portions of New Zealand; and also to tlmso wlio had been engaged in actual warfare in New Zealand against the Crown's enemies. Section VII of tin Land Regulations by His Excellency Governor Grey on the 4th March. 1853, deals with military settlers, and is as follows : " Military and naval officers will lie allowed in all parts of New Zealand where there are waste lands of the Crown the privileges accorded to them by the Regulations of May, 1851. But the remission-money given to them in terms of those regulations will be subject to the rules 25 and 26 hereinbefore prescribed relative to Government scrip." The regulations of May, 1851, alluded to in the above clause 28 were issued by the Imperial Government, and were published under the heading of " Information for the Use of Military and Naval Officers proposing to settle in certain of the British Colonies." They were officially notified in New Zealand on the 23rd December, ISSI, by command of His Excellency the Governor. This memorandum prescribed the conditions necessary for officers who proposed to retire and select land in the Australian Colonies and New Zealand, Ceylon, and Frve of Good Hope. Officers so I—H. 21.

retiring were advised that in purchasing land they were allowed v remission of purchase-money according to the following scale : Field officers of twenty-five years' service and upwards in the whole, £600; field officers of twenty years' service and upwards in the whole, £500; field officers of fifteen years' service or less in the whole, £400; captains of twenty years' service and upwards in the whole, £400; captains of fifteen years' service or less in the whole, £300; subalterns of twenty years' service and upwards in the whole, £300; subalterns of seven years and upwards in the whole, £200; subalterns under seven years' standing are not entitled to any remission in the purchase of land. The Auckland Provincial Government issued Land Regulations dated the 15th March, 1855, and clauses 37 and 38 of these dealt with naval and military settlers, and were as follows : — " 37. Every naval and military officer, whether on full or half pay, and every non-commis-sioned officer and private marine and seaman, whether belonging to Her Majesty's service or to the service of the East India Company, who, being on service in New Zealand, shall retire or obtain his discharge there, shall be entitled to receive from the Waste Land Board (in lieu of an allowance in respect of money expended in passages, as hereinbefore provided in respect of settlers emigrating from the United Kingdom) a money certificate enabling him to acquire land free of cost, after the following rate: Commissioned officers, 400 acres; non-commissioned officers above the rank of corporal, or equivalent to that rank in the sea service, 80 acres; non-commissioned officers being corporals or under that rank, or equivalent to or under that rank in the sea service, 60 acres; private soldiers, marines, and seamen, 40 acres. " 38. Such money certificate shall be received for the amount therein expressed in payment of any special-occupation land which the person entitled to such certificate may select from such as may have been declared, as hereinbefore provided, to be open for sale in New Zealand." In 1856, the Auckland Provincial Legislature passed the Naval and Military Scrip Act, 1856, and the following are extracts therefrom : — " Be it enacted by the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, with the advice and consent of the Provincial Council thereof, as follows: — " 1. It shall be lawful for the said Superintendent to issue to every of the persons now or lately belonging to Her Majesty's service as aforesaid, and who was employed in suppressing the said insurrection, and who has been, or shall be, discharged from such service, and is now, or shall be hereafter, settled within the limits of the said province, a certificate in or as near as may be to the form given in the Schedule to this Act annexed; and every of the said persons to whom such certificate shall be so issued, or, in the event of his death, his personal representatives, shall be entitled to a remission of twenty pounds in the purchase of any Crown lands situate within the said province, on delivering; in person such certificate, at any sale of the said Crown lands, unto the Waste Lands Commissioner, or such other person as shall be duly authorized to sell such lands thereat. " ScHTOUI.E REFERRED TO IST THE FORFOOrN'O ArT. " Scrip issued under the Naval anil Military Scriv Act, 1856, of the Local Legislature of the Province of Auckland, in the Colony of New Zealand. " Certificate No. [Number to be written]. "I, [A. 8., Enquire], Superintendent o f the Province of Auckland, in the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the nowers vested in mc in that behalf I>\ the Act above mentioned, and after having first caused due inquiry in that behalf to be made, do hrebv certify, to the best of my belief and knowledge, th't [C.

" Given under my hand and seal, at Auckland, inTthe'province aforesaid, this fT day of , one '" thousand eight hundred and " [A. B.j, " Superintendent of the Province of Auckland aforesaid. "J In the Auckland Land Regulations of the 15th June, 1856, it was enacted by Regulation 56 that :— " Naval and Military Settlers. " 56. Every person who has heretofore received from the Waste Land Board, under the provisions in that behalf contained in the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth sections of the Land Regulations for the said province, which came into force on the fifteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, a money certificate enabling him to acquire land free of cost, mar select, before the first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, out of any blocks of special-occupation land heretofore declared open for selection, and under and subject to all the provisions in that behalf contained in such Land Regulations, the number of acres mentioned in the said certificate, anything hereinbefore contained to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding." Further provision was made in regard to naval and military officers and privates settling in the Auckland Province by sections 80 and 81 of the Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1858. These sections are as follows :— " 80. Every naval and military officer, whether on full or half pay, and every non-commis-sioned officer and private, marine, and seaman, whether belonging to Her Majesty's service or to the service of the East India Company, who may retire or obtain his discharge from the service to which he may belong, or who, having retired or obtained his discharge for the purpose aforesaid, has not selected land under any former law or regulation enabling naval and military settlers to select land free of cost, shall be entitled (in lieu of an allowance in respect of money

expended in passages as hereinbefore provided, in respect of settlers emigrating from the United Kingdom and elsewhere) to receive from the Commissioner a land order enabling him to acquire land free of cost after the following rate: Commissioned officer, 400 acres; non-commissioned and warrant officer, 80 acres; private soldier, marine, and seaman, 60 acres. "81. Provided always that any such officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, and any marine and seaman, before be shall be entitled to receive any Such land order, shall prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, by certificate or otherwise, that he retired or obtained his discharge for the purpose of settling in the Province of Auckland; and any non-commissioned officer, or private, marine, or seaman shall at the same time produce to the Commissioner a certificate from the officer under whom he may have served, of having during his period of service been of good character : Provided also that any such land order shall be applied for within twelve calendar months next after such retirement or discharge as aforesaid, or within three months from the passing of this Act, by those who have retired or been discharged." The privilege given to naval and military men settling in Auckland by the last-quoted statute was extended to the Provinces of New Plymouth and Wellington by Clause XV of the Waste Lands Act, 1858. This Act was passed by the Legislature on the 15th August, 1858. The Province of Hawke's Bay, which was constituted on the Ist November, 1858, was at the date of the passing of the Act a portion of the Wellington Province. Clause XV of the Waste Lands Act, 1858, is us follows :— " XV. Whereas it is desirable to encourage the settlement of naval and military settlers throughout the Northern Island of New Zealand : Be it therefore further enacted that naval and military officers, whether on full or half pay, and every non-commissioned officer and private, marine, and seaman, whether belonging to Her Majesty's service or to the service of the East India Company, who may retire or obtain his discharge from the service to which he may belong, or who, having retired or obtained his discharge for the purpose of settling in the Provinces of New Plymouth or Wellington, has not selected land under any former law or regulation enabling navai and military settlers to select land free of cost, shall be entitled to land free of cost in the said provinces respectively, in like manner and upon the same terms and conditions as naval and military settlers are entitled to land free of cost under the Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1858. And the several powers and duties of the Commissioner appointed under the said Act in respect of land to be so granted shall be exercised and performed by any Commissioner of Crown Lands in the said several Provinces of New Plymouth and Wellington." Further provision was made in the Auckland Land Regulations on the Ist October, 1859, and are found in clauses 76, 77, and 78 of those regulations, and are to the following effect: — " Naval and Military Settlers. > " 76. Every naval and military officer, whether on full or half pay, and every non-commie-sioned officer and private, marine, and seaman, whether belonging to Her Majesty's service or to the service of the East India Company, who may retire or obtain his discharge from the service to which he may belong, or who, having retired or obtained his discharge for the purpose of settling in the Province of Auckland, has not selected land under any former law or regulation enabling naval and military settlers to select land free of cost, shall be entitled (in lieu of an allowance in respect of money expended in passages, as hereinbefore provided, in respect of settlers emigrating from the United Kingdom and elsewhere) to receive from the Commissioner a hind order enabling him to acquire land free of cost after the following rate : Commissioned officer, 400 acres; non-commissioned and warrant officer, 80 acres; private soldier, marine, and seaman, GO acres. " 77. Provided always that any such officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, and any marine and seaman, before he shall be entitled to receive any such land order, shall prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, by certificate or otherwise, that he retired or obtained his discharge for the purpose of settling in the Province of Auckland; and any non-commissioned officer, or private, marine, or seaman shall at the same time produce to the Commissioner a certificate from the officer under whom he may hays served of having during his period of service been of a good character : Provided also that any such land order shall be applied for within twelve calendar months next after such retirement or discharge as aforesaid, or shall have been applied for before the ninth day of June, 1858, by those who have retired or been discharged. "78. Every such land order shall be granted "by the Commissioner or his Deputy in New Zealand, and shall be to the same purport, and shall have the same effect, and shall entitle the person in whose favour the same is granted to the same rights and privileges, as a land order granted by an agent in England to a person emigrating therefrom, after such last-mentioned order shall have been presented to, and had a note made thereon by, the Commissioner or his Deputy as hereinbefore provided." In addition to granting land to naval and military settlers in the North Island, it should .also be mentioned that in the District of Nelson special provision was also made in the Nelson Waste Lands Regulations of the Ist July, 1856, providing for the granting of land to persons who retired from the army or navy for the purpose of settling in the Province of Nelson. Sections 34, 35, and 36 of these regulations dealt with the subject, and are quoted hereunder :— " Naval and Military Settlers. " 34. Any naval or military officer on full or half pay, whether belonging to Her Majesty's! service or to that of the East India Company, who shall retire or obtain his discharge for the purpose of settling in New Zealand, shall be entitled to receive a money certificate to the amount

H.—2l.

of £300, on Lis signing, and depositing with the Commissioner of Crown Lands, a memorandum that by the acceptance of such certificate he holds himself to have come under an honourable engagement, and does accordingly engage, to reside within the Province of Nelson for the space of two years from the issue of such certificate. " 35. Non-commissioned officers and privates in Her Majesty's army or the Royal Marine, who, being on service in New Zealand, shall obtain their discharge there (such privates being discharged with good-conduct certificates), shall, after a residence within the province of one ■ year after discharge, be entitled to receive a money certificate to the following amount: Noncommissioned officers, or equivalent to that rank in the sea service, £60; privates, marines, and seamen, £30. " 36. Every such money certificate shall at any time be received instead of money in payment, or part-payment, as the case may be, of the purchase-money of Crown land purchased within the province." The following general statutes and enactments were passed by the Legislature dealing with the granting of lands to those who had taken part in the warfare in New Zealand, viz. : — The Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1860. The Taranaki Settlers' Relief Act, 1860. The Hawke's Bay Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1861. The Naval and Military Settlers (Marlborough) Act, 1861. The Auckland Waste Lands Act Amendment Act, 1862 (sections v. vi, and xii). The Colonial Defence Force Act, 1862. The Colonial Defence Force Act Amendment Act, 1863. The Wellington and Hawke's Bay Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1863. The Taranaki Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1865. The Volunteers' Land Act, 1865. The Volunteers' Land Act Amendment Act, 1867. The Taranaki Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1867. The Naval and Military Settlers Act, 1869. The Volunteers' Land Act Amendment Act, 1873. The Volunteers and Others' Land Act, 1877. The above-named Acts and regulations indicate the legislation passed to provide for military settlers, and those who took part in the several campaigns necessary to overcome the different rebellions that arose. It is therefore now necessary to state what has been done in the past in the way of giving effect to these provisions, and to what extent the Government has issued land-giants and payments in accordance with the intentions of the Legislature. Returns have accordingly been compiled of the Crown grants issued under the above Acts, which may be summarized in the following manner : — Auckland Province. —Crown grants were issued to 4,272 persons for .">,%3 rural sections and 3,451 town sections containing 217,105 acres and 15 perches and 2,911 acres 1 rood 31 perches respectively. Taranaki Province. —Crown grants were issued to 1,190 persons for 1,227 rural sections and 116 town sections containing 84,596 acres 3 roods 10 perches and 113 acres 3 roods respectively.

Nelson Province. —Money certificates were issued to 38 persons representing a total sum of .£. r ),370, and Crown grants for land were issued for these certificates either to the persons who received them or to the persons to whom they sold such scrip. There was a special Commission appointed in 1872 by His Honour the Superintendent of Taranaki to inquire into and decide upon claims made under the Volunteer Land Act, 1865, and the Volunteer Land Act Amendment Act, 1867. This Commission reported in due course, and the names of the persons who were favourably recommended, together with the amount awarded, were published in the Taranaki Provincial Gazette. The reports show that 700 persons were admitted, and were awarded compensation to the extent of £13,645. There have been several inquiries or Commissions under the General Government —viz., in 1882. Commission consisting of Colonel Haultain and Messrs. Fulton and Bunny; in 1887, a Commission consisting of Colonel Gudgeon and Mr. "A. Crowe; 1889 to 1892, an inquiry by the several Commissioners of Crown Lands; 1896, Commission by Mr. J. C. McKerrow. These Commissions and inquiries may be summarized as follows : — £ 1872... ... ... Claimants admitted. 700, Amount awarded, 13,645 1882... ... ... ~ I Li) .. .-5,630 1887... ... ... ~ 234 ~ 7.440 1889 to 1892 ... ... ~ 921 ~ 42,567 1896... ... ... ~ 110 ~ 3,485 2,084 £70,7fi7 Making a total of 7,692 persons compensated with £70,767 ; scrip for £5,730 used in purehasp of land aiul Crown grants for 349,1 12 acres.

(10.) Every person who, having at any time heretofore received a remission certificate, shall produce conclusive proof that such certificate was absolutely destroyed by fire or other inevitable accident before the expiration of the time within which it could have been exercised. (11.) Any Volunteer who by command of his superior officer or the Governor took service in the Militia, and thereby lost his claim for full time of service as a Volunteer. The public were also notified that no claims would be considered from those persons who had previously received grants of land or money for naval, military, or Volunteer services, it being held that"if a person had once received compensation the door should not again be opened for his benefit. Notwithstanding this intimation, a number of persons sent in claims who, upon search being made, were found to have received either land or money for some service coming within the above definitions. Some other claimants admitted having received a grant for one service—say, as a Volunteer —but now asked for some consideration on account of Militia service. Any such cases have not been recommended. Schedules of the names of persons who submitted claims are appended, together with particulars as to the decision in each case. For convenience the names have been subdivided into those that have been admitted, and those who have been rejected. Each schedule has been arranged alphabetically to facilitate reference to the names of the claimants. I have, <tc. The Right Hon. the Minister of Lands. Wμ. C. Kensington, Undersecretary.
