He reta tēnei nā te rōia, kaitōrangapū hoki, a William Hughes Field ki te rōia matua a te kāwanatanga, e whakarārangi ana i ngā ngoikoretanga o te ture kaipupuri tekau’ i tāia ki roto ki te Ture Whenua Māori 1865. Kāti hei whakamāmā i ngā hoko, 10 anake ngā kaipupuri ka āhei ki ngā whenua iti iho i te 5,000 eka. Ka kōrero hoki a Field mō tētahi whenua 11 ngā kaipupuri. I te hokonga atu o te poraka rā, kāore te ingoa o tētahi i runga i te tiwhikete taitara. Kātahi ka tono a Field kia whakatikaina tēnei hapa makihuhunu o te ture.
