Plans at the Survey Office, Wellington, show that a part was granted by Sir George Grey to James Heberley, and other parts to certain Natives, including Hare Parata. It thus became part of Pipitea Pa. Parliamentary return F.-4, 1871, shows it as part of Moturoa settlement, and part granted to Hare Parata and others. Section not included in McCleverty awards.

Grant to Wiremu Tako Ngatata— Section 19 .. .. .. . . .. . . .. . . 10 0 Reference, L.T. Warrant No. 36. This section is shrouded in mystery. It was not included in Mein Smith's selections, and was therefore not originally a town-acre reserve. Smith's selections were actually one short. In 1847, however, it was shown as a reserve on a plan signed by Colonel McCleverty. This plan is attached to the Crown grant for Wellington, and is therefore the official plan. Colonel McCleverty did not include the section in his awards, but in 1873 it was Crown-granted to Wiremu Tako Ngatata. There is nothing on record at the present day, either in the Lands or Deeds Office, to show how Wiremu Tako became entitled to the land. Section situated corner Epuni and Aro Streets.
