Chief Justice declares treaty 'worthless' and a 'simple nullity'

17 October 1877


Today in NZ History, James Prendergast was the 
Attorney-General from 1865-1875. James Prendergast 
took the land from the Maori saying he would use it to 
build a school, but he never did. The Maori wanted the 
land back, but when they asked James said 
they could not have it back.
