American and British Claims Arbitration Tribunal1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 May 2017

Extract

American traders acquired certain lands in the Fiji Islands by purchase from native chiefs years before the cession of the islands to Great Britain in 1874. After the cession, Great Britain established a board of land commissioners to pass upon the validity of titles to land in the islands, and by 1882 more than 1,300 claims were passed upon.
