This document is not a court judgment. It is a historical note from 1883 from the Queensland Department of Lands, exhibited as evidence (Exhibit M) in the famous Mabo native title case. The note relates to land administration on Murray Island (Mer) in the Torres Strait. As an administrative record from the colonial era, it formed part of the historical evidence considered in the Mabo litigation regarding the nature of land tenure and sovereignty in Queensland. The document itself contains no legal reasoning or judicial determination—it is simply a piece of historical evidence filed in the proceedings.
