No. 2.
Report on Letter (24th March, 1852,) of Tame and Petera claiming Quail Island, in Port Cooper; and on that of Wikitoria, requesting that, if further payment be given for that island, the money be given to her, and not to the above claimants.
Neither of these claims has the slightest foundation; the assertions on which Tame and Petera base theirs is untrue. Quail Island, Te Kawakawa, was included in the Port Cooper purchase, aud paid for with the rest of the land. I did not promise it as a reserve. Descriptions of all the reserves promised by me will be found in the deed of sale.
