No. 14.
Mr. Mantell to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

Crown Lands Office, Otago 28th November, 1854.

Sir,—

I have the honor to report, for the information of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, that the final sum of £600 due upon the Murihiku Purchase has been paid by me to the Native owners. Half of the amount was distributed at this office on the 3rd instant, and the remainder on the 25th instant—the former to the late claimants of the eastern and western portion of the block, the latter to those of the central portion.

I have &c.,

Walter Mantell,
Commissioner.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary.
