No.60.
The Hon. the Colonial secretary to Mr. J. Hyde Harris, and other Residents in the Province of Otago.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Wellington, 23rd July, 1867.

Gentlemen,—

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, requesting that the moneys which have accrued from the occupation of a certain reserve in Princes Street, Dunedin, granted to the Superintendent of Otago, and which are now in the possession of the General Government, may be paid.

In reply, I have to state that the Government, after a careful review of all the circumstances of the case, is of opinion that the payment requested should be made, and will consider in what manner this can be legally effected.

I have, &c.,

Messrs. J. H. Harris, M.L.C., J. Cargill, M.H.R., J. Paterson, M.H.R., and others.
E. W. Stafford.
