Copy of a letter from Mr. A. Mackay, to Commissioner of Crown Lands, Dunedin.

Sir,—

I have the honour to enclose herewith for your information a schedule of the lands awarded by the Native Land Court at its recent sitting at Dunedin, to sundry Natives, in final extinguishment of all claims or demands contained in or created by a certain Deed of Purchase of the 12th day of June, 1848, and referred to the Court by an Order of Reference under the hand of the Hon. John Hall, a Member of the Executive Council of New Zealand; and to request that you will be pleased to take the necessary steps to withhold from sale the land included in the aforesaid schedule.

Enclosed, I beg to hand you copies of the Orders of the Court respecting the said lands.
