The Bishop of Nelson, being duly sworn, states: I wish to put in the following letter the gross receipts for the actual year are as stated in that letter. I have since set down the exact rentals, with the increase for the years ensuing up to 1881, which should be appended to that letter. With respect to the alleged desire on the part of settlers at Motueka that the school should be made a European one, I would remark that I have never had any direct application from any one, in Motueka or elsewhere, to that effect, unless Mr. Jennings' letter in the Nelson Examiner of the 2nd June, 1869, can be considered such. I think it is a good expression of the views of some of the settlers who agree with Mr. Jennings, and might be included among the documents relating to the subject recorded by the Commission, although I do not agree with some of the allegations made in it.
