No. 5.
Mr. Sub-Protector McLean to the Chief Peotector.
Sir,—
New Plymouth, 2nd January, 1845.In fulfilment of His Excellency the Governor's desire that you should be furnished with a copy of the map of the block of land recently purchased from the Ngamotu Tribe, showing the extent and position of Jand reserved for the Natives, I herewith do myself the honour of enclosing the same. The Rev. Mr. Bolland, the clergyman of the Church of England resident here, being desirous of purchasing two acres of land reserved (No. 16 on the map), as it is a desirable site for a church and schoolhouse, I beg to inquire if there will be any objection to this proposal.
I have, &c.,
Donald McLean,
Sub-Protector of Aborigines.
Minute of Governor Fitzroy on the. Rev. Mr. Bollard's Application.
Mr. Clarke.—The right of pre-emption is waived in respect of this land, in favour of the New Zealand Company only, through whose agents alone a purchase can be effected within the 60,000 acres claimed by the said Company at Taranaki.
R. F.,
Governor.,
