No. 26. — The Chief Commissioner to Mr, Commissioner Kemp

No. 26.
The Chief Commissioner to Mr, Commissioner Kemp.

Relative to Claims preferred by Ruhe. Land Commissioner's Office, Auckland, December 9th, 1860.

Sir,—

A letter addressed to His Excellency the Governor, from a chief named Ruhe, has been received at this office in reference to certain claims at Oruru,; but there is no means of 'ascertaining, except through you, whether the land is comprised within the claims recently settled by you, or whether it is a new piece of land.

If the, land is situated within the purchase already settled, no fresh claim can be admitted, but if it is land which he wishes to sell outside the Oruru Block, his best course is to confer with you on the subject.

I.have written to him accordingly, arid transmit the letter through you for your information and report

I have, &c.,
Donald McLean,
Chief Commissioner.

H. T. Kemp, Esq, J.P., &c.,
Bay of Islands.
