Mr. Commissioner Kemp to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

I have the honor to transmit herewith two plans named in the margin for the purchase of which the sum of two hundred and fifty (£250) pounds has been paid.

I beg to enclose, for the information of the Government, the copyof a letter in which Mr. Barstow was good enough to favour me with his opinion before the purchase was finally made. In that opinion I beg respectfully to concur, and trust that, the purchase of, these lots will meet with the approval of the Government, as it will be the means of giving additional value to the Kawa Kawa Block, and afford easy access from the harbour whenever it shall be settled upon.
