No. 15.
The Chief Protector to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

I have the honor to apprize you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that I have agreed with the Native chief Davis, on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, for the sum of Forty pounds (£40) as a compensation for land surveyed and sold to Mr. Heather and others on the Manukau Road by the Government, amounting in all to about two hundred (200) acres, more or less, a deed of which has been prepared and duly signed by Davis; and I have to request that an authority may be given to the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer for the payment of the same.
