No. 14.
Mr. Mantell to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

Sir,—

I have the honor to announce to you the conclusion of my negotiations relative to the "Port Levy Block," and to transmit to you the Native receipt for the amount (£300) awarded and distributed to them by me, with an annexed map of the lands, the Native title of which has been extinguished by this payment.

I enclose also a map of the only reserve in the above district.

Besides the stipulation mentioned on the receipt for the money, I have, on the part of the Government, guaranteed that a small grave at the head of Pigeon Bay, where an infant child of John Tikao is buried, shall be undisturbed until a cemetery be consecrated there, when, should it not include this grave, the remains are to be removed to it.
