No. 5.
Mr. Tinline to Mr. Brunner, Government Surveyor.
Sir,—
I am directed by His Honor the Superintendent to request that you will hold yourself in readiness to proceed with the party who are going to Massacre Bay on the 30th or 31st instant, as you will be required to go to that district to make a survey of the newly acquired block of land, and to lay off two reserves in it for the Natives, the particulars of which will be given you before you go.
The Commissioner of Crown Lands will also have some instructions for you relative to the survey of the Tata Islands.
I have, &c.,
John Tinline,
Clerk to Superintendent.
Thos. Brunner, Esq.
