Sir,—

I am desired by the Select Committee of the Provincial Council upon Message No. 4, relative to a reserve, Dunedin, to request that you would be so good as to attend at the office of the Secretary for Public Works, at half-past 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, to give evidence relative to the reserve of the water frontage of the City of Dunedin, and any alienation of the said frontage and to bring with you any documents that you may have that may throw light upon the subject of such reserve, or of such alienation, if made.
