Having reference to your letter of the 14th inst., in which you report that you are unable to preside at the Native Land Court at Ohinemuri, on the 2nd proximo, I have the honor to state that as the Court sitting at Maketu also on that day, may possibly be found more convenient in respect of proximity to your other business, I have assigned that Court to you in lieu of the one to be held at Ohinemuri.
