Minute by Governor Gore Browne.
I concur in all that the Native Secretary says. I am satisfied that the time has arrived when some permanent arrangement for the better government of the Native districts must be made; and I have Jong been of opinion that a portion of the money obtained by the sale of land over which the Native title has been extinguished ought to be expended in the locality from whence it is derived.
