An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

Rental, past and present

Rental, past and present.

I may here notice that the annual rental received by the late Commissioners at the time of their resignation was £88 for the following leases: No. 1,250 acres, realized £30 per annum; No. 2, 200 acres, realized £20 per annum; No. 3, 200 acres, realized £30 per annum; No. 4, 100 acres, realized £8 per annum: total, £88.

Comparison may be made between this sum and that which I have before mentioned (£69 6s.) as being the actual receipts at present for Class No. 1, town and country reserves. I therefore-beg to state that the land comprised in Lease No. 1 has been sold; products of No. 3 paid over to Hemi Parai (see Return No. 1, country); No. 4 sold; so that I have only the amount of £20 (see Return No.) derivable from the rents of the late Commissioner towards the return of £69 6s now furnished by me.
