No. 13.
The Chief Protector to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

On referring to the New Zealand's Company's plan of the Town of Wellington and to the adjacent country sections, I observe that, instead of one-eleventh being reserved for Natives, as agreed upon by the directors of the New Zealand Company, there is not a twentieth reserved for them. I have the honour therefore to submit to you; for the consideration of His Excellency, that the deficiency should be supplied. As however it might be inconvenient for the Company's agent to make up the deficiency from the district already located, I submit that if should be made up from the new districts about being opened to emigrants for selection.
