H. T. Kemp, Esq., Native Secretary, to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington.

In reply to your letter of the 24th September last, I have the honour to report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, that, in the presence of the Native proprietors and the other parties concerned, the spots of ground at Pipitea Pa were severally pointed out and marked, for which Crown grants have been requested by the chief Parata, on an intended lease to the Rev. J. Duncan, of this place, and by Heberly on behalf of his wife and children; in the arrangement of which all parties expressed themselves well satisfied.
