Memorandum.
Mr. Mantell.
Will you be pleased to communicate with the Superintendent of Wellington, and ascertain whether his Honour would recommend the sum of £200 being paid for the acquisition of the eel-weirs mentioned by Mr. White. I fear that, at this rate, the extinction of the eel-weirs at Whanganui would involve the extinction of the balance of the Land Purchase Fund of Wellington.
F.D. Bell,
Native Minister.
