Received instructions, No. 44/5 from Auckland by Mr. Ironside. Wrote the natives the description of George Ovington, who absented himself from Gaol. Mania, from Port Nicholson, states the land that he owns at Huatoki, Mr. Thatcher's section, is solely his and his brothers'; and they have no other land to cultivate on; but this they are not willing to sell.
