TO THE PUBLIC. Having* to my very great surprise, seen in the New Zealand Government Gazette of January the Ith instant, and the two subsequent publications, an announcement of certain allotments ot land on the eastjbank ot the Tamaki creek being- about to be submitted to sale; on Thursday the 16th cfay|ot February next, the same being my fairly purchased, and undisputed property (as proved before the Land Commissioners): I do therefore most earnestly protest against and deny the seizure and sale of all those allotments or portions of land specified in the atoresaid announcement in the New Zealand Government Gazette, the said lands being my property. And, in order that no person may hereafter unknowingly be led to purchase any portion o r portions of those lands, which are mine, and which were fairly purchased from native chiefs—their rightful owners—in the year 1836 (one thousand eight hundred and thirty-six), as proved before the -Land Commissioners in 2842 (one thousand eight hundred and fortytwo), I do in this public advertisement give the boundaries of the said lands—viz: On the west, by the Tamaki creek, running over the portage Otahuhu into Manukau ; on the north and north-east, by the bay or inlet running between waiheke and Mataetai; on the south, by the creek; on the south and south-west, by the Awa #ata running in the direction of Papakura.
