We are now able to publish copies of three proclamations issued by Sir George Grey when he filled the office of Governor of New Zealand, dated 3rd June, 1852; 10th August, 1852; and 30th September, 1852. It will be seen, by referring to these documents, that it is distinctly stated that the lots of reclaimed laud situated in Willis-street, when put up for sale by public auction would be sold with a right of frontage to the harbor. In one case the words “ frontage to harbor” are used, in the other two the words used are “ with water frontage to harbor.”
