again to Canterbury, and to cause a general subdivisional survey of the Reserve to be made in conformity with the arrangements of 1860. The Provincial Government readily undertook the survey and detached for this service Mr. John C. Boys, the District Surveyor, togethe*" with an assistant. Two Native Surveyors were engaged by the Runanga (at ss. per diem) to assist in cutting lines, driving pegs, &c. For the partition of the bush it was found necessary to increase the staff. For a full insight into the survey, I must refer the Government to the Map which accompanies this Report. I may briefly state that the bank of the river, the margin of the bush, and the boundaries of the Reserve, as shewn upon this Map, have all been re-surveyed by Mr. Boys; that every division line shewn upon the plan has been cut; and that all the lengths given are the results of actual measurements on the ground. It will be seen that in the open land one hundred and twenty-two (122) parcels have been allotted. These contain fourteen (14) acres each, with the following exceptions:—Nos. 7, 12, 19, 44, 53, 57, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 84, 91, 97, 100, 101, 103, 105, 110, 112, 115, 120, and 122. In some cases it was found necessary to make the farm a little more or less than 14 acres, in order to preserve uniformity in the shape of the block; in some an acre was added in consideration of the land being swampy; while in others the farms were made of limited extent to meet a decision of the Runanga. With the consent of the Natives, I made the following reserves for public purposes: — 1. A drain reserve, having a uniform width of half a chain, from the angle of the main road, at section 95, to the Korotuaheka stream. The fall in this line is such that an outlay of about £60 would suffice to drain the whole land on the Eastern side of the Tuahiwi Road. 2. A Reserve, one quarter of a chain wide, along the bank of the Korotuaheka, in order to secure to all in common the privileges of the river, (fishing, &c.) And 3. The site of the old Kaiapoi Pa, comprising five acres, which is intended to be set apart as a Native Cemetery. Vl.—The Allotment.
