No. 51. The Hon. the Colonial Secretary to the Chief Surveyor. $„,,— Colonial Secretary's Office, "Wellington, 29th April, 1865. I have the honor, by direction of Mr. Weld, to ackowledge the receipt of your letter, forwarded through Dr. Knight, on the 17th instant, on the subject of the operations of your department, with reference to the location of the immigrants. Mr. Weld does not doubt that you have been anxious to expedite the work in question, and regrets that your efforts to do so appear to have been impeded. I have to request you to transmit, as soon as possible, a copy of your letter to Dr. Knight, as there is not time to send him one by this mail from this place. I have, &c, Major Heaphy, Chief Surveyor, W. Gisisorne, Auckland. Under Secretary. No. 52. De. Knight to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary. •yjjj _ Auckland, 21st April, 1865. I have the honor to report in reference to the Tuakau Block, that, in accordance with the instructions prepared for my guidance, I offered to the Provincial Government, in a letter addressed to the Superintendent, on the 17th instant, to dispose of the Tuakau Block for £18,000 cash; I find by the Eeport of the proceedings of the Auckland Provincial Council, that his Honor strongly urged upon the Council the purchase of the block on the terms offered by the General Government, but that the Council nevertheless rejected the proposal. As the Provincial Executive has urgently called upon the General Government to provide suitable lands for cash sales in order to carry out the present settlement scheme successfully, and as the General Government has required me, on the rejection of the offer of the Tuakau Block, to take immediate stews for sale, I at once called the attention of the Superintendent to the proceedings of the Council, ana informed him that inasmuch as the Council, which alone had the power to appropriate the public moneys of the Province, had rejected his Honor's proposal to purchase the Tuakau Block, it will be my duty, in order to provide funds and to carry out the views of both the Provincial and General Governments, to take steps for the immediate sale of the land.
