Sub-Enclosure 3 to Enclosure in No. 22. [Memoranda may be shown to applicants.] The Colonial Treasurer is requested to withhold payment of the undermentioned salaries until further instructions, and to inform the gentlemen filling the offices below named that, in consequence of the New Zealand Company's Agent having refused to provide certain funds to enable the Government to complete arrangements with regard to land purchases which had been entered into with the Natives by the Government for and on behalf of the New Zealand Company, the Government have been compelled to advance those funds themselves, and thereby temporarily to inconvenience the public service. I trust, however, that in the course of a few days, at the furthest, it may be in my power to direct the payment of the salaries temporarily withheld, to enable the Government to keep faith with the Natives in the arrangements above alluded to. Officers whose salaries and allowances are to be withheld until further instructions, &c.: Lieutenant-Governor (salary, £66 13s. 4d. ; forage, £9), £75 13s. 4d. ; Native Secretary, £16 13s, 4d.; Clerk, Private Secretary's office, £10 Bs. 4d.; Colonial Secretary, £33 6s. Bd.: total, £136 Is. Bd.
