Otago, Dunedin, 19th March, 1851, Sir, — With reference to the interim arrangements for administering the Lands in this Settlement, I have the honor to submit for the consideration of your Excellency the following points, on which it appears to me that some steps should at once be taken. The first of these points has reference to the road lines laid out in the original surveys and as they still appear on our maps, but which, in my opinion, would require to be forthwith revised and altered, because of the construction of such roads upon these lines having been found impracticable, and because of the inconvenience and expense that must attend a deviation from them alter the lands have been chosen ; whilst on the other hand no one could demur or ask compensation if the new and practicable lines were laid down at the time of his choice. It must be observed by the e closed Extracts of my Despatches to the Principal Agent, as per margin, that attention had already been cdled to the subject; and in the first of them, which conveyed my rem rks upon the report of Mr. Eelix Wakefield generally, that I considered the point in question so very urgent as to have submitted the necessity of having the new lines of road immediately laid out; but the position of the Company at the time must have been the cause of this request remaining unnoticed.
