No. 40.
The Hon. the Colonial Secretary to His Honor the Superintendent, Otago.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Wellington, 3rd June, 1865.

Sir,—

In your Honor's letter of the 20th April last, on the subject of certain water frontage reserves in the town of Dunedin, you conclude by stating that you would lay the whole case before the Provincial Council of Otago for the expression of their opinion thereon.

As I understand that the Provincial Council of Otago has passed certain resolutions on that subject, I regret that your Honor should not have yet communicated them to me; and as the General Government cannot continue to delay a decision on the question at issue, I have to request your Honor to be good enough to forward to me a copy of those resolutions by the return of post.

I have, &c.,

Fred. A. Weld.

His Honor the Superintendent, Dunedin.
