Mr. F.
Tuckett to Mr.
J. J. Symonds, Police Magistrate.
"Deborah," off Waikawaite,
22nd April, 1844.
Sir,—
Mr. Barnicoat not having complied with my instructions in reference to, effecting a survey of this roadstead, and alleging, as the ground of such omission, your interference and. disapprobation (notwithstanding that he had urged that he was assured by Mr. Jones that such proceeding would be perfectly satisfactory to the aboriginal inhabitants and himself), I have to request you will furnish me with the name of any proprietor or proprietors of land at Waikawaite on whose behalf you may. have acted in thus frustrating one of the objects of my present enterprise.
I have, &c.,
Frederick Tuckett.
J. J. Symonds, Esq.
