Sir,—
I have received your Despatch No. 66, of the 29th May last, transmitting a copy of the address with which you opened the session of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, and in which you stated that a Bill to empower the Governor of New South Wales to appoint Commissioners to examine and report on claims to grants of land in New Zealand would be proposed for the consideration of that body.
