No. 7. — Mr. Commissioner Rogan to the Chief Commissioner

No. 7.
Mr. Commissioner Rogan to the Chief Commissioner.

Aotea.Has concluded the Purchase of Te Mata, Native Reserve. Auckland, 18th June, 1858.

Sir,

Referring to a correspondence between the Land Purchase Officer, and the Ngatimahanga Natives (58,435), wherein an arrangement has been entered into with Te Waka for the purchase of the remaining portion of the Mata Reserve for the sum of One hundred pounds (£100), I have the honor to state, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that I proceeded by appointment to Waiuku on the 13th instant, and paid over the above-named amount to Te Waka, when the Deed of Cession was executed (which is enclosed herewith), together with a description of boundaries; and I am not aware of any objection to the proclamation of this land in the usual manner, as the Native title has been extinguished.

I have, &c.,

John Rogan,
District Commissioner.

Donald McLean, Esq.,
Chief Land Purchase Commissioner, Auckland.
