No. 24.
Mr. Commissioner Rogan to the Chief Commissioner.

With reference to a correspondence, numbered 58-645, connected with the purchase of a block of land called Kaukapakapa in the Kaipara District, I have the honor to enclose herewith a deed of sale and conveyance of the same which was executed by the Native owners, for which the sum of Five hundred pounds (£500) was paid on the 8th instant.

This purchase includes Honey's Grant, excepting a strip of land which is colored yelow on the plan drawn on the margin of the deed; this the Natives could not be induced to surrender.

I also enclos a description of boundaries for proclamation in the New Zealand Gazette.
