Correspondence relating to the Manawatu-Rangitikei Purchase.
Survey, &c., of Native Reserves.

(No. 1.)
The Hon. D. McLean to his Honour the Superintendent, Wellington.

Native Office, Wellington, 2nd November, 1871.

Sir,—

From intelligence received from Rangitikei, I am glad to be able to inform you that Mr. Carkeek is progressing satisfactorily with the survey of reserves in that district. I beg to suggest to your Honour that it would be most advisable that the Native reserves should be accurately defined and laid out before the subdivision of the lands for sale and settlement. In almost every instance where this step has been omitted, delays have occurred and differences with the Natives have frequently arisen, which might otherwise have been easily avoided if this necessary preliminary had been more fully attended to.

I have, &c.,

Donald McLean..

His Honour the Superintendent, Wellington.
