Memorandum by Commissioner McCleverty.

The Crown grants for Port Nicholson and Porirua give absolutely 209,000 and 68,000 acres to the New Zealand Company. Boundaries on the land side are undefined, except as an irregularly-dotted line. The plans and correspondence show that the whole areas of the blocks were not intended to be vested in the Company, the Native title not being extinguished to certain portions of the blocks. The original Crown grants, with the plans attached, are in the possession of Mr. Kelham.
