No. 31.
The Hon. the Colonial Secretary to the Native Secretary.

Concerning Crown Grant to Wi Tako and Wi Tana for Reserve at Kumutoto. Colonial Secretary's Office, Wellington, 26th January, 1852.

Sir,—

Wiremu Tako, of Ngauranga, being desirous of obtaining a Crown grant for his land at Kumutoto, I am directed by the Governor-in-Chief to obtain from you a certificate that Tako and his younger brother, Wi Tana Poko, are the only Natives entitled to possession of the land in question. The land is registered as a reserve set apart for "the Natives of Kumutoto" It will be necessary to certify that no other Natives, having any claim to be included among those for whom the land was reserved, exist, or that, if existing, they acknowledge the title of Wi Tako and his brother.

I have, &c.,

Alfred Domett,
Colonial Secretary.

The Native Secretary.
