No. 4.
The Chief Protector to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

As the Natives of the Thames are in the habit of locating themselves in Cooper's Bay when they visit the town, on allotments already purchased by private individuals, I do myself the honour to propose to His Excellency the Governor that the Allotment No. 89, in that bay, which has not yet been sold, be reserved for the benefit of the aborigines for the following purposes, viz.: First, as a location for the Thames Natives visiting His Excellency the Governor; secondly, for a site on which may be erected a Native church and schoolhouse to which may be attached a cemetery; and, thirdly, that the remaining portion of the allotment be leased, to realize a fund for the support of a Native school.
