No. 6.
The Chief Commissioner to H. S. Wardell, Esq., R.M.
Sir,—
The sum of £260 advanced on the application of the Bishop of Wellington in aid of the Papawai School having been charged against the Five-per-cent. Fund accruing out of the sale of certain blocks of land in that district (Wairarapa District), and it being necessary that any charge on that fund should be made with the concurrence of the Natives interested, I have the honour to request that you will be good enough to ascertain from the Natives whether they fully concur in the appropriation of the above-named sum of £260 to the purpose specified by the Bishop of Wellington.
