Sir,—In reply to your Honor’s letter, No. 131, of the 11th instant, in which you forward and recommend the Code of Regulations, for the setting, disposal, and occupation of the Waste Lands of the Crown in the Province of Auckland, adopted by the Provincial Council during last Session, I have the honor to inform you that these Regulations have been approved by the Governor in Council and that a Proclamation issuing and putting them in force from the first of October next, will be published forthwith.

With reference to the 4th Clause of those Regulations enabling the Governor if he shall think fit, within three months after the extinguishment of the Native Title to any land, to sell and dispose of the same or any part of it, to the person or persons at whose instance such extinguishment shall have been effected, I have the honor by His Excellency’s direction to state that the views of the Imperial Government expressed in the despatch cited in the margin [18th May, 1859,] (published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 27th ult.) on the subject of the “Native Territorial Rights Bill, 1858,” will preclude His Excellency from the exercise of the power conveyed by that clause.

I have, &c.,
