Superintendent’s Office,

THE following Correspondence is published, by direction of His Honour the Superintendent, for general information.
READER WOOD,
Provincial Secretary.

Wellington, 22nd June, 1875.
To His Honour the Superintendent,
Auckland.
I have received your Honour’s messages (4) of yesterday. It is to be regretted that you will not see that this Government is disposed to do, and is doing, all that it can, consistently with its duty to the Colony, to assist the Provincial Government of Auckland in its present financial embarassment. I need hardly assure your Honour, however, that that circumstance will not be permitted to affect the course which Ministers have laid down for themselves, as regards provision for the immediate financial wants of the Provincial Treasury.
DANIEL POLLEN.

Grahamstown, 23rd June, 1875.
To Honourable Colonial Secretary,
Wellington.
Telegram of 22nd received. Pray take opinion of Solicitor-General if stoppage of capitation allowance was lawful or not. I am now advised it was unlawful. I have before pointed out that an advance of Six thousand pounds, to which I am satisfied this Province was lawfully entitled, was stopped. These acts and some others could not aid this Government. Nothing is, or has been, asked, or will be accepted, but legal rights. The course that I earnestly pray Ministers to lay down for themselves, and to adhere to, is to obey the law.
G. GREY.
