Superintendent\'s Clerk.
Waipureku,
Dec. 8, 1859.
SIR,—We, the undersigned inhabi-
tants of this District who are constant-
ly crossing the Waipureku Ferry, beg
to bear testimony to the very efficient
manner in which the present ferryman,
John McKinnon, has conducted the
ferry since he has rented it.
He has been sober, honest, and obli-
ging in every respect; at the same time
being originally a nautical man, under-
stands the management of a situation
of the sort, where so much depends on
the safe transit of passengers and valu-
able goods.
We therefore confidently recommend
him to take charge of the Waipurek-
Ferry under the Provincial Govern-
ment.
