The amounts in Shelly's and Tuawiki's Estates (£350) are in Government Debentures of £50 each, recovered from David Scott, who was a debtor to these Estates. The Debentures are held to be sold and their amount applied in payment of claims proved on Shelly's Estate, and to the representatives of Tuawaki, which will close these Estates. Part of the fund in Perry's Estate is in the hands of the Deputy Registrar at Nelson, and part of it is necessary to the recovery of outstanding debts due to the Estate under process of Court. The amount in Cheritt's, Rowand's, Harrison's and Craig's and part of Abbot's are in the hands of the Deputy Registrar (Mr. Strode) at Otago, who has charge of these Estates there, and are taken from his last returns. The amount in Wyllie's Estate has been considerably reduced by a payment under an award in the Schedule was made out.

In some instances funds are necessary to carry on the business of the Estates, to keep the receiver free of advances which he is obliged to make.

I, ROBERT RODGER STRANG, Registrar of the Supreme Court of New Zealand and Receiver of Intestate Estates for the Middle District of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that the above is a true and faithful account of all moneys belonging to Intestate Estates received and paid by me, and of all balances paid by me into the hands of the Treasurer of the Province of New Munster, from the first day of January, to the 31st day of March, 1851, both days inclusive.

Made and signed before me, Henry Samuel Chapman, Esquire, a Judge of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, at Wellington, the 5th day of May, 1851.

ROBT. R. STRANG, Registrar.

H. S. CHAPMAN.

I certify that the several amounts stated by this return to have been paid to the Colonial Treasurer and to remain in his hands are correct.

HENRY W. PETRÉ, Col. Treasurer.
