REMARKS.
Of the remaining 72 Claims yet to be investigated, about 60 have been partly heard, and will be very shortly decided.
It is estimated that about 1200 Grants will be required in respect of the claims already sent in. The great majority, however, of the claims of absentee proprietors have yet to be brought before Government, and probably the whole number of grants that will have to be prepared for the Wellington settlement will not be much less than 2500.
