SIR,—With reference to my letter of the 28th
ultimo, conveying to you the sanction of
His Excellency the GOVERNOR to the Emigrants
sent out by the Manukau Land Company, being
permitted to settle on the "Manakau," I do
myself the honor to inform you of the terms on
which the parties sent out by that Company, will
be permitted to hold permissive occupancy of the
Land mentioned.

The Emigrants will be allowed to locate on the
"Manukau," on the express understanding, that
they occupy such land on sufferance only, until
the pleasure of the Secretary of State shall be
known on the subject.

They will also be permitted to cut firewood and
timber from the land adjacent, with the reserva-
tion of trees exceeding 20 inches in diameter, and
saplings under 6 inches.

I am further directed by the GOVERNOR to ac-
quaint you, that in the event of the land so held
by the Emigrants sent out by the Manukau
Company, being hereafter sold by the Govern-
ment, the parties holding permissive occupancy
of the same, will be allowed one month to remove
their houses.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
