Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 8th May, 1844.
HIS Excellency the Governor directs it to

a Crown Grant for his claims, and Ten Shillings
for every additional hundred acres above the
first five hundred, according to the Ordinance.
Secondary or derivative claimants will pay Ten
Shillings per hundred acres, on the issue of
Crown Grants. The Colonial Treasurer shall
require proof of the payment of the Fee for the
Commissioners' final report previous to giving
credit to Claimants who shall have received per-
mission to exchange their lands for Govern-
ment Lands.
By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 9th May, 1844.
HIS Excellency the Governor directs it
to be notified that, under the existing
circumstances of the Colony—it is impossible
for the Government to survey the boundaries
of all lands awarded by the Commissioners of
Land Claims to the respective claimants without
causing such extreme delay as would be ruinous
to the parties interested, and most detrimental
to the welfare of the Colony.
Deeds of Grant—according to the following
form—will be filled up by such descriptions of
the lands and their boundaries as are furnished
by the Commissioners in their Reports—and
the Governor urges strenuously on the Claimants
the absolute necessity of their having a survey
made of the lands so granted to them—in con-
formity with the descriptions in such grants—
as soon as possible—in order to avoid future
doubts and litigation.
By Command,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Colonial Secretary.
