Commissioner Matson reported, 2nd May
1848, claimant not sent in plan of survey.

hereunto annexed, are hereby, on behalf of Her Majesty, required to produce, or cause to be
produced, such Crown Grants before the Commissioner of Land Claims, at Coromandel Harbour,
on the fifteenth day of July next.
In default of the above Grants being produced on the day and at the place above mentioned,
(unless the non-production thereof be accounted for to the satisfaction of the said Commissioner,)
the said Grants will, under the provisions of the aforesaid Act, be declared null and void, and
become so to all intents and purposes in like manner as if the same had been repealed in the
