GENTLEMEN,—I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the
5th instant, in which you tender the resigna-
tion of your seats at the Public Domains'
Board, and, in reply, to inform you that the
Government reluctantly accept such resigna-
tion; and, in doing so, have to return you
their thanks for your valuable services in im-
proving the Government Domain at Auckland,
and in rendering it so agreeable a place of
public resort and recreation.
Every one who remembers the neglected
waste which that Domain was three years
ago and visits it now will gladly acknowledge

how much the citizens of Auckland are in-
debted to you for its rapid transformation
into a picturesque and healthy promenade.
I have, &c.,
Wm. Fox.

The Hon H. Sewell, and the other
Members of the late
Public Domains' Board.

REPORT BY THE PUBLIC DOMAINS
BOARD
TO
THE HON. COLONIAL SECRETARY.

AUCKLAND, 5TH DECEMBER, 1863.

The existing Public Domain Board have
availed themselves of the meeting of the
General Assembly, to resign the charge they
now hold, with a view to affording the Legis-
lature an opportunity of reconsidering the
mode in which the Public Domain should be
administered; and in taking this step they
beg to submit the following Report.

The accounts handed to the Auditor of
Public Accounts (to the latest date), show
the Receipts and Expenditure of the Board.
The particulars of an arrangement for set-
ting apart a portion of the Domain for a
Cricket Ground, are set forth in minutes,
dated 10th February and 16th April, 1863,
copies of which are annexed.
The Board have taken a lease of a piece of
land, part of Hobson's Park, required for the
purpose of forming an approach to the
Domain from the head of the St. George's
