E. W. STAFFORD.

(Separate.) Government House, Auckland,
1st June, 1867.

MY LORD, I have the honor to transmit a Memo-
randum of my Responsible Advisers, enclosing one
from the Attorney-General of New Zealand, relative
to an obstacle which a provision of the fifty-first
section of the 9th and 10th Vict., c. 382, apparently
presents to the bringing under the Land Registry
Acts, titles depending upon Crown Grants of land
executed in fulfilment of contracts contained in New
Zealand Company's Land Orders.

My Responsible Advisers request me to move
your Lordship to cause some Bill on the subject to
be introduced into the Imperial Parliament which
may remove the difficulty.

I have, &c.,
G. GREY.

The Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon.

Memorandum by Mr. Stafford.

MINISTERS have had under their consideration the
operation of the Land Registry Acts in New Zealand;
their attention has been drawn to an obstacle which
a provision in the fifty-first section of the 9th and
10th Vict., c. 382, apparently presents to the
bringing under the Land Registry Acts, titles
depending upon Crown Grants of land executed
in fulfilment of contracts contained in New Zealand
Company's Land Orders.

They submit a Memorandum on this subject by
the Attorney-General of New Zealand, in which all
the questions are fully discussed and certain remedies
suggested.
