Body, make to His Excellency upon the
subject.
It must, however, be understood, that if
any portion of the Province is proclaimed a
Hundred, nothing contained in the foregoing paragraphs will prevent the Governor
und r the authority of the Royal Instructions of the 12th of August, 1850, from
authorising the application of any proportion not exceeding one-third of the gross
proceeds of the Sales of Crown Lands within
such Hundred, to such purposes as shall be

Sept. 13, 1853.
SIR,—I am directed by Governor Sir
GEO. GREY to inform your Honor that
as sites for Towns and Villages, Reserves for
Public Purposes, and Districts to be comprised within the Limits of Hundreds, will
be frequently required in lands either recently acquired from the Natives, or which
have been for some time in the possession of
the Crown, it will be the duty of the Com-
missioner of Crown Lands to make such reserves for the above purposes as he may
think necessary, reporting the same for the
information of the Governor.
"It will also be in your Honor's power
to request the Commissioner from time to
time to make such reserves as may appear
to your Honor to be desirable, and it will
be the duty of the Commissioner, upon the
receipt of such instructions, to set aside such
lands, reporting the same as in the former
case for the approval or disallowance of the
Governor. He will also report to your
Honor whether he has or has not recommended such reserves for approval ; and, in
the event of a difference of opinion, what
are the reasons for such difference.
Whenever any fresh tracts of country are
acquired from the Aborigines, the Commissioner has been instructed that under no
circumstances whatever is he to permit such
lands to be thrown open for purchase, until
your Honor shall have had an opportunity
of submitting for the consideration of the
Provincial Council whether any, and what
Reserves of the nature referred to in the
first paragraph of this letter, should be made
in such Districts.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your Honor's most obedient
humble servant,
ALFRED DOMETT,
Civil Secretary.
His Honor the Superintendent
of the Province of New Plymouth.
