for, provided he fulfilled the conditions of Stocking, &c.

Although all the Applications were always to be seen by any one desiring it, and accordingly they could have decided themselves as to their rights of priority, they would often content themselves with asking me what those rights were. If in consequence I told an Applicant he was the first for any particular run, I suppose he construed it into a promise he should have that run.

This was no more than promising him he should have all he was entitled to, and such a promise Mr. Collins may have had from me; but I should add that I never gave any such promise (viz.—that the first Applicant should have the run applied for); where the run applied for appeared to be either excessive, or so selected as to give the Applicant an unfair advantage, or to lock up or render useless any otherwise available extent of country.

I have the honor to be,

Your Honor’s

Most obedient humble servant,

(Signed) Alfred Domett,

Late Commissioner, Hawke’s Bay District.
