I, the Honorable William Henry Adelbert Feilding, of 23 Lower Brook Street, in Grosvenor Square, Middlesex, in England, but at present residing at Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that, by Deed-poll or power of Attorney, bearing date the eighteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, under the seal of the Emigrant and Colonists Aid Corporation (Limited), and signed by certain of the Directors of the said Corporation, I am their legally appointed Attorney, and, by virtue thereof, I am empowered, on behalf of the said Corporation, to execute the within-written Deed. I have not received any notice of the revocation of the said Power of Attorney in any manner howsoever, and I verily believe the same to be now subsisting and in full force.

A Justice of the Peace for the Colony of New Zealand.
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 9th March, 1872.
SIR,—
I have the honor to inform you that the subject of the disposal of the funds received for the sale of portions of the land included in the second Schedule of “The Wellington Debts Act, 1871,” has been brought under my notice, through a sum of two hundred and seven pounds nineteen shillings having been paid to the Public Account by the Receiver of Land Revenue in terms of the Act already mentioned.
As the Province only desires that the sum of £75,000 shall be raised under that Act, and the General Government already hold bills to an equivalent amount, received from Colonel Feilding, on behalf of the Immigrants’ Aid Society for a purchase of a portion of the land, and as payment on account of such land will have to be made by the General Government, as required by “The Public Works and Immigration Act, 1871,” I have directed that all moneys other than the proceeds of those Bills, received for sales of that land, shall be paid over from time to time to the Province.
I have, &c.,
W. GISBORNE.
His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington.
