His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington,
to the Hon. W. Gisborne.
Superintendent’s Office,
Wellington, January 9th, 1872.
Sir,—
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 8th inst: in which you state that the account which has been made out by the Treasury between the Provinces of Wellington and Hawke’s Bay has not been satisfactory to the Superintendent of the latter Province and request me to supply the Government with a return of all moneys received by the Province of Wellington since the 1st November, 1858, from or on account of Hawkes Bay as contributions towards the interest on the provincial Debt.
In reply I write to say that as the award made by Mr. Curtis was final as between the two provinces I beg respectfully to decline to do anything which may bear the appearance of re-opening the question of accounts as between such Provinces.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
WILLIAM FITZHERBERT,
Superintendent.
The Honorable W. Gisborne,
Colonial Secretary.
The Hon. W. Gisborne to His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington.
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 13th January, 1872.
Sir,—
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th January inst. in which your Honor declines to furnish an account of moneys received by the Province of Wellington from or on account of the Province of Hawke’s Bay, since 1st November, 1858, which I had in my letter of the 8th requested your Honor to supply.
I now enclose the copy of a memorandum by the Assistant Treasurer, from which your Honor will perceive that I had no intention of asking for anything which would re-open the award, but merely for information to enable proper effect to be given to it.
I trust that with this explanation before you your Honor will reconsider the matter and not continue to decline to afford the information asked for.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
W. GISBORNE.
His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington.
The Hon. W. Gisborne to His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington.

Sir,—
Referring to my letter of the 3rd May, 1871, transmitting a statement of the account between the Provinces of Wellington and Hawkes Bay under the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay Public Debts Apportionment Act 1868, I have to call your Honor’s attention to the omission from statement of a sum of three thousand pounds paid to the Province of Wellington on this account on the 11th May, 1861.
