The omission of the item referred to was pointed out by the Provincial Government of Hawke’s Bay and on re-examination of the account it is found that the total sum paid to Wellington during the period from November, 1858, to June, 1869, has been twenty-eight thousand pounds and not twenty-five thousand pounds as shown in the statement accompanying my letter above referred to.
I enclose for your Honor’s information an amended statement of the sums paid with a memorandum by the Paymaster-General on the subject and an amended account current showing a balance of three thousand eight hundred and eighty-one pounds six shillings and seven pence due by the Province of Wellington to the Province of Hawke’s Bay and I have to request in terms of the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay Public Debts Apportionment Act, 1868, that your Honor will cause payment of that sum to be made to the Colonial Treasury for payment to the Province of Hawke’s Bay.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
W. GISBORNE.
His Honor the Superintendent, Wellington.

CORRESPONDENCE relative to the Introduction of a Body of Immigrants for Settlement at Fitzherbert, under the provisions of “The Wellington Special Settlements Act, 1871.”
Sir,
Wellington, 23rd April, 1872.
I beg to submit to your Honor the following proposals for introducing Immigrants to colonise the township of Fitzherbert, Manawatu.
1st. Government shall set apart and reserve Waste Lands of the Crown in and about the township of Fitzherbert, Manawatu, to the extent of Two thousand five hundred acres, more or less; such lands to be hereafter more clearly defined.
2nd. Such land shall be reserved under the provisions of the “Wellington Special Settlements Act, 1871,” part 2, for a period of eighteen months.
3rd. I understand that the block of land which the Government has at its disposal in the township of Fitzherbert, suitable for the purposes of the special settlers I propose, has been surveyed; and I request that I may be furnished with a plan, in order that intending Immigrants may be made acquainted with the proposed subdivision.
