E—No. 6 Sec. VI.

Napier, July 1st, 1859. Sir,— With reference to the draft of regulations transmitted to you for the consideration of His Excellency's Government on the 23rd instant, I have now to transmit the copy of a letter from His Honor the Superintendent, urging certain objections to these regulations. These objections had been fully considered when the draft regulations were being framed, and while I admit fully the force of some of them, I am unable to see how they are to be met, or how the peace of this district is to be preserved, unless some regulations are passed to guide the Magistrates' decisions in cases of trespass. Will you have the goodness to lay His Honor's letter, with my marginal remarks thereon, before His Excellency's Government for their information. I have, &c, Donald McLean, The Assistant Native Secretary, Auckland. Chief Commissioner.

[Note.— No Report had been received from the Civil Commissioner oj Hawke's Bay District up (o the time of this paper going to press,"]
