D.—2b,

The only fault connected with Kati Kati Settlement, is the fact of being so small in area, and unless you kindly grant my request, I will be compelled to decline some most eligible families. Of course this small portion, if granted, will not remain open for such special settlement after Ist January, 1876. I have, &c, Honorable Julius Vogel. George Vesey Stewart.

Enclosure No. 4. Hbn. Sir J. Vogel to Mr. G. V. Stewart. 7, Westminster Chambers, Victoria Street, Westminster, S.W., Sir,— Bth April, 1875. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of April the 3rd, asking me " to extend the area of the Kati Kati Special Settlement Block," as shown upon the plan which was enclosed. In reply, I have to say that I am not able to entertain your application. I have, &c, George Vesey Stewart, Esq. Julius Vogel.
