A statement of the claim by Mission of £4,000 against the estate of the Three Kings? In the absence of detailed accounts I am unable to specify the exact amount of Mission money expended from time to time, but I know that the buildings were erected and the farm was made partly by grants of money from the Government, and to a great extent by funds supplied by the Missionary Society, besides which for many years the Mission paid the whole stipend of the minister whose services were devoted to the management of the institution, and I believe that my estimate is far below the amount which has been thus expended. I have, &c, James Buller, To T. Heale, Esq., Commissioner, &c. Chairman of the Wesleyan Mission, &c.

Enclosure 5 in No. 10. Minute of Additional Evidence by the Bey. B. Burrows. Dr. Waddington is the sub-lessee of the School Estate at Te Awamutu, with the exception of the large building, and about thirteen acres of land about it; he is also the occupant of the last portion and building, under an agreement by which he is to hold it until the termination of the lease of the large estate, at a rent of £6 10s. per annum. I think I mentioned £12 as the rent; I find on reference to the book that he is only to pay ten shillings per acre for the land, and nothing for the house ; the house being large and of little use, he in fact was put in occupation chiefly for its preservation. I give this as part of mv evidence. Eobert Burrows. Auckland, 17th April, 1869. Theoph. Heale, Commissioner.
