213 Hereford Street, Christchurch, 25th May, 1911. Dear Sir, — Re Section 89, Kaiapoi. We enclose herewith agreement for sale and purchase, from Rickus to Judson, of Section 89, Kaiapoi ; also conveyance of the same land from Rioki Tauwhare and Rickus to Judson. There was no agreement for sale and purchase from Tauwhare to Judson, but we enclose a receipt dated Bth December, 1910, for £75, given by Tauwhare to Judson on account of purchase-money for this section. Rickus has altogether received £32 10s., so far, as his share. Re Section 64, Kaiapoi. There is a lease of this section from the successors to William Morris. Date of lease, 17th December, 1910 ; term, fourteen years from Ist July, 1911 ; rent, £1 19s. per acre ; how payable, yearly in advance. This lease has not yet been confirmed. The rent has been paid by the lessee to ourselves, who are now holding it pending the result of the Commission of inquiry. Re Section 113, Kaiapoi. We omitted to mention to you that Hana Pohio, one of the successors to Horomona Iwikau in this section, has since the date of the succession order purchased the share belonging to her sister. We regret that we are unable to forward you any documentary proof, but Hana Pohio has gone South, and it is quite impossible to get hold of her. Yours faithfully, His Honour Judge Rawson, Native Land Court, Wellington. Bishop and Gresson.
