Upon which I gave in this document (List of Ground-rents, see appendix B in letter C)[letter] in to the Governor, shewing that if there had been one mistake, there had been eleven mistakes, all in one day. I pointed out that three of the eleven were specially mentioned as having been transferred to Chun-atsoo, previous to the payment of 26th February; from which I said it was perfectly clear that the other eight had not been transferred.
No explanation was given by the Governor, by the Acting Colonial Secretary, or by anybody whatever, in answer to this important
Return of Crown Rents paid by D. R. Caldwell, Esq., for the Half-year, ending on the 25th December, 1857.
