Enclosure 3 in No. 3. Mr. Edward Lugard to Mr. H. T. Holla.'d. Sir,— War Office, 21st January, 1871. I am directed by Mr. Secretary Cardwell to request you will state to the Earl of Kimberley that medals for service in New Zealand have been received in this office for 1,942 officers and men of the Local Forces in New Zealand, and for civilians who were employed in the Commissariat Transport Corps and paid from Imperial funds, as enumerated in the enclosed list. With the view to facilitate the issue of these medals, Mr. Cardwell would suggest, for Lord Kimberley's consideration, that the Government of that Colony, which has, it is understood, the means of identifying the persons named in the rolls from which the medals were prepared, should be intrusted with the task of distributing them, the rolls, which will accompany the medals, being returned to this Department at the expiration of two years from their receipt in New Zealand, together with such medals as may then remain unclaimed, either by reason of their not having been applied for, or on account of the persons for whom they were intended having died previously to the date of the General Order of March, 1869, notifying the grant of the medal. Should Lord Kimberley concur in this proposal, I am to request that you will move His Lordship to cause the necessary instructions to be given to the Colonial Government with the view to carrying it out, and at the same time to favour Mr. Cardwell with his opinion as to the manner in which the medals should be transmitted to New Zealand. I have, Ac, Edward Lugard.

His Lordship has instructed Sir George Bowen to conform to Mr. Cardwell's wishes in respect to the issue of these medals. In answer to the inquiry contained in the last paragraph of your letter, His Lordship would recommend that the medals should be forwarded to the Colony through the Crown Agents. I am, Ac, The Under Secretary of State, War Office. H. T. Holland.
