No. 23. The Hon. W. Gisborne to Mr. H. J. Tancred. (No. 300.) Sir, — Colonial Secretary's Office, Wellington, 29th April, 1872. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, enclosing three sets of Regulations on the subjects noted in the margin, passed by the Council of the University of New Zealand. The regulations will be submitted to the Cabinet, but I would draw your attention to the circumstance that those appropriating funds purport to come into force on the 13th day of October, 1872, and therefore would be inconsistent with the views of the Government, as stated to you in my letter No. 83, of 31st January last, and No. 138, of the 27th February last, that the Government could not at present assent to regulations involving appropriations for a longer period than one year from the 12th day of October last. I have, &c., The Chancellor of the New Zealand University, W. Gisborne. Christchurch.

In reply I have to inform you that the Government is advised that the second regulation, viz., " nine terms must be kept before degree of 8.A.," is not clear, and it should be made more apparent whether or not the intention is that Otago students are to pass the University examination. (As at present drawn it would seem not.)
