Responsible Minister
Colonial Secretary               1853-1854

Agency Dates and Status
These are inferred partly from the Appropriation Ordinances and the Returns of Revenue and Expenditure (in OPGG), and partly from knowledge of records of Registrars of Deeds in other parts of New Zealand.

It is unfortunate that no records are known to be extant for the office, as its status as an agency or otherwise cannot be confirmed.  It is also more difficult to discern the exact dates of the agency's existence.
