✨ Government Correspondence and Resignations



Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, July 28th, 1857.

Sir,—
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Honor’s letter, No. 106, of the 26th instant, in which you inform me that you have issued writs for the election of two members of the Auckland Provincial Council—there being but a single vacant seat in that body.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Honor’s most obedient servant,

E. W. STAFFORD.

His Honor
the Superintendent,
Auckland.

Panmure, 28th July, 1857.

Sir,—As His Excellency’s Government has refused to dissolve the Provincial Council of the Province of Auckland, and as I consider that the legislation of the Province cannot be satisfactorily carried on for the benefit of the people thereof, by the present Council, constituted as it is;—I therefore beg to resign my seat in your Honor’s Executive Council.

I have, &c.,
JOSEPH BRENNAN.

To His Honor
the Superintendent
of the Province of Auckland.

Kohuora, 28th July, 1857.

Sir,—I beg to tender to your Honor the resignation of my seat in your Executive Council.

Understanding that the General Government have refused to dissolve the Auckland Provincial Council, after having expressly promised it I feel that there is no other step for me but to resign my share in your Honor’s Government.

I have the honor to remain,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
W. BUCKLAND.

Superintendent’s Office, Auckland,
July, 28th, 1857.

THE following letters are published for general information.

J. WILLIAMSON,
Superintendent.

Sir,—I beg to resign my seat in the Executive Council of this Province.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
FRED. WARD MERRIMAN.
27th July, 1857.

His Honor
the Superintendent,
Auckland.

To His Honor
J. Williamson, Esq.,
Superintendent of the Province of Auckland.
