Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland 3rd May 1862.

THE following despatch from Her
Majesty’s Principal Secretary of
State for the Colonies, is published for
general information.

William Fox.

Downing-street, 2nd Feb., 1862.

SIR,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of
your despatch of the 20th October, “Separate,”
with the accompanying documents, in which
you report the dismissal of Major Cooper and
Mr. Broughton, from Her Majesty’s Service.

The conduct of Major Cooper, in his se-
duction of a young native girl, and in his subse-
quent attempts to regain possession of her is so
grievous, and the importance of checking such
scandals on the part of the colonists in authority
is so great, that—although I am generally much
averse to re-opening charges which have been
once dismissed—I find it impossible to arrive
at any other conclusion than that both Major
Cooper himself and Mr. Broughton who assisted
that vicious matter, were properly dismissed from
Her Majesty’s Service.

... Governor...
... I have, &c.,
Newcastle.

Sir George Grey, K.C.B.,
&c., &c., &c.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 22nd April, 1862.

HIS Excellency the Governor has been
pleased to make the following appointments
in the New Zealand Volunteers...

William Fox.
