-
A memorial has been presented to me
(a copy of which will be laid before you) on
behalf of the mechanics and labourers who
formed part of the earliest settlers in this pro-
vince, asking compensation for injuries sus-
tained by them in consequence of the non-ful-
filment of engagements made with them by the
New Zealand Company. I hesitate not to call
your attention to their claims, and if in any
measure you may adopt to investigate them
you should be satisfied of their being well
founded, it will afford me much satisfaction
to aid you in any endeavour to render them
justice. -
Estimates of the probable receipts and
proposed expenditure will be submitted to you
without delay. You will perceive, on reference
to the latter, that I have made various reduc-
tions, which, while curtailing the expenses of
the Government, will, I trust, not interfere
with the efficient working in those depart-
ments in which such reductions have been
made. -
Any other subjects upon which I may
deem it advisable to address you I shall take
an early opportunity to call your attention to
by message.
J. P. ROBINSON,
Superintendent.
