REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF
IMMIGRATION FOR THE PROVINCE
OF NELSON.
The Board of Commissioners of Immigra-
tion have prepared the accompanying statement
of receipts and expenditure for the year 1857.
The only existing liability of the Board is
the debt of £2,000 to the Board of Trustees
of the Nelson Trust Funds.
Want of funds compelled the Commissioners
to suspend all operations for the introduction
of immigrants in the latter part of the year
1856. Notice was accordingly sent to the
Emigration Agent in England to enter into no
fresh arrangements for sending out emigrants
beyond what the sum remaining in Mr.
Tytler's hands at the end of the year 1856
would warrant. In December of that year
the Emigration Agent was informed, that in
consequence of the state of the funds his en-
gagement would terminate at the expiration of
six months from the date of his receiving
the notice. Mr. Macdonald's engagement
accordingly terminated on the 9th of Novem-
ber last.
The sum left in Mr. Tytler's hands, after
payment of Mr. Macdonald's salary to the
date last mentioned, amounted to £168 4s. 8d.
The sum due to the Board by persons who
have entered into security for the repayment
of passage moneys is £2,690 5s. 2d. Of this
sum no less than £2,161 10s. 4d. is owed by
immigrants who have been sent out by the
Emigration Agent, on their own security for
the repayment of the cost of their passages.
The balance, £528 14s. 10d., is still owing
by residents in the province who have become
security for their relatives and others.
In addition to the above sum of £2,161
10s. 4d., the sum of £517 9s. will become
due in August next from immigrants sent out
on their own security.
The Commissioners recommend that what-
ever funds accrue for immigration purposes
should be employed in the introduction of the
relatives and friends of residents in the pro-
vince by the advance by the Board of the
passage money, on security being given in the
settlement for the repayment thereof in full.
