VOL. I.] WELLINGTON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1848. [No. 15.]
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 21st August, 1848.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-IN-CHIEF has been pleased to direct the publication of the following Extract from the Minutes of the Executive Council of the Province of New Munster, on the occasion of the departure of Her Majesty’s Ship Calliope for England.
By His Excellency’s command,
ALFRED DOMETT,
Colonial Secretary.
Extract from the Minutes of the Executive Council of New Munster, Saturday, 10th August:
"It was unanimously resolved that,
'The Executive Council feels it to be its duty, upon the departure of Her Majesty’s Ship Calliope for England, to be conveyed to Captain Stanley, and the officers and crew of that vessel, its acknowledgment of the services they have rendered to the Colony.
'In a time of considerable danger, when the Calliope was the only man-of-war in Cook’s Straits, the ready zeal and alacrity of her Commander in visiting the various points in danger, and in undertaking operations whenever required, upon an exposed and difficult coast, and that frequently in the winter season, mainly contributed to the preservation of confidence, and the prevention of serious evils, which a sense of insecurity ever produces in a young community.
'The Executive Council, feeling therefore how great a debt of gratitude the public owe to Captain Stanley, the officers and crew of the Calliope, for their devotion and gallantry in times of such difficulty, tenders them its thanks for the services they have rendered on the Southern Coast of New Zealand; and requests His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief to cause these its sentiments to be communicated to Captain Stanley.'
"His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief stated his entire concurrence in the sentiments expressed by the Executive Council, and said that he would with great pleasure communicate the same to Captain Stanley."
A true Extract.
Jo. Ormond,
For Clerk of Executive Council.
