VOL. I.] WELLINGTON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1848. [No. 16.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 4th September, 1848.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-IN-CHIEF has been pleased to direct the publication of the following correspondence for general information.
By His Excellency's command,
Alfred Domett,
Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 4th September, 1848.
Sir,
His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-IN-CHIEF having had under his consideration the correspondence which passed between the Colonial Department and the New Zealand Company, between the 17th December, 1847, and the 29th February, 1848, inclusive; and having considered the various subjects raised in that correspondence, understands it to be the sincere desire of the New Zealand Company to exist in cordial harmony with all its settlers; and to recognize all claims against them on the part of their Land Purchasers (even those resting on moral obligations) in a spirit of justice and liberality.
For these purposes they propose to leave certain cases to the decision of the Governor of New Zealand; stipulating, however, that the entire arrangement should be effected by him without the intervention of any person whatever.
The various demands upon the time and attention of the Governor, and his unacquaintance with many subjects, a knowledge of which would be indispensable to the proper performance of the duties it is proposed to devolve upon him, preclude him from undertaking these duties in person. His Excellency, however, feels so strongly the advantages which would result to the Government, the Colony, the New Zealand Company, and its Settlers, from an adjustment of the various questions now open, that he is prepared without delay to appoint persons to carry into effect the proposed arrangements, in so far as they relate to the following extract from the New Zealand Company’s letter to Lord Grey, of the 17th December, 1847:--
