Gentlemen of the Legislative Council—
At the close of the recent session of the Imperial Parliament an Act was passed to Grant a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand. I have been in daily expectation of receiving the official copy of that Act, accompanied by the Instructions necessary to enable me to bring it into immediate operation; and I was consequently anxious, if practicable, not to have assembled the Legislative Council until it was in my power to have laid before you the Instructions, which would have possessed so high a degree of interest both for yourselves, and for the entire Colony.
