Civil Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 12th April, 1849.

HIS Excellency the Governor-in-Chief has been pleased to direct the publication of the following letter from the Venerable Archdeacon SINCLAIR, for general information.

By His Excellency’s command,
C. A. DILLON,
Civil Secretary.


Vicarage, Kensington,
1st September, 1848.

SIR—I take the liberty of forwarding to your Excellency a plan of Juvenile Emigration, which my experience as Treasurer of the National School Society, and Chairman of the Kensington Board of Guardians, has suggested to me; and which appears well calculated to supply the colonies, to whatever extent they may require, with eligible settlers.

If I could prevail on any one colony to adopt the plan, even upon a moderate scale, I am persuaded the example would be followed by other colonies, not only to their own benefit, but to the great relief of the mother country. Persons acquainted with the colonies, as for instance, Messrs. Sidney, authors of the Handbook of Australia, are convinced that the proposed Schools of Industry, if once established, would be self-supporting.

I should consider it a great favour, if you would take the plan into consideration, and submit it to any parties in whose judgment you have confidence, and inform me of the result.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
With much respect,
Your faithful servant,
JOHN SINCLAIR.
