MINUTES of a PUBLIC MEETING

held at Thomas's Hotel, Mangonui, in Doubtless Bay, Oct. 2nd, 1840.

CLEMENT PARTRIDGE, Esq., IN THE CHAIR

1st Resolution - Moved by Mr. W. Butler, seconded by Mr. Skelton.
That the Landed Proprietors of this Harbour contemplate with feelings of surprise and regret, the iniquitous attempt made by the Governor and Council of New South Wales to deprive them of their property, in direct opposition to the solemn assurance of Her Majesty's Government, viz., "That in the event of British Authority being established in New Zealand, all bona fide Titles to Land acquired from the Natives would not be disturbed by any proceedings instituted by the Crown."

2d - Moved by Mr. Flovel, seconded by Mr. Smyth,
That the Native Chiefs of New Zealand have been acknowledged independent by the British Government, consequently, they have an undoubted right to dispose of their Lands as they think right. The Members of this Assembly, therefore, look with surprise on the pitiful means used to subvert that right by a clause in the Act of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, that would deprive all persons from acquiring a just title from the Natives.

3rd - Moved by Mr. G. Skey, and seconded by Mr. M'Kinney,
That the Members of this Meeting are unanimously of opinion that a Government emanating direct from the Mother Country, is absolutely required, to meet the demands of Justice in the rising Colony of New Zealand, as they can place no confidence in the Legislators of a Penal Settlement, who can have but little sympathy or community of feeling with the free and independent Settlers of this country.

4th - Moved by Mr. H. Smyth, and seconded by Mr. Butler,
That the value Land has acquired in this country is entirely owing to the arrival of [Europeans]; consequently, any attempt to fix a price per acre on purchases made previous to the establishment of British Authority here, would inflict the grossest injustice on the white population for the sake of making an ostentatious shew of superabundant liberality towards the Natives.

5th - Moved by Mr. Skelton, seconded by Mr. Flovel.
That the Land limited by the Act of the Governor and Council of New South Wales, as the maximum quantity, to be granted, is quite inadequate to maintain even a small herd of cattle or sheep in this country, where there is no grass; consequently, the progress of the dairy would be retarded, the inhabitants deprived of beef and mutton, and compelled to live on pork alone, or to purchase the sea junk that arrives from other Colonies.

6th - Moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by the Revd. G. Skey,
That this Meeting is firmly resolved to aid all other Associations in New Zealand and Sydney, in a cause so deeply involving the interests of the Landowners of this country, and to resist in every possible way, in a legal manner, the unjust attempt to deprive them of those rights they have richly earned by encountering the comforts of civilization, still submitting to voluntary exile in the wilds of New Zealand.

It was finally moved:
That the thanks of this Meeting be given to Mr. Partridge for His able and sympathetic conduct in the Chair.
