THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.. 137
GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES, —
I have to congratulate you on the continued increase of the Population,
Exports, and Revenue of the Colony—an increase which during the past
year has been unusually rapid. In anticipation of the approaching expiry
of the term of duration of the present House of Representatives, you will be
invited to consider a measure for increasing the number of the Members of
the House, and for re-distributing the Representation so as fairly to adjust it
to the altered state of the Colony.
Under existing circumstances your attention will doubtless be princi-
pally directed to subjects connected with the Native Insurrection.
Measures on various matters of Importance have, however, been prepared,
and will be submitted for your consideration, comprising a Bill to facilitate
the Transfer of Real Property, by the establishment of a Land Registry, a
Bill to regulate Joint Stock Companies, with other measures for the
amendment of various branches of the Law.
It only remains that I should express my earnest Hope that, in the
Circumstances under which you are assembled, your deliberations may be
guided by the Spirit of Wisdom, and may contribute to the enduring welfare
of the People of this Colony.
Printed and Published by W. C. WILSON, for the New Zealand Governmen at the Printing Office,
Shortland Crescent.
