Provincial Secretary’s Office,
Dunedin, 31st January, 1871.

THE following communication having been received from the General Government on the subject of the introduction into the Colony of some Norwegian and Swedish emigrants, is published for general information.

Although the Provincial Government considers the present Provincial system of immigration to be sufficient and the best adapted to meet the requirements of the Province, yet it will gladly forward to Wellington any applications that may be received for the said emigrants, and will give every assistance to encourage their settlement in the Colony.

John L. Gillies,
Pro Provincial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 24th January, 1871.

Sir,—I have the honor to enclose a New Zealand Gazette, No. 66, of the 19th November last, containing a memorandum from the New Zealand Commissioners, stating certain steps which they had taken for the introduction into this Colony of some Norwegian and Swedish emigrants.

The “Celoeno,” I have since learned, left the English Channel at the commencement of November last for Wellington, with emigrants on board, a descriptive list of whom I enclose for your Honor’s information.

I shall feel obliged if you would inform me whether the Provincial Government of Otago would wish to have any of these emigrants sent to that Province; and, if so, I have to request you to be good enough to specify their number and description.

I have the honor to be Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
W. GISBORNE.

His Honor the Superintendent of Otago.
