Nelson, 5th April, 1860.

Sir,—I have much pleasure in complying with the request of the Provincial Council of Nelson to forward to your Honor the enclosed copy of a resolution passed unanimously last night by the Council, relating to the gallant conduct of the settlers and sailors engaged at the battle of Waireka.

I need not assure your Honor how heartily the members of this Government and myself concur with the Council in this expression of the feelings excited in the community of Nelson by this most creditable and gratifying affair, the consequence of which, whether the war be speedily finished or long continued, cannot fail to be in the highest degree beneficial.

I have, &c.,
J. P. ROBINSON,
Superintendent.

Copy of Resolution passed by the Provincial Council of Nelson on Wednesday the 4th April, 1860.

That His Honor the Superintendent be requested to convey to the Superintendent and settlers of Taranaki, the expression of the admiration felt by this Council and the community of Nelson, at the very gallant conduct of the Taranaki Volunteers and Militiamen, and of Captain Cracroft and the officers and seamen of H.M.S.S. Niger, at the recent battle of Waireka—conduct which this Council feels not only reflects the highest credit upon them, but has placed all the colonists of New Zealand under a lasting obligation.
