Colonial Secretary’s Office,

Auckland, 3rd May 1862.

THE following despatch from Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, is published for general information.

William Fox.

Downing-street, 2nd Feb., 1862.

SIR,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 20th October, “Separate,” with the accompanying documents, in which you report the dismissal of Major Cooper and Mr. Broughton, from Her Majesty’s Service.

The conduct of Major Cooper, in his seduction of a young native girl, and in his subsequent attempts to regain possession of her is so flagrant, and the importance of checking such scandals on the part of the colonists in authority is so great, that—although I am generally much averse to re-opening charges which have been once disposed of—I find it impossible to arrive at any other conclusion than that both Major Cooper and Mr. Broughton who assisted him in this matter, were properly dismissed from Her Majesty’s Service.

I have, &c.,
Governor...
Newcastle.

Sir George Grey, K.C.B., &c.
