No. 68.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 20th December, 1872.

Sir,—

In reference to my circular of the 4th inst., informing your Honor of the intended action of the Government as regards the amount of immigration proposed to be introduced into the Province of Wellington during the year 1873, I think it advisable to inform your Honor that the Government by no means desire that that letter shall be regarded as conveying the final decision, but that they will be prepared to reconsider the amount of immigration to be supplied to your Province, should your Honor be of opinion that the number may be advantageously altered.

I have, &c.,

His Honor the Superintendent,

G. M. WATERHOUSE,
For the Colonial Secretary.

Superintendent’s Office,
Wellington, 23rd December, 1872.

Sir,—

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your circular, No. 63, of the 20th instant, and in reply, I beg to refer you to the last paragraph but one in my letter of the 18th instant, addressed to the Hon. G. M. Waterhouse, for the number of immigrants it is desired should be introduced into this Province during the year 1873.

I, at the same time, invite your attention to the last paragraph of the letter referred to.

I have, &c.,

WILLIAM FITZHERBERT,
Superintendent.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO MODIFICATION OF THE FEILDING CONTRACT.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 5th November, 1872.

Sir,—

I have the honor to transmit to you the accompanying copy of a letter from the Hon. Colonel Feilding to His Excellency the Governor, asking for certain modifications in the terms of the contract entered into by him on behalf of the Emigrant and Colonists Aid Corporation.

As by section 7 of “The Wellington Debts Amendment Act, 1872,” no modification of this contract can be made without the concurrence of your Honor, I shall feel obliged if you will inform me whether you are prepared to assent to any of the proposals of Colonel Feilding, and if so, to what extent. If your Honor desires to confer with the Government on the subject, they will be happy to meet you for the purpose.

As it is very desirable that an answer should be sent to Colonel Feilding by the out-going mail, I trust your Honor will favor me with a reply at as early a date as a full consideration of this important subject will allow.

I have, &c.,

JOHN HALL.
