Neat in the opinion of this meeting it is in the highest de-
to staimPortant that the supply of labour from these kingdoms
lak.t" oUth Wales should be encouraged and promoted by all
keef.leable means, and that every possible facility and encourage-
consistent consistent with the existing law of the land, should be
,t, th'ist,4 to_ an persons engaged in supplying
.it. Ina Report
Wsi,-"'"rnmittest of the Legislative Council of New South
pi.ths, they state `• that to permit immigration to be suspended
et ejstlcrin its extent, would be to seal the death-warrant
lan-ta"4"11 prosperity, and to expose to certain ruin the

tam in the Gdonv,";and it may also be truly affirrnil that any
,tals teaa, ht,e suppl.y of labour to. N..e.w.So.uth la ales is also cal-

,"!elise,„4%,°lonial authorities, under the a !ministration of Sir
'Cs' "`"‘ "onrke to have been a most valuable means of ob-
teg the '
itit I;enecessary supply of Labour, and to have conferred
_
12,000 :lefit on the Coiony. It is estimated that upwards of
Ills s Persons emigrated to New South Wales last year under
