that draughts of a new charter for the government of
New Zealand, and also of la new commission and in-
structions to the Governor, having been submitted to,
and approved by, her Majesty,iri. Council, these docu-
ments, as soon as the necessaiy-forms have been com-
pleted, will be published in tlle London Gazette, in
conformity with the, provisiolii:of the Act passed in
the last session of Parliament; from which they derive
their authority. As the change which will thus be
effected in the constitution .f .the colony must neces-
sarily be regarded with great interest by the New
Zealand Company, and as the.: legal instruments, of
.which the publication has be-ek' prescribed by Perlis-
merit, might not by thepakeltea- be very easily intel-
Jigible, I am further directed: to transmit to you, for
the information of the directors and shareholders of

INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNOR GREY.
• Downing-Street, Dec 23, 1846.
Sir,—you will have been apprised, long before your
'receipt of this dispatch, that iA'the last session of Par-
liament the Act which I now .Mielose was passed for the
better government of New Zealand. The motives which
'suggested such an enactment:are best explained by a
general reference' to the correspondence between your-
self and preceding governors of this colony on the one
hand, and myself and my predecessors in office on the
other. Any more specific retrospect would, for my im-
mediate purpose, be superfluous. It is enough to say.
that the necessity of a fundamental change in the sys-
tem adopted by the charter of November, 1840, has been
insisted on by all parties to theAscussion, and that then
is an almost equally unanimouilhoncurrence among them,
in the opinion that the chang*.should be in the direc-
tion of calling the settlers to !participate much more.
largely in the business of legislation and local self-go-
vernment. The accompanying Act is accordingly
framed on that principle.
For institutions establialie4, under the charter of
November, 1840, it contemplatee,the substitution of mu-•
nicipal. corporations for the government of each separate
district of New Zealand whiclo.'er which shall be set-
tled by:colonists of European :birth and origin. Every
such district is to be•erected into ;'a borough; every such
borough is to elect a common Ootticil, from which are to
be chosen a mayor and a ei)ot of aldermen ; every
such common council is to ele'ee Members to serve in a
House of Representatives, for Ming one of the three
estates of a Provincial Assembly; For this purpose the
whole of New Zealand is to be.divided into two or more
provinces. In every such Provincial Assembly laws will
be made for the province by th:ni.House of Representa
tives, •by a Legislative Council, ;and by the Governor,
who, together, will constitute tlio',Provincial Legislature.
But, as there are• many ,topicCof general concern to
all the inhabitants of New Zegand, respecting which
some uniformity of legislation-Mad of administration will
be indispensable, it is further;•bipvided, that a General
Assembly of the New Zealand Islands shall be holden
by 'the ,Governor-in- Chief. That' General Assembly will
be composed of himself, andi'et a Legislative Council,
und.of House of Representatiyss. But no one will be
a member of the Legislative-':Council of the General
Assembly who is not also a member of one of the Legis-
latiie Councils of the Provincial Assemblies ; neither
will any one be a member of ,tlke,.House of Representa-
tives of the General AssemUlyiwho is not a member of
one of the Houses of Repreaetifetives of the Provincial
,
Assemblies.
In order to adapt, the system- of the local executive
Government to this scheme .o:provincial and general
legislation, the charter (if the•rnore text of that instru-
ment be alone regarded) prdvidee for, and supposes, the
creation of five different officeii...., They are a Governor-
in-Chief of New Zealand, a-G6iernor of each province,
and a Lieutenant-Governor, of 'each. But the actual
appointment of five .such distiori officers forms no part
of the design at present entdrtiltned. It is proposed to
Addi:ess to the same person the ckimmissions of Governor.
in-Chief and of Governor of either province;,and to ad-
dress to.another person the'boilamissions of Lieutenant-
Govyrnor for each. Althotigli,;ivith a view to precision
and to various teatnical consldeiations, all the offices in
question' are menitiemed -in- theicharter as distinct, they
will anis (at least for the *sent) be combined in the
hands.astwo persons only. ,••
Of these, the higheit—wh6W,lll be at once Governor
and Governor-in-Chief—will be the official superior of
the other, who will be designate in each province as the
Lieutenant-Governor of it. _'relation will not be one
of mere
(precedency and but will carry with it
effectiie authority on' the one -and, with subordination
and obedience on the other hanyl:. To the Governor- in-
Chief it: will belopgexclusivftto correspond with :her
Majesty's Secretary of Stew:A:laying the department of
the colonies. To the Lieutenant-Governor it will belong
to correspond exclusively witk the Governor-General.
The authority and control exercised by the Secretary of
State over the Governor-in-plkif will, by the Governor-
in-Chief, be exercised over the Lieutenant-Governor.
That-authority will extend evO.ti to the suspension of tin
Lieutenant-Governor from Office, if unhappily the niece-
sikt, for so extreme .a mteasure should ever arise.
The Governor-in-Chief wilLix his own place of resi- •
dence according to his own': estimate of the greater 'or
less demand for his presence It one or in the otherpro
vince. :But, wherever he may be, he still acts as Governor
of the province in which he may be resident, and
Governor-in-Chief of the viliale%of New Zealand, direct
ing andScontrolling the acts te.the Lieutenant-Governor
as often as he may think any such control or direction.
•.-,
requisite.

.. . . .
To provide for the stdm'inietration of the executive
government of either previnc4 from which the Governor-
in-Chief may absent himself it will be in his choice,
according to his view of the exigencies of the public
service, either to cal,l ortthe Lieutenant-Governor to
reside and to act for him there, or to appoint a Lieu-
tenant-Governor for the purpose, whose appointment
will be made to terminate on the Governor-in-Chiefs re-
turn and resumption of his own office as Governor of
the province for which such temporary appointment may
have been made. You will, find that the necessary
pdwers.for this purpose are f rested by the charter.
In favour of this scheme `of .municipal, legislative, and
executive polity, I rely on the following considerations :
—lt is framed with as close. an adherence as circum-
stances would allow to the, rnodel of our English insti-
tUtions, an object which I 'regard as of the highest
importancia in every such design. It adheres as nearly
as practicable to that scherae of colonial policy once
diffused over the greater. part of the North American
Continent, and still surviving iti our remaining colonies
there, and yet to bedistinctljt traced in the constitutions
of the flourishing states .new united into the great
American commonwealth.
~,It provides for the 'owe
self-government of districte m a country where the dis
oersion of the settlements is'such as to render any one
Central authority incompeteirt to that task. But while
public spirit and a practical acquaintance with publie
affairs will thus be cherished 'in every part of New Zee-
land, the erection of provincie and provincial assemblies
will, I trust, counteract the•tendency which such corpo
rate institutions must otherwise have to disunite, in
interest and in feeling, the various remote districts
from'each other. Natural:,' causes forbid the combi-
nation of all those districts is the choice of members tic
serve. in single assembly for the whole of New Zealand;
but: two such, assemblies at:present, and perhaps more
than two such hereafter, may be sufficient to consolidat..
'lnd' cement and protect the. interests of the various se-
parate boroughs. To prevent.:those intercolonial contests
or such frequent occurrence elsewhere, and to watch
over the generalu interests ,of the whole country, the
General As,
those interests, and with no.taher function. The circum-

service.

To.this project it has been objected, that it introduces
a system too complicated to be easily understood or
efficiently executed. The answer to that objection 1
think is, that the inevitable conditions of the praetica
problem to be solved were more than usually numerous
and complex. So wide is the extent of the whOle terri-
tory', so remarkable the dispersion of the settletnent6
there, so many the impediments to rapid intercourse be-
tween them, and so strangely contrasted the habits and
characters of the different races of the inhabitants, that
it became necessary at leaat to attempt the reconcilement
of opposite and yet co-existing dangers. There was tilt
ganger of enervating all the springs of Government b)
the undue dispersion of separate authorities, and then
was the danger of impeding the useful action of the

Government by an uadue centralization of its powers.
In the Act which was submitted to and sanctioned by
Parliament, her Majesty's Government attempted as far
as possible to escape from both of these difficulties.
Whether the scheme adopted affords the best attainable
reconcilement of them or not, it will scarcely be denied
that they were serious difficulties, and admitted of no
safe solution of a short and simple character.
But, in framing the Act, her Majesty's Government
were not forgetful of their extreme liability to error when
acting in reference to a state of things so remote from
their observation and from their own personal expe-
rience in the business of civil administration. It was,
therefore, studiously provided that the adaptation of
this law to the local circumstances of New Zealand
should be transferable to those who should bring to the
discharge of that duty the greatest amount of local
knowledge and the best opportunities of ascertaining the
state of public opinion amongst the colonists. The broad
outlines of the scheme having been partly drawn by Par-
liament, and the Queen in Council being authorised to
complete these outlines, her Majesty was also empowered
to delegate to the Governor-in-Chief the duty of filling
up all the various details ; and so wide aro these powers
of delegation as to supply a remedy for any errors of
mere ignorance or oversight into which her Majesty's
confidential advisers may have unconsciously fallen.
I now transmit to you four instruments for carrying
this Act of Parliament into effect. Of these the first is
a new charter for the government of New Zealand. It
is little more than a mere creation of the powers, muni-
cipal, legislative, and administrative, which the Act of
Parliament authorises the Queen so to create. It re
neals the charter of 1840, leaving it, however, to the
Governor-in-Chief to determine at what time the new
oharter shall be promulgated wail brought into operation.
You will observe that the ACt of Parliament enables
;ler Majesty for a limited time to continue in force, as
regards the province of New Ulster, the charter of 1840.
When this measure was submitted to Parliament there
seemed reason to believe that it might be desirable to
make a distinction between the northern and the southern
settlements, with regard to the time at which the intended
change in the form of government should come into ope-
ration; but more recent information has led to a different
conclusion, and, aocordingly, her Majesty has not been
advised to avail herself of the power with which she was
invested in this respect.
The second instrument is the series of instructions
under the royal signet and sign manual to which the
charter refers. This, as will appear in the sequel, is the
instrument in which the plan of the new constitution is
exhibited in all the detail in which it has been possible
to prepare it in this country. Technical reasons, into
Which I need not enter, render it highly convenient to
snake the instructions, rather than the charter, the
channel of signifying the royal pleasure at full length
and circumstantially.
The third of the accompanying documents is your own
appointment as Governor-in Chief of New Zealand, and
is Governor of each of the provinces into which those
islands will be divided.
The fourth and last instrument constitutes Mr. Eyre
Lieutenant-Governor of each of the two provinces which
,t is now proposed to establish.
It may be convenient that I should in this place point
out how vacancies in these offices are to be filled provi-
sionally, whenever the necesssity for such provisional
appointments may arise- If the Governor-in-Chief
should die, or otherwise create an unexpected vacancy,
the following is the order in which the various officers
capable of a provisional succession will be called to it,
each later designation always supposing the absence
from New Zealand of any person bearing the immedi-
ately preceding designation. In tho case supposed, then,
the provisional succession will devolve, first, on the Go-
vernor of New Ulster; secondly, on the Governor of
New Munster; thirdly, on the Lieutenant-Governor of
New Ulster, if appointed immediately by the Queen;
Fourthly, on the Lieutenant-Governor of New Munster,
if appointed immediately by the Queen; and fifthly, on
the senior officer for the time being in command of the
Queen's troops in New Zealand.
On the death or absence or other vacancy of the office
of the Governor of either province, his office will be
tilled by the Lieutenant-Governor of it.
On the death or absence or other vacancy of the office
of Lieutenant-Governor of either province, the vacancy
will be filled provisionally by an officer to he appointed
o) the Governor-in-Chief. I have already observed,
that Lieutenant- Governors so appointed will not stand
in the line of provisional succession to the general go-
vernment.
Provision being thus made for establishing the muni-
cipal, the legislative, and the executive ;institutions of
New Zealand, there is a virtual accomplishment of ad
that is necessary for its future government. From those
institutions will flow all subordicate powers, judicial,
fiscal, magisterial, or of whatever ether nature they may
be. The respective Legislatures will progressively
mould these derivative organs of government into such
forms as the exigencies of society shall require. To a
great extent it will be competent to those Legislatures
so to mould even the instution which the charter itself
creates, by regulating the elective franchise and the
whole system of elections, municipal and legislative,
care being taken that no such enactments be either re-
pugnant to the text or at variance with the spirit of
the Act or of the charter. To prescribe fundamental
rules, and to create an authority for the better adapta-
tion of them to the real wants of the colony, is the only
function which the Queen or Parliament have assumed
to themselves, or could properly have assumed.
At first sight it may appear that something more than
this has been aimed at in the accompanying royal in-
structions. They are unavoidably copious and minute ;
but they will be found rather to impart powers than to
lay down inflexible rules ; and so wide is the field over
which the subject ranges, that even to accomplish this
design has unavoidably led into many elaborate and pro-
tracted details.

; To render those details as clear and as useful as may
be, they are drawn up, not in the usual form, but in a
ieries of'chapters, -each of which is subd;ivided into sec-
reference to the powers under which the instructions are
Loos-, the:whole being introduced by one comprehensive
- issued, and by one equally comprehensivi► declaration of
1
ilia .royal pleasure.. that they shall be ob:serred. Much '
tautology and useless repetition is thus airoided.
Believing that the instructions, as thus' prepared, will
be found to -convey their meaning perspicuously and
- completely, I abstain from any attempt -to recapitulate
or to explain their ,provisions. i turn to other topics, on
which it seems indispensable that on the present occasion
I should convey to you explanations forw hich, of course,
no appropriate place could be found in t he legal instru-
ments already mentioned. I advert especially to what
relates to the aborigines of New Zealands and the settle-
ment of the public lands in those island';.
I cannot approach this topic without i:emarking, that
the protracted correspondence to which iit has given rise,
the public debates and resolutions which have sprung
from it, and the enactments and measur es of your pre-
decessors in the Government, have a'd contributed to
throw into almost inextricable confusiot 1 the respective
rights and claims of various classes and individuals
amongst the inhabitants of New Zealand 1, to render very
embarrassing the inquiry into which pea must doubtless
be engaged respecting the line of cc nduct which her
Majesty's Government expect you to pi i rsue, and at the
same time to make it almost impossible, for us to deter-
mine, with any confidence, what that o anduct ought to
be, and how far, in a state of affairs so c omplicated, it is
possible now to act upon the prineiplos to which, in the
absence of theso difficulties, I should have prescribed
your adherence. I will not attempt e lay retrospect of
those documents and proceedings ; .I should but be
adding to the perplexity which I Reis, aowledge and re-
gret. It shall be my attempt rath e:r to explain, as
briefly as the nature of the subject adi :nits, what is the
policy which, if we were unembarrased 1)y past transae-
(ions, it would be right to follow, and s vhich (so far as
my freedom of choice remains to us) 0 ii ght still to be
adopted, regarding the right of proper' ) r in land, which
should be acknowledged or created, ri c Ire especially as
affecting the aborigines of New Zealand.
I enter on this topic by observing thest the accompany-
ing statuteS9 and 10 Victoria,. chap. 164 t , see. 11, repeals
the Australian Land Sales Act, as far r relates to lands
situate in New Zealand. Thus there is a complete ab-
sence of any statutory regulations on thiis subject. The
Queen, as entitled in right of her c Town to any waste
rands in the colony, is free to make whatever rules her
Majesty may see fit on the subject. The accompanying
charter accordingly authorises the G. avernor to alienate
such lands. 'I he accompanying instr actions direct how
that power is to be used. I proce ed to explain the
motives by which those instructions l lave been dictated.
The opinion assumed, rather that i advocated, by a
large class of writers on this and kind' ed subjects is, that
he aboriginal inhabitants of any cots ntry are the pro-
arietors of every part of its soil of which they have been
accustomed to, make any use, or to wh, leh they have been
sceustonied to assert any title. This claim is refire-
' sontedis shered; -however ignorant sue: h natives may be
:if the -artsasr, of the habits of chills' 3( i life, however
spoil the number' of their tribes, bows r
er imperfect or
occasional the mes they make of the 1 and. Whether
they are 'noiliadsc tribes despasturing et ittle, or hunters
living' by thb'ehase, or fishermen frecits enting the sea-
coasts or.. the -banks of rivers, the pro: prietary title in
question is alike ascribed to them all.
From this doctrine, whether it be rat tintained on the
grounds of religion, or of morality, or , if expediency, I
entirely dissent. What. I hold, to be ti ae true principle
with regard to property in land is that which I find laid
doWn in the following passage from , the works of Dr.
Arnold, which I think may safely be a,,ccspted as of sa•
but also because it WAS . written, not with
thority upon. this subject, not only , 311 necownt of his
high character,
reference to passing events, or to any ( !ontroversy which
.vas at that tune going on, but as A! ;siting a principle
which he conceived to be of general al )plieatioe:—
" Men were to subdue the earth; tt sat is, to make it
by their labour what it would not has re been by itself;
and with the labour so bestowed upon it came the right
of property in it. Thus every land In .hich is inhabited
at all belongs to somebody ; that it I, there is either
some one person, or family, or triba 5, or nation, who
have a greater right to it than attsy -one else has; it
does not and cannot belong is mrybody. But,
so much does the right of proper t, go along with
labour, that civilised nations ha re sever scrupled
o take possession of countries inht sbited only by tribes
Of savages—countries which have b eon hunted over, but
never subdued or cultivated. It is true, they have often
gone further, and settled themselve A in countries which
were cultivated, and then it becoomer i a robbery; but when

)ur fathers went to America and took possession of the
mere hunting-grounds of the Indians—of lands on which
man had hitherto bestowed no labour—they only exer-
cised a right which God has inseparably united with in-
dustry and knowledge."
The justness of this reasoning must, I think, be gene-
rally admitted, and if so it can hardly be denied that it
is applicable to the case of New Zealand, and is fatal to
the right which has been claimed for the aboriginal in-
habitants of those islands to the exclusive possession of
the vast extent of fertile but unoccupied lands which
they contain. It is true the New Zealanders, when
European settlement commenced among them, were not
a people of hunters; they lived in great measure, at
least, upon the produce of the soil (chiefly perhaps its
spontaneous produce), and practised to a certain extent
a rudo sort of agriculture. But the extent of land so
occupied by them was absolutely insignificant when
compared with that of the country they inhabited; the
most trustworthy accounts agree in representing the
cultivated grounds as forming far less than one-hun-
dredth part of the available land, and in stating that mil-
lions of acres were to be found where the naturally fer-
tile soil was covered by primeval forests or wastes of
fern, in th• midst of which a few patches planted with
potatoes were the only signs of human habitation and
industry. The islands of New Zealand are not much less
extensive than the British Isles, and capable probably of
supporting as large a population, while that which teey
actually supported has been variously estimated, but
I believe never so high as 200.000 souls. To contend
that u»der each circumstances civilised men had
not a right to step in and to take possession of the
vacant,territory, but were bound to respect the supposed
proprietary title of the savage tribes who dwelt in, but
were utterly unable to occupy the laud, is to mistake
the grounds upon which the right of property in land is
founded. To that portion of the soil, whatever it might
be, which they really occupied, the aboriginal inhabit-
ants, barbarous as they were, had a clear and undoubted
claim ; to have attempted to deprive them of their
patches of potato ground, even so to have occupied the
territory as not to leave them ample space for shifting,
as was their habit, their cultivation from one spot to an-
other, would have been in the highest degree unjust';
but so long as this injustice was avoided, I must regard
it a vain and unfounded scruple which would have ac-
knowledged their right of property in land which re-
mained unsubdued to the uses of man. But, if the savage
inhabitants of New Zealand had themselves no right of
property.in land which they did not occupy, it is obvious
that they could not convey to others what they did not
themselves possess, and:that claims to vast tracts of waste
land, founded on pretended sales from them, are altoge-
ther untenable. From the moment that British domi-
nion was proclaimed in New Zealand, all lands not
actually occupied in the sense in which alone occupation
can give a right of possession, ought to have been con-
sidered as the property of the crowa, in its capacity of
trustee for the whole community, and it should
thenceforward have been regarded as the right and
at the same time the duty of those duly authorised
by the Crown, to determine in what manner, and
according to what rules, the land, hitherto waste
should be assigned and appropriated to particular indi-
viduals. There is another consideration which leads to

the same conclusion. It has never been pretendedth;
the wide extent of unoccupied land, to which an exclu
sive right of property has been asserted on behalf of the
native inhabitants of New Zealand, belonged to them as
individuals; it was only as tribes that they were sup-
posed to possess it; and, granting their title as such to
have been good and valid, it was obviously a right which
the tribes enjoyed as independent communities—an at-
tribute of sovereignty, which, with the sovereignty, na-
turally and necessarily was transferred to the British
Crown. llad the New Zealanders boon a civilised
people, this would have been the case—if these islands,
being tnhabited by a civilised people, had been added
either by conquest or voluntary cession to the dominions
of the Otenn, if-is clear thatoccording to the well-
known principle* -of public law, while the property of
individuals Would have been respected, all public pro-
perty,/, all rights of everyffescription which had apper-
tainectathe;pievierts sov*eigns, would have devolved,
as a matter. of course, to :the new sovereign who suc-
ceededthem. /t can harctly be contended that these
tribes, -as such, possessed rights which civilised commu-
nities,could net have claimed. -
Such arelhepritibiples upon
,which, if the colonization li
of New-Zealand were only now about to begin, it would
be my duty to instruct you to act; and though I am well
aware that in point of fact you are not in a position to
do so, and that from past transactions a state of things
has arisen in which a strict application of these princi-
ples is impracticable, I have thought it right that they
should be thus explicitly stated in this dispatch (as they
are in the royal instructions to which it refers), in order
that you may clearly understand that although in many
respects you may be compelled to depart from them, still
you are to look to them as the foundation of the policy
which, so far as it is in your power, you are to pursue.
The imperfect information which alone at this dis-
tance I can hope to obtain as to the actual state of
affairs in New Zealand renders it impossible for me to
venture to prescribe to you how far you are to go in
attempting practically to act upon the principles I have
laid down. I should infer from your own dispatches, as
well as from those of your predecessors, that the rights
of the Crown could not now be asserted to large tracts
of waste land which particular tribes have been taught
to regard as their own. It appears that you have found
it expedient to admit these pretensions to a considerable
extent; and having done so, no apparent advantage could
be suffered to weigh against the evil of acting in a man-
ner either really or even apparently inconsistent with
good faith. While, however, you scrupulously fulfil
whatever engagements you have contracted, and main-
tain those rights on the part of the native tribes to land
which you have already recognised, you will avoid as
much as possible any further surrender of the property
of the Crown. I trust also that the evil which would
otherwise ariie from the concessions already made may,
to a great 'degree, be neutralised by your strictly main-
taining the exclusive right of the Crown to purchase
land tioni,thallative tribes to which it has been assumed
that it belongi.;. `t his right, resting as it does, not only
upon hap. been.called the Treaty of Waitangi,
but also Aril. tlih ienetil _and long-recognised prin-
ciples_ of national- law,, is 'onti so important, that it
ought,a4gat nt,all hazards to be strictly enforced. To
suffer it to be -set .aside would be to acquiesce in the
ruin of' the colay, since it would be fatal to the pro-
gressive and symematic settlement of the country. It is
by the sale of And at mere than a nominal price that its
appropriation to individtials in allotments proportioned to
their poserdinaking use of it can alone be secured. It
is thenaode hy which, with least inconvenience and dif-
ficulty, binds can be raised for emigration, and for ex-
ecuting those public works which are necessary for the
profitable occupation of the soil; in short, it is the very
foundation upon which systematic colonization must be
based. But if the native tribes are permitted to sell
large tracts of land to individuals for a mere nominal
consideration, it is obvious that so much land will be
thrown upon the market as entirely to defeat the at-
tempt to sell such lands as the Crown may still retain, at
a price sufficient to answer the objects of the policy I
have described.

It has indeed been asserted that the natives of New
Zealand will never consent, unless compelled by force of
arms, to the adoption of a system by which land bought
from them at a nominal, or at all events at a low price,
by the servants of the Crown, is to be resold at a much
higher rate to actual settlers. I fear it may be more dif-
ficult than it would have been formerly to reconcile
them to this practice, nevertheless the attempt must be
made; and I still hope it may not be impossible to con-
vince them that the Crown receives the money so paid
for land only as trustees for the public, and that it is
applied for their benefit as forming part of the commu-
nity; that the price obtained for land which is sold to
settlers affords the means of constructing roads and
bridges, of building churches and schools, and of intro-
ducing an additional European population; thus really
conducing far more to their advantage than the paltry
supply of goods which, if they sold the land for them-
selves, they would obtain for it.
These remarks apply to lands held by the aboriginal
inhabitants as tribes, and by a title not resting upon
actual occupation and improvement; as individuals, they
should be as free as any of the other inhabitants of New
Zealand to acquire and to dispose of property in land.
The first and most important step which you will have
to take with the view of introducing a regular system
with respect to the disposal of land will be to ascertain
distinctly the ownership of all the land in the colony.
The extent and limits of all which is to be considered as
the property either of individuals, of bodies politic or
cirporate, or of the native tribes, must, in the first in-
stance, be determined, and the whole of the remainder of
the territory will then be declared to be the royal demesne.
The results of this inquiry must be carefully registered,
and a regular record henceforth preserved, showing to
whom all the lands of Now Zealand belong. This
measure has been repeatedly and earnestly inculcated on
your predecessors, and I cannot too itrongly repeat the
same injunction.
It has been with the single object of ensuring in the
management of the waste lands of New Zealand the
adoption of a system calculated, as the confidential
servants of her Majesty believe; to promote the true in-
terests of all her subjects, that the instructions which
accompany this dispatch have been trained. I do not
pause to recapitulate their details; but the princi-
ples of. them are, that the power of the Crown
over these 'lands should never be employed for
any purpose of patronage, influence, or favouritism;
that the Croln shall not be at liberty to make a gra-
tuitous alienation of any extent of land, however small,
except with a view to public works, in which the whole
society may have, a. more or less immediate interest ;
that the elieuation of such lands to any private persons.
or for any private purposes, shall always be preceded by
a careful survey of the land, and followed by an imme-
diate registration of the grant ; that no such alienation
shall be made without a previous public auction ; that
at all such auctions all lands shall be offered for sale at
a certain upset price ; that the selection of the lands so
to be put up to auction shall be made exclusively by the
Government ; that the upset price of each lot shall de-
pend on the class in which it is placed, the three classes
being town, suburban, and rural allotments, the last class
being again subdivided into lands which are, and into
hinds which are not, believed to contain valuable mine-
rals ; that lands once offered for sale by auction, without
finding a purchaser, may afterwards be purchased with.
out auction at the upset price ; that the first application

eeseeeseseeeeesse-s
of the land revenue must be towards defraying the ex-
penses incident to the administration of the Crown land
department in all its branches ; and that the surplus or
net land revenue should be applied towards the intro-
duction of manual labourers from this country, unless
when the exigencies of the public service may render the
application of it to other local purposes indispensable.
Such being my general views regarding the settle-
ment of the public lands in New Zealand, I return to
the kindred topic of the state of the aborigines there.
On the general principles by which our relations to them
should be governed, I have nothing to add to Lord John
Russell's instructions to Captain Hobson, of the 9th
December, 1841, No. 1 ; but I have to call your atten-
tion to the 10th clause of the 9th and 10th of Victoria,
c. 103, in which Parliament has adopted and given their
sanction to the principles laid down by his Lordship in
that dispatch, that the laws and customs of the native
New Zealanders, even though repugnant to our own laws,
ought, if not at variance with the general principles of
humanity, to be for the present maintained for their
government in all their relations to, and dealings with,
each other ; and that particular districts should be set
apart within which such customs should be so observed.
It will be your duty to give effect to the general prin-
ciples which would separate, by well-defined lines of
demarcation, those parts of New Zealand in which the
native customs arc to be maintained, from those in which
they are to be superseded. For the sake of distinct-
ness, the one maybe .called the aboriginal, and the
other the provincial districts. The last, or pro.
vincial districts, will be entirely divided into
the various municipalities already mentioned.
With an increasing British population, and with
the advance of the natives in the arts-of Civilised life, the
provincial districts will progressively extend into the
aboriginal, until at length the distinction shall have en-
tirely disappeared. In the meantime the provincial dis-
tricts, and they alone, will be the seats of courts and
magistracies, and of other institutions requisite for the
government of civilised men. The aboriginal districts
will be governed by such methods as are in use among
the native New Zealanders. The chiefs or others, ac-
cording to their usages, should be allowed to interpret
and to administer their own laws. Even beyond those
precincts the same practice should be followed in all
cases, whether civil or criminal, in which the natives
alone have any direct and immediate interest. Difficul-
ties will of course arise in the execution of such rules,
but not, I think, any which may not be easily sur-
mounted ; for the administration of different laws to
different races of men inhabiting the same country under
one common sovereign, is a practice which has pre-
vailed so extensively, that scarcely any civilised nation
can be mentioned in which some examples of it have
not occurred. With the increase of Christian know-
ledge, of civilisation. of the use of the English tongue,
and of mutual confidence between the two races, these dis-
tinctions of law and of legal customs will, I trust, become
unnecessary and obsolete. In the meantime we muse
await that consummation with every reasonable indul-
gence for the innocent habits and for the venial preju-
dices of the aboriginal race with which we have thus
been brought into contact.
I pass over in this dispatch, as in the accompanying
instruments her Mujesty has pa,sed over, in silence,
many topics of the greatest importance to the future
good government of New Zealand. Such are the ad-
ministration of justice, the management of the revenue,
the education of youth, and the provision to be made
for public Christian w. r,hip. On these and similar
questions I think it better to await, than to anticipate
the deliberations of the legislative bodies about to be
convened in New Zealand. They will properly form the
subject of a separate-and future correspondence.
The Act of Parliament which I now transmit to you,
and the instruments which have been issued in pursuance
of it, are framed in the spirit of an unreserved confi-
dence, both in the capacity and in the willingness of the
British settlers in New Zealand to regulate their own
internal affairs in such a manner as may best conduct,
to the welfare of the colony and of the empire of which
it forms a part. To men to whom so high a trust
has been committed, it is fitting that the Minister of the
Crown charged with the communication to them of her
Majesty's gracious intentions should address himself
in the language of frankness and of candour. I there-
fore do not scruple to observe, that the experience of
our widely-extended empire as ascertained that the
otherwise inestimable advantages of colonial self-
government are attended with at least one serious dan•
ger. It is the danger that the powers conferred by
this great franchise on the representatives of the people
may be perverted into an instrument for the oppression
of the less civilised and less powerful races of men
inhabiting the same colony. This abuse has arisen in
our colonies, not because the wealthier and better edu-
cated classes of society there are in any respect in-
ferior in character to the corresponding classes of
society elsewhere, but because they are exposed to a
temptation from which the greater number of imperial
and independent legislatures are exempt. They live in
a vicinity to which nothing parallel exists in the an-
cient states of Europe. Such a vicinity exists, and, conse-
quently, such a temptation will arise in New Zealand.
I, therefore, acquit myself of a duty, involving no failure
of respect to the future assemblies of that colony, in
thus unreservedly pointing out to you, and through
you commending to their attention, the sacred duty
which will be incumbent on them, of watching over
the interest, protecting the persons, and, as far as
may be, cultivating the minds of the aboriginal race
among whom they and their constituents have settled.
They can render no service more acceptable to the
Queen, to Parliament, and to the people of this country
at large.

Although her Majesty has confided to your discretion
the time from which the new charter is to be promul-
gated and to take effect, and although in the exercise of
that discretion you will of course weigh every material
circumstance, including many which it would be impos-
sible for me to -foresee or to estimate aright, yet you
►ill understand it to be her Majesty's pleasure that no
delay should intervene which those circumstances may
not justify and require. • : I hare, &c.

THE NEW ZEALAND CIifARTER.
Victoria, by the grace of God- of..the.United Kingdom
of Great Britain and: Ireland Queen, Defender of the
Faith. To all to whom these presents shall come, greet-
ing.—Whereas by an Act made and passed in the Par-
liament holden in the ninth and tenth years. of our
reign, entitled " An Act to make further Prevision, for
the Government of the New Zealand - Islands," it is
among other things enacted, that it shall be lawful Tor
us, in and by any letters patent to be issued after the
passing of the said Act, under the. great seal of the
United Kingdont,lfrtim drab to time to constitute and estab-
lish within any:district or districts of the islands of
New Zealand, , One or more municipal corporation or
corporations, and to grant to any. such 'corporations
all or any of the powers which (in pursuance of the
statutes in that behalf made and provided) it is com-
petent to us to grant to the inhabitants of any town
or borough in-. England and Wales, incorporated
in virtue of such statutes, or any of them, and to
qualify and restrict the exercise of any such powers
in such and the same manner as' by the statutes
last aforesaid, or any of them, we may qualify or restrict
the exercise of any. such powers in England ; and it is
by the said Act fitrther enacted, that 'it shall be lawful
for us, by any such letters patent as aforesaid, to make
and prescribe all such rules as to us shall seem fit for
determining the extent acid boundaries of the districts to
be comprised within any such municipal corporations as
aforesaid, and for regulating. the choice and election of
the various officers of any such corporations, and of the
members of the goierning bodies thereof, and for ascer-
taining the qualifications of the members of any such
municipal corporations ; and it is by the said Act further
enacted, that it shall be lawful for us to execute any of
the powers thereby vested in us, by. instructions under
our signet sad sign manual, approved in our Privy
Council, and accompanying or referred to in letters
patent to be issued as aforesaid, and that it shall be law-
ful for us, by.a.ny such letters patent or instructions, to
delegate to the Governor-in-Chief for the time being of
the islands of New Zealand, or to the respective Gover-
nors for the time being of the respective provinces into
which the said islands may be divided, the exercise of
such of the powers by the said Act vested in us as it may
seem meet to us so to delegate, and to prescribe the man-
ner and form in which, and the conditions subject to
which, such delegated authority shall so be exercised.
Now, know ye, that in pursuance of the said recited
Act, and in exercise of the powers thereby in us vested,
and also in exercise of all and every other the powers to
us in that behalf in anywise belonging, we, of our spe-
cial grace. mere motion, and certain knowledge, have
constituted arvd established, and -do hereby consti-
tute and establish, within the said islands of New
Zealand, such municipal corporations, with such powers,
qualifications, and, restrictions, as are mentioned and
oirected in certain instructions by us given under our
signet said sign manual, approved in our Privy Council,
and beraring even date with and accompanying these
presents.

IL And, in further pursuance and exercise of the
powers aforesaid', We do hereby grant, appoint, and or-
dain, that the districts to be comprised within such mu-
nicipal corj►orations respectively shall be of such extent,
and shall have such boundaries, as are prescribed and

provided for in and by the said instructions, and that
the choice and election. of the various officers of the said
corporations r!speetively, and of the members of the
goveming bgalcs thereof, shall take place and be regu-
lated according to thP rules and in the manner and form
prescribed. and provided for in and by the said instruc-
tions ; a'ad that the qualifwations:of the members of the
said inutaicipal corporation t; shall,
.in like manner, be
ascertriined according to the rules and in the manner
anal form prescribed and provided for in and by the said
instructions.

IV, And. whereas it is by the said recited Act fur-

ther et►acted,
.thkt it shall be lawful for us, in and by
any /setters patent to be issued as aforesaid, from time to
time to divide the said islands of New Zealand into two
or snore separate provinces, and to constitute and esta-
blish within the same two or more separate assemblies ;
thed is to say, one such assembly in and for each of such
separate provinces, and that each of the said assemblies
saall consist of, and be holden by, a Governor, a Legis-
lative Council, and a House of Representatives; now,
therefore, in further pursuance of the ,said recided Act,
and in exercise of the powers thereby in us vested, we
i.).0 hereby grant, ordain, and appoint, that the said
islands of Now Zealand sltalLbe divided into two sepa-
rate provinces, to be ealleil respectively the " Trainee

of New Ulster," and the "Province of New Munster;"
and we do hereby divide the said islands accordingly ;
and we do hereby constitute and establish a separate
assembly within each of the said two provinces, to or-
sist of and be holden by a Governor, Legislativ4 tin-
;il, and a House of .I:Zt.pre6eLtati:ej; ; and we doe by
and appoint, that the limits of t a
„eetively, anti the time at which. in siile of
.evinces respective' 7, the said assemblie h
..cued or holden, shall befit:al mined in the n
form prescribed and provided for in and by cis
instructions hereinbefore mentioned.
IV. And whereas it is by the said recited Act fit s. t
enacted, that each of the said Legislative Councils, when
constituted, shall consist of such persons as we shall for
that purpose appoint; and that the elections of the mem-
bers of the said Houses of Representatives shall take
place in such manner and form, and under such regula-
tions as shall for that purpose be prescribed in any such
letters patent as aforesaid ; now, therefore, in further
pursuance and exercise of the powers aforesaid, we do
hereby grant, appoint, and ordain, that the said Legis-
lative Councils shall consist of such persons as are for
that purpose appointed or designated by us in the said
instructions hereinbefore mentioned, and that the elec-
tions of members of the said Houses of Representatives
respectively shall take place in the manner and form,
and under the regulations prescribed and provided for,
in and by the said instructions hereinbefore mentioned.
V. And whereas it is by the said recited Act further
enacted, that it shall be lawful for us, in and by any such
letters patent to be issued as aforesaid, to constitute and
establish a General Assembly in and for the said islands

PIGEON-FLYING MATCH FOE TEN POUNDS.—
Thursday, the annual pigeon-flying match, between
amateur pigeon fanciers of Lambeth, came off. There
were fifteen competitors for the prize, each flying one
pigeon. The starting-place was Southampton, at which
town the pigeons were thrown up at one o'clock, and a
blue dragon pigeon, belonging to Mr. Rose, of Kenning-
ton, was the winning bird. It flew the distance (77
miles) in one hour and twenty-seven minutes.
SKATING ON THE WYE.—After a lapse of nine
years the deep water of the Wye, 'from the bridge at
this city to Belmont, was last week frozen sufficiently
hard to render it perfectly secure for skating and sliding.
Numerous parties accordingly availed themselves of the
opportunity of enjoying the healthy exercise, and it was
teresting to witness the evolutions of some experienced
skaters. The Mayor very considerably directed the
police to be in attendance, and several of them waited
en the banks every day with ladders and ropes to assist
persons to the shore if an accident had occurred. We
id not, however, hear of a single immersion. On
Saturday, however, to the great sorrow of the partakers
in these healthy recreations, a complete thaw commenced,
and continued till Monday evening, when there was a
sharp reaction in the shape of frost.—Hereford Journal.

Newbury, of Kimmeridge, Dorset (late of Misterton).
On Thursday morning they were feund underneath a
small bridge near the mill; only 14 out of the 60 were
alive, and even they were bitten. The carcases were
sold at from lid. to 2d. per lb. to the poor. And, on
Sunday night last, a flock of lambing ewes, belonging to
r. Stephens, of Seaborough, was attacked by dogs,
vs hich drove 39 of the flock into a quarry, were 21 were
found dead the BPwe night. In neither instance has any
trace of the dogs yet been discevereil.—Bath Journal.
