See Governor Grey to Lord Grey, Parl. Papers, N. Z., 1850, p. 59, and Parl. Papers, August, 1851, p. 136, No. 63; and see this argument refuted at length, in documents proceeding from the Colonists' Parl. Papers, August, 1850, p. 49, and Parl. Papers, August, 1851, p. 00, and note 18, post, &c. No answer to the arguments of the colonists on this head has ever been attempted by the Governor.
