Under-Secretary Goulburn to S. R. Lushington.

Lord Bathurst having given permission to the Wesleyan Missionary Society to ship on board the Minerva (male convict ship to New South Wales) household furniture and agricultural implements, solely for the use of the Society’s missionaries in New Zealand, I am directed by His Lordship to request that you will move the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to give the necessary directions that the articles in question may be permitted to pass the Customs.
