Letter from Sir Robert Wilmot-Horton to Baron Charles Philippe Hippolyte de Thierry, December 10, 1823

Downing Street,
10th Dec., 1823.

The Baron
Charles de Thierry.

Sir,

“I am directed by Earl Bathurst to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2nd inst., and to acquaint you in reply that as the questions which you have proposed to his Lordship respecting the Island of New Zealand are founded upon the assumption that that Island is considered as a Possession of the Crown, it seems necessary to apprise you that you have been misinformed on the subject.”

I am,

R. Wilmot Horton.
