No. 37.
Copy of a Despatch from his Grace the Duke of Newcastle to Governor Sir W. Denison.

I have received your Despatch No. 42, of the 12th April last, reporting the measures which you had taken on the application of the Governor of New Zealand for affording military assistance to that colony in consequence of the Native outbreak at Taranaki; and I have to express the acknowledgments of Her Majesty's Government of the prompt measures which you adopted, and of the willing co-operation afforded by the Government of New South Wales in despatching all the available force in the colony to the succour of New Zealand.
