An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

No. 51. — Instructions to Connect and Consolidate Native Land Purchases

No. 51.
Instructions to Connect and Consolidate Native Land Purchases.

Crown Lands to be connected as much as possible. Minute.

For obvious reasons which it is unnecessary to detail, the Governor considers it highly important that the European population should not be more than necessarily isolated; he therefore desires that instructions be given to the Land Purchase Commissioners to use their utmost endeavours to connect and consolidate Crown lands, and not to commence negotiations for the purchase of land, unless adjacent to and connected with Crown lands without special reference to himself.

Government House, 4th June, 1857.

T. Gore Browne.
