THE  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE  

AND  

COMMERCIAL-MARITIME JOURNAL.  

BRITISH COLONIZATION OF NEW ZEALAND.  

The late proclamations of Captain Hobson, R.N. Lieutenant-Governor  

of New Zealand, which were published in the London Gazette of the  

2nd. of October, declaring the sovereignty of the whole group of  

islands to be vested in Her Majesty, have placed the colony on an  

entirely new footing, and have, in consequence, directed the public  

attention in very considerable degree, to its consequent position and  

prospects. All doubt as to whether New Zealand is, or is not  

British colony, having been set at rest by those documents, the most  

important considerations naturally present themselves for solution.  

Hitherto, it cannot be said that New Zealand has been under any  

government at all, for the species of authority, possessed, first by the  

missionaries and others, and subsequently by the British Resident,  

was totally insufficient for the maintenance of order, or the protection  

of settlers from the lawless crew who resorted to the islands. The  

question, therefore, forcibly arises, of “ what are the principles upon  

which the government is in future to be carried on, and what measures  

are to be adopted for giving to the settlers that protection and encou-  

ragement so justly claimed for them ?”  

We propose, in offering the following observations, to make brief,  

and, we trust, impartial review of the proceedings adopted from the  

commencement of the attempt to colonize New Zealand.  

It would be useless, at this time, to enter at length into the long-  

standing discussions between the friends of New Zealand and Her  

VOL. 111. NO. 11.
