The Lyttelton Times.
October 4, 1851. We beg to call the special notice of our Teadors to an advertisement announcing that a public meeting- is to be held on Saturday next, at the White Hart at Christclmvch, to protest against the continuance of transportation to the Australian colonies. We earnestly hone that a large attendance
will prove how warmly the Canterbury settlers sympathise with the noble efforts now making by the neighbouring-colonies to cast off this pollution. Convicts have not yet been sent here ; but the law allows of their being sent at any moment at the caprice of the Colonial Minister of the day, and the contamination of the transportation system is communicated to New Zealand in common with the whole Austi"alian Colonies, by the escaped convicts which infest our shores. We have no room for the further remarks we intended to have made on this subject.
