PETITION AGAINST the DISMEMBERMENT op the PROVINCE. TO the HONOURABLE the HOUSE of • REPRESENTATIVES ot" the COLONY of NEW ZEALAND, in PARLIAMENT Assembled. The Humble Petition of the undersigned inhabitauts of the Province of Nelson, Respectfully showeth : — That your Petitioners are informed that it is intended to introduce, to jour Honourable House, a measure for the division of the Province of Nelson into two Provinces, or to take away a large portion of the Province, in order to add the same to the County of Westland. That your Petitioners believe thufc any such alteration would inevitably lead to a large iucrease in the Departmental Expenditure now found sufficient for the Government of the Province, and to a corresponding diminution in the funds now available for public works, education, and other important purposes. That your Petitioners further believe that the result of any such measure would be financial embarrassment in both of the portions of the territory proposed to be divided, to the almost total discontinuance of public works, to the suspension of permanent settlement on the Golafields now steadily going on, and to great discouragement to the cause of Education. That your Petitioners also submit to your Honourable House that a great injury would be inflicted upon the • South-western portion of the Province, by separating it from a Province , almost free from debt, in order to join it to a County involved in very heavy liabilities, which ■ its resources have already proved insufficient to sustain. ' Your Petitioners believe that good Government is not so likely to" obtain amongst a community whose pursuits are almost entirely of one character,; whether those pursuits be purely I mining, pastoral, or agricultural, as amoDget a community whose pursuits comprise a fair ad- ' mixture of all threej as is the case in the existing Province ot Nelson. Your .Petitioners therefore pray that your ..■Honourable House will not pass any measure for the division of the Province of Nelson into two Frovhues, or ior^ the alteration of the existing Boundaries.- '■ ' And' your Petitioners will ever pray,&c, &c. .""" * : ■'"■ '-'" •■"■•■ '■' 1712 THE Undersigned has been appointed AGENT for the SALE of TIMBER Cut at the Steam Saw-mills of Mr; Wm.
