PETITION AGAINST the DISMEMBERMENT of the PROVINCE. TO the HONOURABLE the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES of the COLONY of HEW ZEALAND, in PARLIAMENT Assembled. The Humble Petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the Province of Nelson, Respectfully showeth : — That your Petitioners are informed that it is intended to introduce, to your Honourable House, a measure for the division of the Province of Nelson into two Provinces, or to take away a large portion of the Proviace, in order to add the same to the County of Westland. That your Petitioners believe thai any such alteration would inevitably lead to a large increase in the Departmental' Expenditure now found sufficient for the Government of the Province, and to a corresponding diminution in the fund 8 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 portion* of the territory proposed to be divided, to the almost total discontinuance of public works, to the suspension of permanent settlement on the Goldfields now Bteadily 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 mining, , pastoral, or agricultural, as amoDgst a community whose pursuits comprise a fair admixture of all three, as is the case in the existing Province pt Nelson. , Your Petitioners therefore pray that your Honourable House will not pass any measure for the division of the Province of Nelson into two Proviq,cjßßi or tor ; the alteration of ;.thY existing Boundaries. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c, &c; _" : ; " : ' l '"'"' „■ [ ":'. , .'.. 1712 rpHE Undersigned has been appointed AGENT X for the SALE ot TIMBER Cut hit the! Steam Saw-mills, of /Mr. Wjm.
