MEMORIAL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNTY COURT.
To HIS EXCEIMINCY THE GOVERNOR. We, the undersigned, landowners, merchants, and others, residing at Nelson, respectfully solicit your Excellency to take, immediate measures for establishing a County Court in this settlement.
Eight months have pasted since the arrival of the first body of colonists in Nelson, and your memorialists cannot but regret that, during all that time, no steps have been taken by the Colonial Government to erect a County Court in this district. Meanwhile, the comparative impunity for every kind of fraud, arising out of the want of such a tribunal, not only occasions great loss and inconvenience to the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity, but threatens to discourage private enterprise, to derange the just relation of debtor and creditor, and to retard the commercial advancement of the colony. Suffering these serious grievances, and intimately convinced that they must continue to increase, unless prompt and effectual means are taken to remove them, we now address your Excellency, with an undoubting hope that this memorial will be favourably received.
