ARRIVAL OF MESSRS. EDWARD HERRING AND A. B. BROOMHALL.
Another proof of the increasing attention which the Colony is receiving at Home is (the Southlaud News says) afforded by the arrival of Messrs. E. Herring and A. B. Broomhall. These gentlemen have been deputed by a number of capitalists in London to inspect and conditionally purchase very large areas of agricultural and pastoral freehold and leasehold lands. The enterprise includes both the North and South Islands, and it is understood that the intention of the capitalists interested is to subdivide the blocks they may succeed in securing, and settle thereon a number of agricultural and and pastoral farmers from Great Britain. Mr. Herring has, we believe, a donble commission, having been requested by over three hundred farmers and others in the West Riding of Yorkshire, headed by the member of Parliament for Wakefield, to bring back a report on the capabilities of the Colony from a farmer’s point of view.
