The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in simi­ lar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrange­ ment, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessz'ng at probabilities, have in­ volved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost with­ out number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa,- records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible.

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

Friend is right, and I remember House of Commons that extremely good initiative. We want to encourage not only parliamentarians but all individuals, and schools Thursday 30 June 2011 and places of work, to plant more trees. We aim to plant 1 million new trees within this parliamentary Session. I will certainly look at the parliamentary scheme as an The House met at half-past Ten o’clock opportunity to remind colleagues how important it is that we do our bit. PRAYERS Mr Barry Sheerman (Huddersfield) (Lab/Co-op): I supported John Major’s initiative, which was very good, [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] and sponsored two trees in memory of my parents. If we care about our forests and woods, we must ensure that the next generation visits, enjoys and learns about them. The number of out-of-school visits is collapsing Oral Answers to Questions and we must do something about it. Will the Secretary of State join the initiative of the John Clare Trust, which I chair, in launching the “Every child’s right to ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS the countryside” campaign, and give it a bit of support?
