We humbly thank your Majesty for the Gracious consideration of our necessities as a new and rising community; as manifested by your Majesty’s directions to your Ministers to establish British law and authority in this part of your Majesty’s dominions, and in the appointment of a Lieutenant Governor to carry your Royal instructions into effect. But duty to our Sovereign, as well as justice to ourselves, compels us to state that the wise and Gracious designs of your Majesty have been in a great measure frustrated, by the neglect and misconduct of Lieutenant Governor Hobson. We desire to represent to your Majesty, that the Settlement of Port Nicholson comprises the large majority of your Majesty’s subjects resident in the Islands of New Zealand; that the population is rapidly increasing; that the natural productions of the Country ensure the rapid development of its extensive agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing resources; that already the commerce of Port Nicholson is much more considerable that that of any other port in the Islands; that its geographical position must give it great political importance; and that in no part of the British Empire are your Majesty’s subjects more distinguished by ready obedience to lawful authority; or by a more earnest determination to maintain the honour and dignity of the British Crown. Notwithstanding these claims on his attention; claims which we humbly submit ought to have decided Lieutenant Governor Hobson to fix the seat of Government at Port Nicholson – His Excellency has never even visited this important and flourishing Settlement, but has selected for his Capital a portion of the Northern Island three hundred miles distant from us, where there are no British residents except those immediately connected with Government. Communication with the Government is thus rendered uncertain, unfrequent, difficult and expensive. In short, nearly all those over whose welfare Lieutenant Governor Hobson was instructed to watch; and from whose contributions the cost of establishing the rival settlement must be chiefly defrayed and the revenue of the Colony mainly derived, are almost entirely excluded from the benefit of any Government at all, with the single exception of a Police Magistrate with undefined criminal jurisdiction. But in addition to this systematic neglect of our welfare, we have to charge Lieutenant Governor Hobson with an attempt to inflict upon us a serious positive injury. Your Majesty’s attention is called to the facts, that a great scarcity of skilled labour exists in this Dawn Chambers – Email: [email protected] Last updated 03 March 2021 Page 2 of 15 Pandora Research www.nzpictures.co.nz Settlement, that the Artificers and Labourers resident here have been brought from England at the expence of the landholders and Capitalists of Port Nicholson; with the understanding and in the full belief that they were to remain here for an indefinite period; that employment of this valuable and most respectable portion of our community at high wages is constant; and the demand for their services increasing; and that the prosperity of the Settlement mainly depends upon a sufficient supply of this description of labour. Nevertheless, and with a perfect knowledge of diminishing the supply, Lieutenant Governor Hobson has sent a vessel from Auckland, his seat of Government, with offers of a free passage and other advantages to such Artificers and Labourers as may be induced to leave the service of your Petitioners, and enter into his employment.

    FORTY YEARS FOR LABRADOR BY SIR WILFRED GRENFELL K.C.M.G., M.D. (OxoN.), F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON HODDER AND STOUGHTON LIMITED 1934 FIRST PUBLISHED MARCH 1933 POPULAR EDITION OCTOBER 1934 COPYRIGHT 1 19191 BY WILFRED THOMASON GRENFELL COPYRlGHT, 19321 BY WILFRED GRENFELl. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RRPRODUCIT. THIS BOOK. OR PARTS THEREOF IN ANY FORM Made tJttJd Pri•ted ;,. Great Britain. R. & R. CLARK, LIMITBD, Edi,./nwgh TO MY WIFE PREFACE A BIOLOGIST, watching one animal in his vivarium to see how an experiment turns out, expects to arrive nearer the truth as time elapses and the end draws near. Just so, spectators watch­ ing a runner in a race get more and more interested as the last lap approaches and the goal looms in sight. Then the runner's achievement is easier to appraise. Life's struggle, moreover, becomes increasingly interesting now that philosophers again permit us to regard results as dependent upon causes which are under the control of the individual runner to a very large extent. The title of this new record has been changed, to suggest that this is the last lap, and that deductions from the facts may be expected to be more mature and therefore more worth while, provided they are honest. The consciousness of having to live alongside the first venture into autobiography involved a kind of vivisection; for to have to tell the truth about one's real self carries with it the inescapable reproach of nudism, however salutary that may be for one's spiritual welfare, or however interesting to others.

See PMB on-line database catalogue at http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/pambu/catalogue/ for information sheets and detailed reel lists. PMB Manuscript series of Microfilms AU PMB MS 09 Title: Tapu: a tale of adventure in the South Seas (a novel) Date(s): After 1894 (Creation) Moors, Harry J. Extent and medium: 1 reel; 35mm microfilm Description: Harry J. Moors (1854-1926) was born in Detroit and died in Apia, Western Samoa. As an agent for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration, he made several voyages to the Gilbert Islands and Marshall Islands around 1880 to recruit labourers for Hawaii's sugar plantations. In 1883, he settled in Apia, Western Samoa, and became a successful trader and planter. Moors was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson during the novelist's five years (1889-1894) in Samoa and in 1910 he published a book of reminiscences entitled With Stevenson in Samoa. Moors stated in that book that Stevenson had once urged him to write down some of the 'wonderful stories' he had related to Stevenson about his early career. Moors acted on this encouragement, and after Stevenson died, he wrote two novels, of which Tapu: A Tale of Adventure in the South Seas is one. Neither of the novels was published. See also the Bureau's newsletter <1>Pambu, September 1968:4. The novel is based on Moors' experiences in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands as a labour recruiter for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration.

From the expansionist fever of the late nineteenth century to the redistribution of German territories immediately following the First World War, Canadians of varying backgrounds campaigned vigorously for Canada-West Indies union. Their efforts generated a transatlantic discourse that raised larger questions about Canada’s national trajectory, imperial organization, and the state of Britain’s Empire in the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the key ideas, tensions, and contradictions that shaped the union discourse over time. Race, nation and empire were central to this discourse.

    THE DE-COLONISATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN STATES by ANNE TWOMEY A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES APRIL 2006 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the status of the Queen in Australia in relation to the Australian States and the effect upon it of the enactment of the Australia Acts 1986. It uses hitherto confidential government documents to expose the true relationship between the United Kingdom, the Crown and the States and challenge prevailing assumptions. The thesis establishes that before 1986 the United Kingdom played a substantive, rather than a merely formal, role in the constitutional relationship between the States and the Crown. The ‘Queen of Australia’ was confined in her role to Commonwealth, not State, matters. The ‘Queen of the United Kingdom’ continued to perform constitutional functions with respect to the States, which were regarded as dependencies of the British Crown. This position changed with the enactment of the Australia Acts 1986 (Cth) and (UK). This thesis analyses the Australia Acts, assesses the validity of their provisions and contends that the Australia Act 1986 (UK) was necessary for legal and political reasons. The thesis concludes that the Australia Acts, in terminating the residual sovereignty of the Westminster Parliament with respect to Australia, transferred sovereignty collectively to the components of the federal parliamentary democratic system. Consistent with this view, it is contended that the effect of the Australia Acts was to establish a hybrid federal Crown of Australia under which the Queen’s Ministers for each constituent polity within the federation can advise her upon her constitutional functions with respect to that polity.
