Summary:

Description: Letters concerning the New Zealand Company and settlers in New Zealand and Australia. Includes a letter appointing the mediator between the company and the settlers of New Plymouth. There is also a printed item called 'Propositions on the subject of the Land System of Australia', and copies of the London Gazette dated 14 January and 13 May 1845. A plan of the accommodation available on the Mary Catherine is also included, together with documents relating to its use by the New Zealand Company.

Notes:

The New Zealand Company was a chartered company formed in 1839 and incorporated in 1841 with power to buy, sell, settle and cultivate land in New Zealand. It did not prove a satisfactory agency for colonising New Zealand and was induced to surrender its charters in 1850. It was finally dissolved in 1858.
