Summary:

Description: Much of the correspondence is addressed to Lord Glenelg, Secretary of State for the Colonial Department in London, or sent on his behalf. Letters refer to emigration affairs throughout the year 1838, including the appointment of a new French Consul at Sydney, New South Wales, and the organisation of transportation vessels carrying convicts from England and Ireland to Sydney. Many letters refer to allotments of land directed by Lord Bathurst to be allocated to various people in 1826, and subsequent cases made to titles of such lands. Some letters refer to the free passage afforded to British clergymen wishing to emigrate to New South Wales the previous year, and enquiring whether their families and servants may now be afforded the same. There is also an account of the 'State of Female Factory' in Parramatta, Sydney. Printed papers and correspondence relating to the appeal and legal case of S. Bannister, late Attorney-General of New South Wales, are also included, as are the minutes of a board assembled in the settlement by Sir Richard Bourke to consider and report on the annual salary clerks in the colony are entitled to. There is an index at the back.
