If it were so low that the whole industry of the colony should soon be broken up into small fractions, and that the larger capitals originally taken out should perish for want of labourers to use them, then land, which had become the property of individuals, would possess little or no value, and...
Сторінка 138 - Maori, and which they might be taught are waters that the Devil navigates to reach the island of the soul. Nor was there wanting solid aliment — pork, salt and fresh, in various forms of hams, cold roast, pork pies, and baskets of bread and biscuit all to be transmuted into money.
Сторінка 166 - ... Commissioners (one has been sent from London); this preparatory step would occupy, perhaps, three months; so that no investigation would occur before May, and the adjudications might not be published before the latter end of this year, 1841. The settler on the eve of embarking, would do well to await further intelligence, to know the government decision on titles to land already purchased; and what regulations they will issue affecting its future sale. The arrangements between the local government...
Сторінка 127 - It was not the Mass ; but that is of no consequence. At Opo-tee-kee also he meets the same phenomenon : " The very children were humming over some portions of Masses in their play.
