MESSRS BROGDEN'S IMMIGRATION CONTRACT.
TO TBE EDITOR OF THE PBESS. Sib,—ln your issue of the 29th September last allusion is made to a statement said to have been published in Wellington that I had joined Dr Featherston in recommending the New Zealand Government to accede to certain proposals made by Messrs Brogden with regard to their immigration contract.
I shall feel obliged if you will allow mc to say that this statement, so far as it affects myself, is incorrect.
At Dr Featherston'a reqneat, I waa present at an interview between that gentleman and Messrs Brogden upon tbe subject in question, and was able to afford explanation as to what bad taken place when a similar application was made by Mr James Brogden to Mr Waterhouse's Government. But I did not at that interview, or in any subsequent communication to the Government, express any opinion upon the merits of the Messrs Brogden's application, and I should be sorry for it to be supposed that I had done so. Yours, kc, John Hall. London, December 29th, 1873.
