ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the 11 New Zealand Spectator.” Lyttelton, July 4, 1851. Sir, —I have just seen a paragraph in "our paper of the 18th June, in which you “a sensation was produced” (in the Legislative Council,) “ by information from His Excellency of an attempt on the part of the Canterbury Association to get Nelson included in their settlement, and to extend their regulations respecting the sale of land to Nelson.” I have no means of knowing how far your report of what passed is correct, or what His Excellency did actually say; but your statement compels me to declare publicly that, to the best of my knowledge and belief the Canterbury Association never “ attempted (nor have they the slightest intention of attempting)
to get Nelson included in their settlement, or to extend their regulations respecting the sale of land to Nelson.” I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, John Robert Godlev.
