A Batch of Immigrants.
(By Telegraph. )
AUCKLAND, August 14.
By the Buabine there arrived under the auspices of Mr Courtney, in order to take up land in Taranaki, a party who came out j under the Assisted Passages scheme. The party comprises 78 adults and two children, | sixteen of the number being women. The majority are young men, formerly employed in London offices, only a few being practically acquainted with the work of farming. Nearly all possess a little money. It appears to be tbe general intention to seethe work of farms prior to taking up land. Though not practical farmers the majority of the immigrants appear to be of a good stamp, suitable for settlers. Mr Courtney had given a number of lectures on Taranaki in England, and these were the means of inducing many to come oat. Mr J. B). March, Superintendent of Government Settlements, met the passengers per Buahine and gave them all necessary information.
