Waitangi House.
Plans of First Residency Discovered. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 21. JN REPLY to a communication recently addressed by Lord Bledisloe to the Government of New South Wales, inquiring whether there was, among the State archives, a plan of the British Residency erected at Waitangi, in 1833, for the accommodation of Mr Busby, the present Minister of Public Works and Health for New South Wales (Mr Weaver) has sent his Excellency a copy of such plan. After a prolonged search it was discovered in Sydney, together with correspondence which passed at the time between Mr Busby and the Under-Secretary (Mr Ilay), as representing Governor IBourke, then Governor of New South Wales. It is expected that this plan and correspondence will be of material assistance to Messrs Gummer and Page, who, as honorary architectural advisers to the Waitangi National Trust Board, are at present engaged on the task of planning the restoration of “ the treaty house ” to its actual condition and appearance when erected a hundred years ago.
