No. 28. Memorandum No. 47, 1872, for the Aoestt-General, London. Referring to my Memorandum No. 34, 1872, of the sth instant, I now enclose copy of a telegram from His Honor the Superintendent of Otago, remarking on the inferior character of the immigrants sent out to Messrs. Brogden in the " Christian McAusland," and the objections to allowing such a class of people passages in the same vessel with Government immigrants. Or. M. Waterhouse, • Lands and Immigration Office, (for the Hon. Minister of Immigration). Wellington, New Zealand, 19th December, 1872.

Enclosure in No. 28. His Honor J. Macandrew to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary. 0 (Telegram.) Dunedin, 9th December, 1872. Passengers per " Palmerston," from Hamburgh, reported to be a very superior, decent lot of people. Those sent by Brogden in " Christian McAusland " are the very reverse —the worst lot ever arrived here. It is a perfect disgrace bringing out respectable immigrants such as those from Shetland and north of Scotland in the same ship, and I fear will greatly deter further immigration from the same quarter. J. MAC ANDREW. The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington.
