§ SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Government of New South Wales have offered a large tract of land to any missionaries who will undertake the civilization of the Natives; and, whether this offer has been accepted by the Pope and the Propaganda?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)As far as I have been able to ascertain, there is no foundation for the rumour referred to in the hon. Baronet's Question. I may, perhaps, add that the rumour appears to be inconsistent with the circumstances and the policy of the Colony.
