A Letter on Crown Lands and Squatters in New South Wales
A stockholders group in New South Wales publishes a long appeal to the Lord of Colonies, arguing that squatters are pressed by Crown Land policy and urging a system of long leases with preemption rights. They detail past hardships, insist on legislative reform, and warn against auctioning runs as it would hurt settlers, delay emigration funds, and empower a few wealthy interests. They seek responsible government and a larger, lasting tenure to promote settlement and prosperity.
