Emigrant and Colonist Aid Corporation Formed
The Emigrant and Colonist's Aid Corporation Limited is launched with 250000 capital and trustees including the Duke of Manchester and Lord Bury. It aims to secure land concessions and grants for settlers, provide passages and advances, arrange colony reception, social aid, and employment linking colonial employers with workers. A public meeting in Borough Road Congregational Chapel, chaired by Sir George Grey, supported the plan amid calls for government aid.
