Colonial Office and New Zealand case before Parliament
Lord Eliot opened a Commons debate on New Zealand versus the Colonial Office, urging a Committee of Enquiry into colonial policy and land rights. The discussion highlighted government inconsistency, urged clearer leadership, and warned of adverse effects from current land sales and emigration funding. Lord John Russell’s stance shifted toward the Wakefield colonisation principle, with calls to act decisively next session.

Trial of Edward Oxford for Treason at Central Court
A mass of testimony covers Edward Oxford's trial for shooting at Queen Victoria and Prince Albert from Constitution Hill on June 10. Prosecutors press insanity defense questions, recount weapons found, and detail Oxford's preparations, motive, and alleged Young England connections. The jury hears loaded pistols, a powder flask, caps, and letters linked to Oxford's beliefs.
