THE NATIVES.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
AS Resident of this Town, it is probable that the Inhabitants generally may consider myself, and the Superintendents of Native Tribes, acting in conjunction with the Military Officers in Command, responsible in some degree, for the safety and protection of themselves and their properties. I therefore consider it to be my duty, to call their attention to the Government Notice, dated Feb. 18th, 1833, signed by the Honorable the Colonial Secretary.—It is moreover desirable, to impress upon the inhabitants, the very great necessity there is, for each individual very rigidly attending to, the cautions therein given, as every reasonable person must see the utter impracticability of carrying any plan into effect for the public good—if it be counteracted by those, who ought willingly, and cheerfully, to assist in this, and every such measure. It is particularly necessary to caution those persons who are in the habit of giving the natives money—not to do so, as it is evident, that plunder, and violence, must, and will follow, when they find, that money is the medium, through which they can procure food. As to the plea used by some individuals of the necessity for giving the the encouragement alluded to. in that notice, in order to secure their own personal safety, it is considered that any man, who would secure himself, at the risk of his neighbours, and in the defiance of a public notice, for the benefit of the community, is deserving of general reproach; and all persons should bear in mind, that every one so offending, is liable to indictment at the Quarter Sessions for misdemeanour, punishable on conviction, by fine, and Imprisonment. It may also be proper to remark that independent, of the prompt assistance of the Military, upon which the Inhabitants can safely rely at all times, there are always in my Office, sixty stand of arms, with a full supply of ammunition, for those who may require it, ready to inflict a prompt, and heavy punishment, on the natives, should their conduct at any time be considered to deserve it, by those, whose duty it is to judge, and to act, in such matters.

To the Editor,
- Sir,
Ï know not to whom His Majesty is indebted for the very able manner in which one or more of his Officers in Western Australia, have drawn up a specification for the bank across the Islands or Flats; but when they propose clay puddling on the deep mud, there existing, I can tell them they might as well at once throw their money into the said mud as expend it so uselessly. The Government I see propose only to do 100 rods—but unless the thing is properly and liberally done it had better not be attempted; this dribling of the Public money is far from being economical. The British Government is through our means making a valuable property in this Colony, and why should it not pay a fair price for it, by constructing public works for our accommodation. This leads me to observe, that I by no means agree with your remarks last week respecting the sale of land by the Crown—for, as to condensing the population, it would be a natural result in such neighbourhoods as are desirable without any interference; and if the lands to be granted were at a higher rate per acre on sums invested (say £I if necessary.) that would prevent estates being too large—the sale of lands by the first settlers is undoubtedly an advantage and one for their past sufferings they richly merit,—but why a person—after leaving "dear native country &c. &c.," is on his arrival here to pay into the hands of Government for that they never see or purchased a considerable sum, or be debarred the occupation of an estate, is what I cannot approve, it is at best an imposition, I cannot imagine a case to shew more strongly its injustice, than by supposing the £200 alluded to by you last week, to have (instead of going to an old settler,) passed into the Government chest, but observe for such a sum the gentleman must have been content, with at most 800 acres, and those the Lord knows where,—I say it is a shame for Government to dip their hands so deeply on any pretence into the pocket of the new comer, who will have need enough of it; fancy the change it would make in his prospects could he according to the old system lay out his ready cash in stock.
