One or two of these had taken part in the colonization of South Australia. An elaborate scheme was draw r n up by the Asso- ciation and submitted to the Imperial Parliament. It recognized the sovereignty and independence of 1837. ] THE "NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. " 203 the New Zealanders ; foresaw that cession of the whole territory to the British Crown could only be- a very gradual process ; recommended the establish- ment of British settlements ; and proposed measures for obtaining and disposin...g of land. The work of forming and regulating settlements was " to be confided, without regard to any private interest, to a few persons of station and character selected from among the originators and most zealous patrons of the undertaking. " These, under the name of " Founders of Settlements in New Zealand, " were to be appointed by Act of Parliament after approval by the Crown, and vacancies in their body were to- be filled up by the Crown. It was proposed that they should form a corporation, make treaties with the native tribes for cessions of territory, administer upon lands ceded to the Crown the whole system of colonization, including the receipt and expenditure of colonial funds, establish courts in the settlements for the administration of British law, make regula- tions for the government of the natives, provide for the defence and good order of the settlements by means of a militia and a colonial military and marine force, and appoint and remove at pleasure all such officers as they might require for carrying the whole measure into effect.
