To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
William Charles Went- worth, Mr. A' Beckett, and Mr. Darvall, barristers-at-law, were introduced to the Council, and on that and several subsequent days addressed the members in opposition to the Bill. The burden of Mr. Busby's contention in defence of his claim to 50, 000 acres, including the site of a township, was that the Bill sought to legalise confiscation, and that therefore the principles which it was designed to enact were at variance with and in excess of all that was sanc- tioned by ...the British constitution. 1 No doubt, he said, there were many claims to land in New Zealand which would not bear investigation ; but contrariwise there were many respectable settlers on the banks of the rivers and shores of the harbours who would be deeply injured were 1 Mr. Busby laid off a portion of his property on the bank of the Waitangi River as a township, which he dignified by the name of, Victoria. Here he marked off streets, squares, and reserves for public buildings, the lots being sold to Sydney speculators and settlers at Kororareka at the rate of from ^100 to ^400 per acre.
