Excerpt from The Colonial Church Chronicle, and Missionary Journal, Vol. 2: July, 1848 June, 1849 That unless a due supply of immigrants be speedily obtained, the ruin of many employers of labour must inevitably ensue, and the general welfare of all classes of the Colonists be seriously impaired: that so great is the distress experienced from this want of labour, that the Colonists have in some instances been induced to have recourse to the importation of Coolies from India, and of savage natives from the Polynesian Islands: that New South \vales, with a population of souls, contains sheep, and head of horned cattle, (being at the rate of forty sheep and seven cows for every inhabitant): that the Colony presents the means of immediate employment and advantageous settlement during the ensuing twelve months for souls, including women and children.
