Sir George Grey, governor, high commissioner, and premier : an historical biography . e ExecutiveCouncil. He expressed his conviction that a great wronghad been done. The natives were wholly in the right.And he urged that steps should be publicly taken toacknowledge the justice of their cause. The Ministryshould issue a proclamation declaring that the land-purchase should be rescinded and amends made.
