TitleIllustrated London News 1865 vol.46 page 246DescriptionArticle continues from page 245 on the House of Commons debate over New Zealand affairs, noting the rare consensus between British and colonial leaders that the colony should assume both self-government and responsibility for its own defence. The article outlines the withdrawal of Imperial troops, the new expectation that settlers manage future conflicts with Māori, and argues that this shift - despite concerns - may ultimately benefit both communities by encouraging restraint, reducing dependence on British intervention, and fostering conditions for peaceful coexistence and Māori advancement.Year1865Volume46Page Number246FormatNewspaper article
