A remarkable pamphlet has just been published with reference to the Moravian mission at Lake Boga. The editor is the Rev. Septimus Lloyd Chase, of St Paul's, Melbourne. The facts are briefly these: -

In 1851 the Government set apart a reserve of twenty-five square miles, at Lake Boga, for the benefit of the aborigines, and permitted the Rev. Andreas Friedrich Christian Taeger, a Moravian missionary, to form a station there.

In 1854 authority was specifically given to Mr. Taeger to occupy 1,003 acres on the reserve, and charts and a description of the land were forwarded to him.

In 1855, however, the neighboring squatters commenced to annoy them by pulling down their fences, and the Government at the same time ordered the survey of a portion of the reserve for the purpose of granting a pre-emptive right to Mr. Charles Hotson Ebden, now one of the candidates for representing Melbourne in the new Legislature.

In consequence of these aggressions Mr. Taeger came into town, and for nine weeks, with the assistance of the friends of the mission, he endeavored to get justice from the Government. Mr. Chase publishes copies of the charts forwarded to the missionaries, and the correspondence with the Government. The latter affords a very fine specimen of the circumlocutory style, and of the 'How not to do it' system.

In consequence of the treatment to which they have been subjected, the mission has been abandoned, and the Moravian brethren leave by the "True Briton."

Of course a rigid investigation will be demanded on the assembling of Parliament, but it will then be nugatory as regards justice to the mission, which Mr. Chase says was, in spite of great opposition by the squatters, exercising a beneficial influence on the native population, and now the 'poor blacks' are left without a friend.
