[Both versions of this section are identical to this point. The next two paragraphs do not appear in the earlier version, which has instead the following paragraph: 'In a report to the Aborigines Committee, Sir John Franklin, the Governor of Van Dieman's Land and My Lord Glenelg, strongly recommended ... "That any asylum should be given to them (the natives) at Port Philip, on the coast of New Holland, the expense of their maintenance to be paid by Van Dieman's Land. But even this miserable boon, my Lord, has been refused them, on the ground of their not being sufficiently civilized and Christianized yet. ... [sic no closing quotation mark]'.]
