Arch 471: W.H. Scotter Christchurch City Libraries Arch 471 Arch 471 W.H. Scotter Ashburton : A history with records of town and country Notes: Handwriten notes found interspersed with the typescript have not been removed. This decision is based on the assumption that they appear to directly relate. Unnumbered typescript pages were not removed or individually listed if interspersed with numbered pages. Any breaks in pagination due to a page not being originally included is not listed. i.e. if there is a note on e.g. p.24 to go straight to p.26, p.25 is not recorded as missing. Redrafts of pages have been placed at the end of an item or in numerical order within an item depending on what would be the least confusing. There may well be gaps in the typescript of the five sections but because of the nature of the material due to redrafts of pages and parts of sections the information is often in a different order from that published. Item nos.with * beside them indicate that they were in an envelope labelled “My draft of Parts 2, 3, 4”. The words “Part/s” and “Section/s” are interchangeable. The word chosen is what has been transcribed from any folders, paper used etc to keep the various drafts together. This was done to help those using the material to discern the order in which the redrafts were done. Pages labelled “miscellaneous” were unable to be identified and have been listed along with the material interspersed with. Ashburton : A history with records of town and country.

Material that was found contained in an envelope etc was not rearranged and has been listed together with a note* made in the box list. This decision was made based on the assumption that they were likely to have been drafted at the same time. Some chapter numbers in the various drafts did not correspond with the chapter numbers in the book.

  • Bromley Cemetery Guide
    Bromley Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Block 1A Row C No. 33 Hurd Born at Hinton, England, Frank James Hurd emigrated with his parents. He worked as a contractor and, in 1896, in Wellington, married Lizzie Coker. The bride, 70, claimed to be 51 while the groom, 40, gave his age as 47. Lizzie had emigrated on the Regina in 1859 with her cousin, James Gapes (later Mayor of Christchurch) and his family and had already been twice-wed. Indeed, the property she had inherited from her first husband, George Allen, had enabled her second spouse, John Etherden Coker, to build the Manchester Street hotel which bears his name. Lizzie and Frank were able to make trips to England and to Canada where there dwelt Lizzie’s brother, once a member of the Horse Guards. Lizzie died in 1910 and, two years later, Hurd married again. He and his wife lived at 630 Barbadoes Street. Hurd was a big man who, in old age he had a white moustache, cap and walking stick. He died, at 85, on 1 April 1942. Provisions of Lizzie’s will meant that a sum of money now came to the descendants of James Gapes. They were now so numerous that the women of the tribe could spend their inheritance on a new hat and have nothing left over. Block 2 Row B No. 406 Brodrick Thomas Noel Brodrick – known as Noel - was born in London on 25 December 1855. In 1860 the Brodricks emigrated on the Nimrod.

  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
    WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’.

    Economics of supply reliabiliity of irrigation water Femi Olubode‐Awwosola1, Upananda Herath Paragahawewa1, Martin Upsdell1 & Don Vattala2 1AgResearch Ltd., Ruakura Research Centre, Hamiltton, New Zealand 2Environment Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Paper presented at the 2013 NZARES Conference Lincoln University – Canterbury, New Zealand. August 28‐30, 2013 Copyright by author(s). Readers may make copies of this document for non‐commercial purposes only, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies Economics of supply reliability of irrigation water Femi Olubode-Awosola,* Upananda Herath Paragahawewa,* Martin Upsdell,* Don Vattala** *AgResearch Ltd., Ruakura Research Centre, Hamilton, New Zealand **Environment Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand SUMMARY In this study, we have assessed the economic impact of potential increase in supply reliability of irrigation water in the Hinds Plains Area in the Ashburton district. The Hinds catchment has a number of irrigation schemes namely, Rangitata Diversion Race (provides water for Mayfield Hinds and Valetta Schemes), Barrhill Chertsey, Eiffelton and Lynford Schemes. All these schemes have varying supply reliability which ranges from 40% to 80% approximately. First, we estimated the relationship between water availability and pasture growth using experimental data. We then employed this relationship to estimate the potential incremental pasture growth with assumed increased supply reliability (95%) at farm level. We estimated the farm level benefit of increased pasture production in terms of saved costs in supplementary feed. These farm level estimates were used to assess the catchment level farm income gain. The catchment level income gain was then employed to assess the regional level economic gain (GDP and employment) by the socio-accounting matrix input-output model (SAMI-O) simulation.

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.
