  • James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?
    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

Bowyer A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2020 ii iii Acknowledgments This thesis could not have been written without the support I received from my supervisor Professor Charlotte Macdonald. Her extensive feedback and enthusiasm has made the year spent on this project one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences I have had. Thank you for being an unfailingly generous person who is so willing to impart knowledge on to your students. Thanks is also greatly owed to all the staff and postgraduate students at Victoria University of Wellington’s History Department. I am exceedingly grateful for the feedback and support you have all given me. I would not have been able to undertake this thesis without the financial support of the Jack Pearce Scholarship in English or New Zealand History, generously donated by Jack Pearce’s daughter, Brenda Joyce. Research trips were funded by Victoria University of Wellington Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Joint Research Committee. The Committee also funded my trip to the Australia and New Zealand Law and History Society Conference in Melbourne, alongside the society’s Kercher Scholarship. Attending this conference was an invaluable experience as I delved into the rich discipline of legal history. Thank you to my lovely parents, James and Helen, for always being on the other end of the phone when I need someone to chat to and for proof reading every word of this thesis.

Räkaumangamanga is my mountain, Ipipiri is my sea, Te Räwhiti is my marae, Ngäti Kuta is my sub-tribe, Ngäpuhi is my tribe, Te Nana is my ancestor, Ngä Taiapa Rino o Te Poka o Whata Paraua (Ngärino) is my name. In May 2013, on a beautiful Monday morning, around 150 members of hapü ‘sub-tribes’ from around the Bay of Islands, including Ngäti Manu and Te Kapotai and the two hapü of Te Rawhiti (Ngäti Kuta and Patu Keha), boarded a hired ferry at Opua. Along with members of the Waitangi Tribunal and their retinue, the group visited sacred and important hapü sites. We began on our precious moana ‘ocean’ and ended up travelling by bus inland to marae ‘ancestral community hubs’ at Waikare and Karetu. This was to be a historic moment as we heard from our kuia ‘female elders’ and kaumätua ‘male elders’ about the effects of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) 1840 and its insidious legacies for us today. The next day our kaikörero ‘speakers’ began four days of hearings, in which they frequently referred to documents which our tüpuna ‘ancestors’ had signed. In their Briefs of Evidence, they referred to the sacred marks their ancestors had made from their moko ‘tattoo’ on those documents, especially Te Tiriti and Te Wakaputanga (the Declaration of Independence) 1835.

  • Mt Cook, Wellington - a History
    Mt Cook, Wellington - A History Peter Cooke © WCC, 2006 The area now known as Mt Cook is defined by the hill, Pukeahu, which was renamed by early settlers after Capt James Cook, RN.1 On it was a pa, long abandoned when first seen by Pakeha eyes. Mt Cook is now a suburb of Wellington bounded by the town belt in the west (Central and Prince of Wales Parks) and the Wellington College and Government House Reserves in the east. It sits between the suburbs of Te Aro, Brooklyn and Newtown, or the arterial routes of Webb/Buckle Streets to the north, Brooklyn Hill Road in the west, John Street in the south and lower Adelaide Road in the east. Any expansion of this part of the city was constrained by the sandwiching Town Belts either side, which “played a similar role to the medieval city wall.”2 A range of official functions gave Mount Cook – the hill – early identity (and form). A military role was envisaged when the NZ Company first saw it, the company’s 1840 map showing the hill reserved for military purposes. Troops were stationed there temporarily from 1843 but barracks on and below the hill gave Mt Cook a permanent martial role and, though this role has been significantly whittled down, HMNZS Olphert still operates from Buckle St in 2006.3 Timber milled in Tasmania was brought over for the stockade and military quarters erected on Mt Cook by 1852. “The defences were between 3/4 of a mile and a mile round and the buildings were reinforced with prison-made bricks and loopholed.”4 Its other duties in the Twentieth Century were various: Mt Cook

  • Whale Fishing and the Economic Development of Early Wellington
    ‘That Glorious Stinking Stuff . .’: Whale Fishing and the Economic Development of Early Wellington BRAD PAtterson Victoria University of Wellington For generations of New Zealand school children, brought up on texts such as Our Country or The Changing Land,1 the sealers and whalers were itinerants who came after the Maori canoe migration phase, but before European settlement proper began. And the depiction of whale fishing has been an overly romantic one, owing much to what might be termed the Herman Melville tradition.2 In the words of British whaling historian Gordon Jackson, there has been a tendency to portray pursuit of the marine Leviathan by puny men more as ‘an Act of God . than as capital in the pursuit of profit’.3 To date, with the exception of Harry Morton’s monumental The Whale’s Wake,4 there has been little substantial published scholarly writing on the nineteenth century New Zealand whaling industry. Certainly, in the early 1900s Robert McNab5 published several vital compilations of relevant documents. Then, in 1965, L.S. Rickard6 produced a short popular account of the trade. But apart from several small but detailed recent monographs by Rhys Richards,7 the whalers continue to feature almost as a footnote to general and regional histories. In the present paper the primary emphasis will be on what happened after the first systematic colonisers arrived, not before. It will be suggested that in at least one New Zealand settlement, Wellington (or Port Nicholson), whale fishing continued to be of major economic importance for most of the founding decade. It will also be contended that the industry helped ensure the viability of the settlement in the short term, and that there were long-term structural legacies for the evolving settler economy.

  • Private Acts of Parliament
    653 PRIVATE ACTS OF PARLIAMENT Rt Hon Sir Ivor Richardson* The article explains the role that Private Acts of Parliament have played and still play. It does so by recounting their historical development and then discussing some 70 Bills and their progress through the Parliamentary processes. The narrative follows a broad subject-matter classification of Private Bills which are promoted by private individuals, local institutions, companies, particular charities, associations and other corporate bodies for their own benefit, whereas Public Bills and Local Bills are directed to the functioning of Central Government and Local Government respectively. I INTRODUCTION Private Acts of Parliament have waxed and waned in their apparent significance and in the numbers of highlight cases since New Zealand gained responsible government in 1856. They remain a significant function of Parliament and it is worthwhile reflecting on their historical background and the role they have played and still play there as well as in the affairs of the particular individuals and corporate bodies. McGee classifies Bills into four categories: Government Bills, dealing with a matter of public policy initiated by a Minister; Member's Bills, dealing with a matter of public policy introduced by a Member who is not a Minister; Local Bills, promoted by a local authority and confined in their effects to a particular locality; and Private Bills, promoted by a person or body of persons for the particular interest of that person or body of persons.1 Burrows and Carter explain that the three main categories of Acts of Parliament are Public, Local and Private: Public Acts affect the public at large; * Distinguished Fellow, VUW Faculty of Law.

  • St Pauls Papanui Cemetery
    St. Paul’s Anglican Cemetery Tour Papanui Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 St. Paul’s Papanui Cemetery 2007 1 Area 1 Row A No 1 Shead Just to the left as one enters St. Paul’s cemetery there is a gravestone with the wording: ‘In loving memory of Thomas Edward Shead, beloved son of J. and A. Shead, died 11 October 1882, aged 11 years and six months. Late of Phila., Penn., U.S.A.’ Atop the monument there is a striking sculpture of a handsome vigorous boy. It would seem that Thomas died of an illness. His parents, Joseph and Annie Shead, were living in Papanui at the time of their son’s death but do not appear to have remained long. No. 15 Thomson Edinburgh-born and the son of a printer, William Thomson worked as an accountant in Glasgow. He emigrated with his family, arrived in Canterbury in 1853 on the Hampshire, a vessel of about 600 tons. Theirs had been ‘a protracted voyage of five months’. Thomson attended the ball on Queen Victoria’s birthday – on 24 May – in Highland costume. The Lyttelton Maori ‘hearing of his costume, gathered along Norwich Quay to see the Taipo coming – rather peculiar considering their style of dress’. Thomson bought a property, ‘Hemingford’, at Governors Bay. It became the famous and beautiful property of sheepfarmer, scientist and conservationist T. H. Potts and was - and is - known as ‘Ohinetahi’. To get home the family had to travel by boat or walk along a very narrow track and pass through the big and little Rapaki Maori pas.
