  • Establishing the College, 1883,93
    Chapter Two Establishing the College, 1883,93 URING the discussions on starting a university in Auckland, and indeed Delsewhere in New Zealand, leading politicians, parsons, and newspaper editors cited precedents in Oxford, Cambridge, London, Dublin, and elsewhere, and quoted the opinions of John Stuart Mill, Mark Pattison, and others on higher education. But what could a university college be like in Auckland? In many respects it took a long time to discover any lasting answers. But the College Council and its Professorial Board were not inhibited in making experiments and advancing, or at least sending out scouting parties, in various educational directions. While the College was small it is possible to see its work whole; to see in one glance most of its efforts to find its niche in the colonial cultural ecology of Auckland. On a minute scale, very many of the activities of the large University of a century later were attempted, often without much success. In 1881, although the University College Bill did not receive its third reading, Parliament had voted £1,500 for the College. In March 1882, without waiting for the Bill to pass, the Minister of Education, Thomas Dick, instructed Francis Dillon Bell, the Agent-General in London, to engage the services of a Professor of Classics and English and a Professor of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics at £700 a year each.1 Once the Act was passed he was also asked to find a Professor of Chemistry and Experimental Physics and another professor for Natural Science. Applicants were not sought in Australasia. The Agent-General recounted some of his difficulties over the appointments in letters to Sir John Hall, the Premier in 1879 to 1882.

  • The Origins and Commencement of National Indigenous Political Representation in New Zealand Through the 1867 Maori Representation Act
    ‘A Proud Thing To Have Recorded’: The Origins and Commencement of National Indigenous Political Representation in New Zealand through the 1867 Maori Representation Act PAUL MOON Abstract In 1867, the New Zealand House of Representatives passed the Maori Representation Act, which entitled Māori males aged twenty-one and over to vote for a Māori member of the House. This article traces the constitutional origins of the Act, and concludes with a survey of the initial responses in some Māori communities to the passage of the legislation. What is evident in this analysis is that the Act was driven by various motives, ranging from pacifying Māori hostility, to the desire by some legislators to secure a parliamentary presence for Māori in order to make the House more representative. Introduction In 1840, the British Crown concluded the Treaty of Waitangi with around 540 Māori chiefs. This heralded the commencement of direct colonial rule through governors, who presided without the aid of any representative assembly. The passage of the 1852 New Zealand Constitution Act, however, gave New Zealand a bicameral parliament, which came into being in 1854. However, over the next decade, Māori continued to be largely excluded from the legislative process, even though some of the statutes passed by the early New Zealand parliaments affected Māori land, often adversely. Just over a decade after New Zealand acquired its own parliament, consideration began to be given by some of the country‟s politicians to the possibility of the indigenous Māori population having representation in the lower house – the House of Representatives. The purpose of this article is to survey the events leading up to establishment of the four Māori seats through the provisions of the 1867 Maori Representation Act, and the aftermath of the Act‟s passage.

  • Editorial Introduction
    New Zealand Journal of History, 51, 1 (2017) Editorial Introduction With the publication of this volume, the New Zealand Journal of History turns 50. Started by colleagues in the Department of History at the University of Auckland, its founding editor, Keith Sinclair, included a brief ‘Editorial Note’ in the inaugural issue. The new journal, he wrote, would be ‘particularly interested in articles on New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific and Southeast Asia’, but would ‘not ignore New Zealand’s historical origins in Great Britain and Europe, nor its place in the Commonwealth’.1 Raewyn Dalziel’s first article in the journal, a study of Julius Vogel — politician, businessman and the colony’s Agent-General in the United Kingdom — was a perfect fit for the journal, but it was her second NZJH contribution, the 1977 essay ‘The Colonial Helpmeet: Women’s Role and the Vote in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand’, that signalled the arrival of a significant voice in the field of New Zealand’s women’s and gender history. 2 Raewyn Dalziel’s history with the NZJH is wide-ranging and lengthy. As well as publishing her own work in the journal, she guest-edited the April 1989 special issue on women’s history and again in October 1993, when the NZJH marked the centennial of New Zealand women’s franchise. Dalziel is also the longest-serving member of the editorial team. From October 1972 through to the journal’s move to Dunedin in 2013, she has variously been its Business Manager, an associate editor and a member of the Editorial Board.

  • Sir Harry Atkinson and the Conservative Faction in New Zealand Politics, 1879-1890
    Sir Harry Atkinson and the Conservative Faction in New Zealand Politics, 1879-1890 INTERPRETATIONS of Sir Harry Atkinson's role in New Zealand political history have undergone considerable revision since they were first attempted by the nineteenth century historians, W. Gis- borne, A. Saunders and W. P. Reeves. Yet Atkinson remains to us what he was to them, a decidedly enigmatic figure. Gisborne recon- ciled the contradictions of Atkinson's behaviour by explaining that Atkinson's primary political principle was the desire for power.1 Saunders was moved by his hatred of Atkinson to add that Atkinson was a failed farmer who clung to power for the sake of profit.2 But neither Gisborne nor Saunders had an effect on subsequent writers equal to that of Reeves. Reeves was writing the first radical history of New Zealand and to him Atkinson's role was plain: he was the Conservative Premier who had delayed the Liberals' occupation of the Treasury benches. In order to make the revolutionary significance of the change of power in 1890 quite clear, Reeves described Atkin- son, along with Sir Frederick Whitaker and Sir John Hall, as leaders of a New Zealand Conservative party which had held power, with minor interruptions, since 1879. Reeves qualified his picture by pointing out that Atkinson held 'quasi-socialistic views' and was one of 'the more broadminded of the oligarchs'.3 Some twentieth century historians have enlarged upon this, pointing out that Atkinson took radical stands on the issues of female suffrage and social security, and that except on financial ques- tions, he cannot properly be labelled a conservative.4 A small minority 1 W.

  • 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.

  • Orpheus in Pieces
    Orpheus in Pieces PHILIP ARMSTRONG Abstract On 7 February 1863, the Royal Navy corvette H.M.S. Orpheus, en route from Sydney to Auckland, was wrecked at the entrance of the Manukau Harbour, with the loss of 189 men. This essay offers a “new materialist” retelling of that story, one that seeks to identify the roles played by nonhuman agents of various kinds (such as sand, mud, trees, animals, tides, rain, wind) alongside the roles played by human protagonists (both individual and collective). To help convey the sense of this event as a production by an ensemble cast of actors, I have used the form of creative narrative nonfiction, while remaining within the documented facts. Rollers Under the long light of an Auckland summer evening, the rollers come in from the Tasman. Gently, they wash several bodies towards the shore. Some have been stripped naked by the rough seas two days earlier; others are still wearing their duck trousers and shirts. The waves arrange them like driftwood along the black sand. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Auckland isthmus, three gentlemen board H.M.S. Miranda, a Royal Navy vessel at anchor in the Waitemata Harbour. The New Zealand premier, Alfred Domett, and two other government men are here to conduct initial inquiries into the wreck of H.M.S. Orpheus, which, arriving from Sydney, ran aground and broke up at the entrance of the Manukau two nights ago, on 7 February 1863, with the loss of 189 men, including Commodore William Farquharson Burnett CB. How could a newly built corvette, with its commodore, commander, and sailing master on the bridge, proceeding under steam and sail on a fine summer’s day, have come to grief so catastrophically only a couple of cable lengths from land? Aboard Miranda, Premier Domett and his colleagues put their questions to surviving Orpheus crew and officers.

  • Fact Sheet from Talking Shop to Party Government
    From talking shop to party government: procedural change in the New Zealand Parliament, 1854-1894 John E. Martin This paper is reproduced with permission as published in the Australasian Parliamentary Review, vol 26, no 1, Autumn 2011 This article looks at parliamentary business in the nineteenth-century New Zealand Parliament, making comparisons with the British and Australian state Parliaments. Together with its companion article for the twentieth century, also to be published in this journal, it develops further the argument of a previous paper (see Related Documents) which examined the shifting balance between Parliament and the executive in New Zealand and the rise to dominance of the executive in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 1 The two articles document changes in procedure accompanying this shifting balance. The second article will look at the strengthening of control over business of the House in the twentieth century as governments sought to pass compact legislative programmes in their entirety, followed by more recent changes which were associated with a lessening of government control in some respects. Today and for the last century almost all legislation introduced into Parliament has originated from government and was virtually certain to pass into the statute book. In the middle decades of the nineteenth century the situation differed markedly. Private members’ bills comprised about 40 per cent of all bills and a substantial proportion of bills – between one-third and a half – did not become law. There were also private and local bills to consider. Governments had to find time for their business alongside these other demands and could not expect that their legislation would necessarily go through.

  • The Squatters' Club
    WELCOME TO THE HOCKEN Friends of the Hocken Collections BULLETIN NUMBER 58 : August 2008 THE SQUAttERS’ CLUB PART ONE THE BEGINNINGS The leases of pastoral land in Otago were available from the mid-1850s. Alexander Bathgate in his ‘Colonial Experiences’ (1874), wrote: ‘The class of run-holders or pastoral tenants of the Crown, comprises for the most part of men of refinement and education, and they are nick-named by the Liberal party the “squattocracy” (sic), from the word squatter, which is also a name frequently applied to them. They hold depasturing lands over large tracts of country, averaging about 50,000 acres...’ On 31st August 1856 a ‘Squatters’ Association’ was formed ‘for the Advance of Runholding interests’ — but it was short-lived and no records appear to be extant. It was, however, the precursor of the Squatters’ Club — more formally known as the Otago Club or the Dunedin Club. In a letter of 18th June 1859, James Murison, a Maniototo run-holder noted: ‘We have got an Otago Club now.
