HISTORY, LAW and LAND Final – MA Thesis
HISTORY, LAW AND LAND: The Languages of Native Policy in New Zealand’s General Assembly, 1858-62 Samuel D. Carpenter 2008 HISTORY, LAW AND LAND: The Languages of Native Policy in New Zealand’s General Assembly, 1858-62 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. Samuel D. Carpenter 2008 ii to J. H. Wright iii Abstract _________________________________________________ This thesis explores the languages of Native policy in New Zealand’s General Assembly from 1858 to 1862. It argues, aligning with the scholarship of Peter Mandler and Duncan Bell, that a stadial discourse, which understood history as a progression from savage or barbarian states to those of civility, was the main paradigm in this period. Other discourses have received attention in New Zealand historiography, namely Locke and Vattel’s labour theory of land and Wakefield’s theory of systematic colonization; but some traditions have not been closely examined, including mid-Victorian Saxonism, the Burkean common law tradition, and the French discourse concerning national character. This thesis seeks to delineate these intellectual contexts that were both European and British, with reference to Imperial and colonial contexts. The thesis comprises a close reading of parliamentary addresses by C. W. Richmond, J. E. FitzGerald and Henry Sewell. iv Acknowledgements __________________________________________________________________ I wish to thank my supervisors Peter Lineham and Michael Belgrave, who have guided me through the challenges of thesis writing, posed many helpful questions and provided research direction throughout the process.

Humanitarian Governance in Colonial New Zealand (1833 - 1872)
Humanitarian Governance in Colonial New Zealand (1833 - 1872) by Matthew Marshall Woodbury A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel, Co-Chair Professor Mrinalini Sinha, Co-Chair Professor Pamela Ballinger Professor Emeritus Richard P Tucker Matthew Marshall Woodbury [email protected] ORCID id: 0000-0003-3792-8155 © Matthew Marshall Woodbury 2018 This dissertation is dedicated to my mother, Dr. Marsha Cook Woodbury, with gratitude for her support and encouragement. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Historical inquiry can sometimes be an isolating task. Though compensated by moments of quiet but elated archival discovery and the joys of putting the finishing touch on a piece of writing, my happiest moments have been spent with the people and communities that made this work possible. Two unflappable co-chairs, Mrinalini Sinha and Kali Israel, provided a wealth of guidance and perspective at all stages of the project. Their astute commentary, insightful questions, and deep reservoirs of knowledge were crucial to the dissertation’s success. Pamela Ballinger’s introduction to the field of humanitarian history opened my eyes afresh to a topic I thought I knew. Her suggestions and feedback were central to how this project engages humanitarian action. Richard Tucker’s perspectives on the connection between environment and warfare proved especially valuable and his graciousness throughout is a model I aspire to emulate. The failings of this dissertation are, of course, mine alone. Arriving at the University of Michigan, I had no real concept of what rich academic opportunities awaited. -

A Radical Religious Heritage
A Radical Religious Heritage Auckland Unitarian Church and its Wider Connections John Maindonald April 19, 2020 Line drawings by Marge Barley Second edition, April 2020 ISBN DEDICATION OF THE NEW UNITARIAN CHURCH, PONSONBY The opening and dedication of the new Unitarian Church, Ponsonby Road, took place on Wednesday. The Rev W. Jellie presided at the dedication service. The church was well filled, and the walls were tastefully decorated. The choir and orchestra were under the baton of Mr. Gribble, choirmaster, assisted by Mr. Edgar Walton, organist. "Break Forth into Joy" (Caleb Simper), by the full choir, was a feature. In the singing of the hymns the congregation joined wholeheartedly. The party adjoined to the Foresters’ Hall, where a sumptuous repast was provided. A social gathering and public meeting were held in the evening. At intervals in the addresses, vocal and instrumental items were given. On Sunday next Rev George Walters will preach in the new church. (Auckland Star, Fri. Dec. 6, 1901.) OPENING OF CHURCH. The 4th of December 1901, will remain a historic day for us. Such a magnificent beginning surpassed our wildest hopes. It was proof that we have not only a firm root in Auckland, but also many sympathisers elsewhere.

117 JAMES PRENDERGAST AND THE TREATY OF WAITANGI: JUDICIAL ATTITUDES TO THE TREATY DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Grant Morris* Chief Justice James Prendergast has largely been demonised over the last two decades as a result of his famous decision in the Wi Parata v The Bishop of Wellington case in 1877. In that decision, he notably stated that the apparent cession of sovereignty in the Treaty of Waitangi was "a simple nullity". This statement has effectively taken on a life of its own, and is still cited – with polarising effect – in the current debate on the place of the Treaty in modern New Zealand society. The author argues, however, that the debate and commentary on the case has largely omitted to consider Prendergast as a man of his times and background and as an important part of a small legal community. The part that others had to play in the Wi Parata case is often not mentioned, for example. This article seeks to redress the balance somewhat. In doing so, it does not underestimate the devastating effect which the decision had in supporting the alienation of Maori land. However it emphasises that Prendergast's view represented the orthodoxy of the time, and for some considerable time thereafter, and that his main fault was that he failed to rise above the prejudices of the settler society in which he lived. 1 INTRODUCTION In recent decades, New Zealand as a nation has increasingly focused on Maori and Pakeha relations. Dominating the debate has been the Treaty of Waitangi, an agreement between Maori and the British Crown, signed in 1840.
