As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions.

  • Litigation in the Early Years of the Canterbury Settlement 1852-1861
    Litigation in the early years of the Canterbury settlement 1852-1861. Jeremy Finn Associate Professor of Law University of Canterbury. Author’s Note This paper was presented at the Australian Social Sciences Association workshop on Litigation, Adelaide, 2001. A revised version was later published as: Jeremy Finn, “Litigation in the early years of the Canterbury Settlement” in W Prest and S Roche Anleu (eds) Litigation Past and Present ( Sydney UNSW Press 2004) pp59 -74 1. Introduction This paper looks at the frequency and nature of litigation in the early years of the Canterbury settlement on the east coast of the South island of New Zealand. Because this was a new settlement in an area with virtually no pre- existing European population (and few indigenous people), but was a part of a more developed colony with an existing institutional base of courts and of inherited and local law, it provides an unusual opportunity to obtain a picture of litigation in a new community which inherited, rather than developed, its legal institutions. This paper focuses on civil litigation in the Supreme Court of New Zealand, the superior court of record, and is based primarily on archival records available in Christchurch, particularly the Supreme Court Minute Book, supplemented by other archival material and by contemporary newspaper reports. The termination date of the study, around the end of September 1861, is dictated by changes in the recording of matters before the Supreme Court, under which very many fewer details are entered into the Minute Book. I must begin with a caveat that this paper does not attempt at all to deal with all cases before the courts in Canterbury – there is clearly a substantial body of disputes which were heard in the lower courts which fall outside the purview of this study; I have not looked at these, partly because it would extend this paper substantially; partly because of pressure of time, and partly because the documentary record is patchy enough to raise some doubts as to the possibility of ever establishing a sufficiently accurate picture.

  • “Not Having the Fear of God Before Her Eyes…” : Enforcement of the Criminal Law in the Courts in the Early Canterbury Settlement 1853-1862
    “Not having the fear of God before her eyes…” : enforcement of the criminal law in the courts in the early Canterbury settlement 1853-1862. Jeremy Finn School of Law, University of Canterbury. Author’s Note This paper was presented the Australia and New Zealand Law and History Society Conference, Perth, July 2004 A revised version dealing with the criminal litigation in the Supreme Court was later published, and with additional material by a co-author was published as Jeremy Finn and Charlotte Wilson) “ ‘Not having the fear of God before her eyes’: enforcement of the criminal law in the Supreme Court in Canterbury 1852-1872” (2005) 11 Canterbury LR 250-282: The material dealing with criminal law cases in the Resident Magistrates Court appears, oijnn edited and revised form in are discussed in Jeremy Finn “Debt, drunkenness and desertion: The Resident Magistrate’s Court in Early Canterbury: 1851-1861” (2005) 21 NZULR 452. Abstract: This paper looks at the criminal cases heard in the Supreme Court and the Resident Magistrate’s Courts in Lyttleton and Christchurch in the first decade of the Canterbury settlement. It reports the results, so far, of research into the range of offences prosecuted, the choices made between civil and criminal actions, the manner in which the “general” criminal law was imposed and special features of the penal laws enforced by the courts. An account of findings as to the range of defendants in both courts, and the punishments imposed on them, is given. The paper also looks at some notable cases to consider insights they give into early Canterbury society and prevailing attitudes.

  • Passenger Lists in Newspapers, on Microfilm, and Some Other Sources Held at Christchurch City Libraries
    January 2013 A guide to some of the 19th century passenger lists in newspapers, on microfilm, and some other sources held at Christchurch City Libraries Port Lyttelton, showing the first four ships and emigrants landing from the Cressy, December 28th 1850. Page 1 of 63 January 2013 The First Four Ships arrived December 1850. The ships arriving between December 1850-1853 were Canterbury Association vessels. The ships arriving between 1853-1855 came independently and not under the auspices of a government or quasi-government body. The Lyttelton Times was published from January 1851; The Press was published from 1861. At first both were published twice weekly meaning passenger lists appear in a shipping column a few days after a vessel arrives. 1850-1855 paying passengers are usually listed. Assisted passengers are not listed by name, appearing only as “and 27 in the steerage”. From 1855-1870 the Canterbury Provincial Government was in charge of immigration to Canterbury and had an emigration agent stationed in London. To help find employment for migrants, the government supplied lists of assisted migrants to the newspapers. The names of male heads of families, their home county in Britain (or their country in Europe), if they had a spouse and the number of children they brought, are published. The first names of a wife and children are not given. Children of immigrants who were older than about 12 were considered adults and are listed among the single men and women along with other single people. Sometimes the assisted people are grouped according to their occupations so that prospective employers might quickly select prospective employees.

Tree Planting in Canterbury, New Zealand, 1850–1910 PAUL STAR Independent Researcher 246 Harington Point Road RD 2, Dunedin, New Zealand Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT One hundred and fifty years ago, T.H. Potts (1824–1888) tried to save the totara forests near Christchurch, and in Parliament he made conservation of native bush a national issue. At the same time, he sought the development of New Zealand through the introduction of exotics. Potts was among the first to suggest public plantations of exotic forest trees and he experimented on his estate with Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) and Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). As a member of the Canterbury Plantation Board from its foundation in 1879 until his death, he participated in a pioneering attempt to improve the environment through exotic afforestation. Starting with consideration of Pottsʼs contribution, this paper looks at early experimentation with tree planting in Canterbury and its encouragement, which predated attempts elsewhere in New Zealand.
