  • Pastoralist and Maoris, Frederick Weld
    Pastoralist and Maoris FREDERICK WELD AT WHAREKAKA TRAVELLERS motoring into present-day Martinborough and taking time to observe the countryside traversed by the main road may pause to read an Historic Places Trust sign some ten kilometres south of the township. The placard marks the site of Wharekaka, the first sheep station to be established in the Wairarapa valley and the first of three properties belong- ing to one of the most successful pastoral partnerships in early New Zealand history. This article seeks to examine one of the least well docu- mented aspects of early pastoralism in the Wairarapa, the nature of rela- tions between the squatters and the local Maori people, the Ngati Kahungungu. by focussing in some detail on Frederick Weld's experiences and reactions during his first year in the valley. The study is important, first, for the insight it gives into a relatively neglected area of cultural contact in early New Zealand history. Second, the experiences and atti- tudes formulated during the first year in the valley help to explain the native policy pursued by Weld when minister of native affairs and premier, and the origin of the 'self-reliant' defence policy which marked his premiership in 1864-65. Weld was a most unlikely pioneer. Born into a prominent West Country Catholic family, twenty-year-old Frederick had arrived in Port Nicholson on St George's Day 1844 with a modest sum of gold sovereigns, and New Zealand Company land orders for one town and one hundred country acres in the settlement. In outward appearance this genteel and devout 'handsome blue-eyed aristocrat',1 with his long brown curling hair, slim build and history of delicate health, seemed singularly ill-fitted for the rigours of any kind of rough pioneering life.

  • English Law and the Mäori Response: a Case Study from the Runanga System in Northland, 1861-65
    ENGLISH LAW AND THE MÄORI RESPONSE: A CASE STUDY FROM THE RUNANGA SYSTEM IN NORTHLAND, 1861-65 VINCENT O’MALLEY HistoryWorks, Wellington Examples of the genuine devolution of state authority to Mäori tribal communities are few in New Zealand history until at least the late 20th century. Sir George Grey’s 1861 “plan of native government”, usually described as the “new institutions” or “runanga system” (Ward 1974:125), is often cited as one of the earliest efforts in this direction. Yet there was never any intention of allowing the runanga (tribal councils or assemblies) established under this system to develop into state-sanctioned instruments of genuine self-government. The extension of English law into what were perceived to be ungovernable Mäori districts remained the priority throughout. With unofficial runanga already widely established in many Mäori communities, officials saw an opportunity to harness the energies of these in pursuit of government objectives (O’Malley 2004:47). Widespread suspicion of Crown intentions in the wake of the first Taranaki War saw Grey’s plans flatly rejected in many areas (Ward 1974:132-33). Meanwhile, chiefs in those districts where the runanga system was most fully implemented proved no more willing to be duped into enforcing Päkehä laws against their own communities. Government officials, who had hoped to appropriate for their own ends the aspirations of Mäori in such districts for state recognition of existing tribal governance structures, instead found the new runanga system reappropriated by iwi (‘tribal’) leaders in pursuit of their own, rather different objectives. An assertion of British sovereignty from one perspective was thus viewed from another as belated recognition of the right of Mäori communities to manage their own affairs in accordance with their own customs, as had been widely understood by many chiefs to have been promised to them under the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.

  • 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.

PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

  • Western Australia a History from Its Discovery to the Inauguration of the Commonwealth
    WESTERN AUSTRALIA A HISTORY FROM ITS DISCOVERY TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH BY J.S. BATTYE, LITT.D. PUBLIC LIBRARIAN OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1924. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, COPENHAGEN, NEW YORK, TORONTO, MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, MADRAS, SHANGHAI. HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY. PREFACE. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest. The work has been the result of over twenty years' research, undertaken, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Registrar-General (Mr. M.A.C. Fraser) and his Deputy (Mr. W. Siebenhaar) for the purpose of checking the historical introduction to the Year Book of Western Australia. It has since been continued in the hope that it may prove a contribution of more or less value to the history of colonial development. In the prosecution of the work, the files of the Public Record Office, London, were searched, and copies made of all documents that could be found which related to the establishment and early years of the colony. These copies are now in the possession of the Public Library of Western Australia, which contains also most of the published matter in the way of books and pamphlets dealing with the colony, as well as almost complete files of the local newspapers to date, and the original records of the Colonial Secretary's Office up to 1876.

  • The Post-Leadership Activities of New Zealand Premiers
    LIFE AFTER POLITICS? THE POST-LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES OF NEW ZEALAND PREMIERS AND PRIME MINISTERS, 1856-2008. BY JESS BOOKER A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Victoria University of Wellington 2013 2 Acknowledgements Much of this thesis has been written from Pipitea Street, Thorndon. Working from this setting has brought the area to life, particularly as I have worked through New Zealand’s early colonial history. Each morning as I walked to my office, I passed through the centre of New Zealand’s political system, knowing how rich in history it was. I therefore want to say thanks in particular to the bronzed Keith Holyoake on Molesworth Street, now the unexpected bastion of the New Zealand Rugby building. Keith’s friendly demeanour as I headed to work on my thesis reminded me of the important contribution that each political leader has made to New Zealand. I must also thank Jon Johansson for his incredible support in writing this thesis. I am forever indebted for the valuable knowledge and insights that Jon contributed to this work. At times I struggled to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and his words of encouragement have helped me greatly to get to this point. I would like to also thank my friends, family and colleagues for the various offers of wine, proof-reading and encouragement. They have enriched this thesis in ways they probably never thought possible. I thank Colin for his love and support, without it I would have never have finished this thesis.

There exist almost side by side: (1) the Straits Settlements, exhibiting the system character istic of the government of India, that of holding certain strategic points under direct British adminis- tration, while controlling, as a dependent
