SCHEDULE OF TARANAKI PURCHASES AND NATIVE RESERVES, 1844- 1860 The early purchases of the New Zealand Company were abandoned after the Commissioner of Lands' inquiry into the land titles. This schedule begins with the Fitzroy block purchase, 1844. The schedule shows: 1. Extent of the land purchased. 2. Reserves made and extent. 3. Iwi/hapu. 4. Number of signatures to the deeds of purchase. * Indicates the original deeds were written in Maori, English translations were not appended. From my understanding, acreage was not given and provision for reserves was not made. May require expert translation. 1. FITZROY DATE PURCHASED: 28 November 1844 IWI PURCHASED FROM: Ngamotu NUMBER OF SIGNATURES: 83 (approximate count) EXTENT OF PURCHASE: boundaries shown but acreage not given in original deed, later Crown Grant shows "3500 acres more or less" RESERVES MADE: retention of "pas, cultivations, burial places and reserves" in original deed Two original deeds of purchase were signed for the Fitzroy block. The above was signed in Taranaki, the second was signed in Wellington on 12 April 1848. The above original deed of purchase does not define the extent of the purchase. The later Crown Grant shows 3500 acres. The original deed of purchase does not define native reserves beyond the above and there was no map with the deed to show the reserves. However, a Crown Grant for the Fitzroy block to the NZ Company, issued on the 8 April 1850, has an accompanying map that clearly marks 19 native reserves (shown as native reserves Nos. 7-25). On a Lands and Survey Statutory map 22 reserves are shown: Native Reserve Acreage 1 66.0.0 reserved for Rangikapuoho & son 2 1. 0.0 3 0.2.0 4 3.2.0 7 5 9.0.0 6 1. 0.0 7 7.0.0 8 4.0.0 9 0.2.0 10 14.0.0 11 3.0.0 12 10.0.0 13 17.0.0 14 1. 0.0 15 0.3.0 16 30.0.0 17 41.0.0 18 9.0.0 19 4.0.0 ------ 219.1.0 (By my calculations this is wrong and should be 222.1.0 acres) 20 18.0.0 reserved for 5 years 21 19.0.0 reserved for 5 years 22 6.0.0 reserved for 5 years 262.1.0 (By my calculations this is wrong and should be 265.1.0 acres) The 3 reserves set aside for 5 years could be the difference between the 22 reserves of the Statutory map and the 19 reserves of the Crown Grant.

TATARAIMAKA DATE PURCHASED: 11 May 1847 IWI PURCHASED FROM: Taranaki NUMBER OF SIGNATURES: 16 EXTENT OF PURCHASE: boundaries shown but acreage not given in copy of deed, later Crown Grant shows 4000 acres more or less. Parsonson reports 3500 acres. Lands and Survey Statutory map shows "3560 acres purchased in May 1847 and 500 acres purchased in 1849 - estimated at 4060 acres" total RESERVES MADE: no reference to native reserves in copy of deed DOSLI Head Office and New Plymouth District Office do not hold the original deed of purchase. A Crown Grant for the Tataraimaka block to the New Zealand Company, issued on the 8 April 1850, shows "4000 acres more or less". It shows no native reserves, nor does Turton's copy of the deed. In addition, a Lands and Survey Statutory map shows Tataraimaka block with no reserves. This same map shows 3560 acres were purchased in May 1847 and 500 acres were purchased in 1849, with the total acreage purchased estimated to be 4060 acres.

  • New Zealand Wars Fortifications Were Used for Tactical and Strategic Purposes
    Fortifications of the New Zealand Wars Nigel Prickett In Memory Tony Walton [26 November 1952 – 6 November 2008] New Zealand archaeological sites central file-keeper New Zealand Historic Places Trust [1978–1987] Department of Conservation [1987–2008] This report is one of the last Department of Conservation archaeological contract projects in which Tony was involved and reflects his interest in historic sites of the New Zealand Wars, and so is a fitting tribute to his career. Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.

  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics Issue 15 July
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 15 July 2017 From the archive: Emily Harris Letters and Diary Excerpts 1860-63 Notes Michele Leggott and Fredrika Van Elburg The manuscripts The letters and diary excerpts presented here are part of the Emily Harris papers at Puke Ariki Museum in New Plymouth (ARC2002-190). They consist of manuscripts copied in Emily Harris’s hand from originals apparently no longer extant. These manuscripts take the form of two hand-bound booklets (fascicles) and two letters on single folded folios typical of personal letters of the period. Taken together, the manuscripts cover events in Emily Harris’s life between September 1860 and March 1863. Geographically they move from New Plymouth under siege to Hobart, Tasmania, where Emily continued living with the Des Voeux family. That Emily Harris copied more material is evident from the fragmented nature of the surviving fascicles. Fascicle 1 (28 pp) is seven folios folded and centre-bound, but an unknown number of pages are missing between its outermost folio and the other six. Fascicle 2 (6 pp) is three folios cut from an exercise book and bound at the left edge. Emily Harris’s motive for assembling letters and diary excerpts is unrecorded and the date of the copying is unknown. Her nieces Miss Ruth Moore and Mrs Ella Grace Hobbs donated their aunt’s papers to the then Taranaki Museum in 1961. Letters, Scraps of Diary &c MS copy of diary entries 10 - 12 Sept 1860, including poem and account of 11 Sept attack on Huirangi.
