HBH 1892 May 6 Joseph Von PEIN Joseph Von PEIN charged with neglecting to support his child, who had been committed to St. Mary's Orphanage, AUCKLAND. He was very desirous to obtain possession of the child, who was aged 8 ½ years, and the Bench took considerable pains to make him understand the position. He was ordered to pay 4s per week every four weeks until a fresh order was made, together with 28s arrears at the same time. In the meantime his proper course was to apply to the Minister of Education for leave to take possession of the girl. He paid the £1 8s, but positively refused to pay any more in future

HBH 1892 May 4 p2 Auckland FOX Tuesday-Per United Press Association Sir William and Lady FOX celebrated their golden wedding today. A deputation waited on them at their residence and presented an illuminated address containing eight hundred signatures, in which, besides congratulations, reference was made to the valuable services rendered by Sir William as a politician, temperance reformer, &c. Congratulatory speeches were made by many old identities, Sir William FOX replied, and attributed his long life and good health to total abstinence from intoxicating drink. He said he had always been animated by a desire to do what was best for the colony and for the colonists both publicly and privately.

HBH 1892 May 4 p2 Auckland CLANSMAN The master of the scow WAIPU, which arrived this morning from NGUNGURU with logs, reports that a seaman named William CLANSMAN has been missing since last evening. He went to put out the side lights, and is supposed to have fallen overboard through slipping on the logs.

HBH 1892 May 3 VAILE Samuel and Auckland A short time ago Mr Samuel Vaile, land and estate agent, in looking through some family papers belonging to his father, the late Mr George Vaile, came across a tracing of a plan of the city of Auckland, made early in 1844 for Mr Vaile. There is a plan of the city of Auckland in the Free Public Library by Mr Felton MATTHEWS, of 1841, in which the Barrack Hill was laid out in a series of crescents and terraces. A second map of Auckland was published by order of the House of Commons in October 1842, the last-named being a very poor affair, not including a dozen streets. In the second map, as well as in the map in Mr Vaile's possession of 1844, there seems to have been considerable change in the names of the streets. In the later map, from the entry on an allotment in Wellesley-Street, 66 feet frontage, Mr Vaile's father appears to have purchased for £4! Mr Vaile has also in his possession other old printed documents, and old land sale bill of Brown and Campbell's of 1845, and one issued by Mr H.R.CRETNEY, auctioneer, relative to a sale of land in Hobson, Queen, and Victoria streets, and printed in the New Zealander office. A curious paper is the Government Emigration Office Regulations, issued in England in 1842, in the selection of laborers for a free passage to New Zealand, and the conditions on which the passages were granted; all the adults were to be capable of labor, and emigrating with the intention of working for wages after arrival. Persons in a workhouse, or in receipt of habitual parish relief were ineligible. Mr Vaile has also a copy of the land regulations issued in 1842 by Her Majesty's Commissioners for Colonial Lands and Emigration. The lowest upset price for land was to be £1 per acres. Governments could raise the price but not reduce it. No lands were to be sold by private contract except for ready money. When sold at auction 10 per cent cash and balance in a month or forfeited. Land was not to be sold in larger blocks than a square mile, but in exceptional cases the Governor could dispose of blocks, at not less than upset price, of 20,000 acres or more. Persons in England for every £100 in invested in purchasing lands could within six months of payment nominate four adults (two children to rate as an adult) for a free passage.-N.Z.HERALD.

HBH 1892 May 4 Herr REISCHEK Collection sold The zoological and ethnological collection made by Herr REISCHEK during his travelling for twelve years over New Zealand and adjacent islands excited great interest not only in Austria but on the Continent generally on the naturalist's Return to Vienna. After being visited by thousands in the Imperial Museum for Natural History, many offers of purchase from foreign countries were received, but Herr REISCHEK'S patriotism was too strong and subsequently he sold the whole collection to the Austrian Government for the handsome sum of £2400, and it will now remain permanently in the Museum.

Hi Terri, I would also suggest you join the New Zealand list as many avenues of help may then be found, this Auckland list is a much smaller one with only a few posts to it.

Ronald was born abt. 1932 and came to visit us in Scotland when he was 18. Before going to medical school. The only way I can imagine locating this family is if Rose Ann married in NZ and her maiden name was on the marriage cert. Any Ideas?

HBH 1892 April 29 Myra Kemble performers Theatre goers need scarcely be reminded that on Monday next Miss Myra KEMBLE and her comedy company will make their first appearance in the now famous farcical comedy of "Dr Bill." Of the play itself, little need be said, as the popularity it has enjoyed since its initial production in the colonies is too well known to need recording here. Of the company itself much may be said. Mrs Myra KEMBLE, wherever she has appeared, always delighted her audiences, and at present there is no more popular actress in Australia. Mrs Walter HILL and Miss Ada LEE-as bright as ever-are old favourites here George LEOPOLD as funny as of yore, is well known here. Then there is H.W.DIVER, who first made the acquaintance of the New Zealand public as the "Spider" in the Silver King company. The new people are Messrs Edwin LESTER R. Owen HARRIS J.J.WALSH E.LEONARD Misses Nellie LYONS, Madge CORCORAN, and Lillie CLITHEROW. Our old friend James KITTS looks after the money bags, and as he is wearing his best smile the inference is that they are full.
