He was traced to his lodging, by a policeman, on the same evening, and a large number of similar sixpencees to those he had given for the rum were found in his pocket; and afterward, the same officer proceeded on board a small vessel, in which HILL had came down the river, and found a lump of pewter, a spoon, and a mould in his chest. These were produced in Court. The prisoner made no defense, and was remanded. a person named JOHN DUNCAN, who had also been drinking at Vercoe's on Sunday, was charged with having two of these base coins in his possession. He was also remanded. Please feel free to send or forward this post to any list or individual who may have an interest in it. Regards Maureen Donwen

The New Zealander Page 3 June 7 1851 http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/ ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor of the New Zealander Sir, - On the 23rd May a paragraph appeared in the Southern Cross, which might prove most prejudicial to me, and you would be rendering me a great favor by inserting the following. The day on which H.M. ships Havannah and Fly entered the harbour, I had to be in Auckland at the christening of my children, and having to leave Victoria Mount early in the day, the signal was merely hoisted to indicate the ships in sight; had I been at the station, the signal would have been shewn sooner that two of H.M. Ships were coming in. I beg to state also that I do not consider the working of the signal station as a mere "game of flags," as the editor styles it, but a duty which I always endeavour to fulfil to the satisfaction of the public, nor am I a drone as the same individual would try to prove, having other government duties to perform, in addition to the signal station; besides which I have to fetch wood and water for the use of my family from a distance of nearly half a mile. In reference to the three vessels that came in on Sunday, the 18th May, the Editor states, no one could tell from whence they came - may I ask how is it possible for me to tell when no pilot was taken on board, nor even a signal hoisted? Mistakes are often made by vessels coming in, shewing wrong signals, but still I am bound to answer the same at the station. On a former occasion the editor of the Southern Cross ridiculed me in a most shameful manner, and complained of my neglect of duty, but contradicted all he said in the following published paper, finding himself in fault instead of me; it would have been as well had he this time have ascertained whether I deserved his censure, before publishing what he has. Apologizing for the length of my letter, and for trespassing on our valuable time, I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant THOMAS DUDOR Signal Station, Victoria Mount June 2nd, 1851.

It will be observed that there are an un-usually large number of new applicants. Were they all to succeed, the public-houses in Auckland and its neighbourhood would be nearly doubled at once. At all events so far as these Houses are necessary for public accommodation, it is obvious that they should be as much as possible confined to the leading thoroughfares. In the back and little frequented streets they too frequently become rather nuisances and receptacles of vice.

The New Zealander http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/ Wednesday December 11th 1850 ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor of the New Zealander SIR - On my arrival in the colony I was so much struck with the very contradictory accounts which were given me of the climate of the country around Auckland that I resolved to keep a regular record of the weather, in order that I might be able to send a really correct account of it to my friends. I have therefore noted down regularly the state of the weather every day from the 1st December, 1849, and I send you a copy of the results, thinking that it may be interesting to some of your readers. Your readers in this colony are of course aware of the fact, which it is yet proper to mention for the sake of others, that last winter is, I believe, universally allowed to have been a much better one than the average of winters here. I rather suppose however, that the spring, or at least part of it, has been fully as wet and stormy as the average Year Month clear cloudy Clear Showery Wet days days windy days 1849 Dec 22 1 0 5 3 1850 Jan 22 1 0 7 1 Feb 20 3 1 4 0 Mar 16 2 2 10 1 Apr 18 2 0 8 2 May 14 5 0 10 2 Jun 12 3 1 9 5 Jul 16 4 0 10 1 Aug 12 2 3 12 2 Sep 15 1 1 11 2 Oct 9 5 2 15 0 Nov 13 2 1 8 6 Of frosty mornings there were - in June, 5; July, 5; August, 3; and September, 6; in all 19. I have set down as wet days all those on which rain fell continuously during the greater part of the day. I have set down as showery, every day in which I observed rain to fall in any less degree; on some of these a very considerable quantity of rain fell at intervals, accompanied by heavy squalls, many of them, however, were fine days, with only slight showers in the mornings or evenings. R. B. LUSK. December 9, 1850

Hello All, Welcome to the new NZ-Auckland Roots Web Mailing list. The purpose of this list is much the same as all the other Roots web lists, and that is to pursue genealogy. This list is aimed primarily at the greater Auckland area, Auckland City and the surrounding districts. There is a wealth of information out there about Auckland, it's history as the first capital of the new colony in the 1840's, and the families who emigrated here in the hopes of a better life. There are very few rules here. If you have a problem with anything related to this list please feel free to contact me [email protected] and I'll do my best to help you out. Please feel free to post your interests or queries and lets kick this list off. regards Maureen Donwen List Admin NZ-Auckland and, New Zealand Fencibles.
