HBH 1892 July 29th Thistle SHIPPING NOTE The schooner Thistle from the Solomon Group, which put into Newcastle recently with the captain ill, left the "coal city" in tow of the steamer Alice for Sydney. The Thistle has had a successful trip so far as trading is concerned. She left Sydney on April 8, and arrived at St. Anna on the 23rd. Here a boat came off for mails, and reported the murder by natives of a trader named Francis NYBERG. He was murdered ten days previous. The island of Munia was called at, and after collecting a valuable cargo the return trip was commenced. Bunyetta Point was cleared on the 18th instant. Variable weather was had till abreast of Crowdy Heads on the 24th, when a heavy southwest gale was encountered, in which several sails were carried away. Two heavy seas were shipped, smashing part of the bulwarks and washing the captain away from the wheel. After this light winds and calms prevailed to Newcastle and Captain HAWKINS decided to run in for medical advice. Captain HAWKINS was attended by a medical man, and was found to be suffering from rheumatic fever and injuries received by being washed away from the wheel.

Good morning all These last three days have been great. Graham and Alison Shaw from Taihape New Zealand have been here with John and Clare Meyers in Port Macquarie NSW. Graham's GGM and John GGGM Julia Lazarus went to NZ with her THIRD partner and so started a line of New Zealand Shaw's and Meyers. Graham's family continue to live in New Zealand but most of the Meyers family emigrated to NSW between 1878 and 1888. There are Meyers relatives in New Zealand who we have never met as well as Lewis family members. Henry Meyers married Matilda Lewis in Auckland in 1867. If you have any ability to track down any Meyers, Lewis or even Dorn families who may be related, I would be very grateful if you could pass their contact details to us. Meanwhile the Shaw's and Meyers celebrate a great three days and look forward to our next happy visit to New Zealand in September/October. Kind regards John and Clare Meyers Port Macquarie NSW Graham and Alison Shaw Taihape

HBH 1892 July 23 AUCKLAND Telegraphic news - Friday A fire occurred at midnight last night on the premises of Mr J.H.DALTON, tailor. It is conjectured that the fire originated through some ashes being put in a wooden box. The stock is insured for £400 and was damaged to the value of £200. The stock in the front shop was safely removed. The building which was slightly damaged, belongs to the Oddfellows, and is insured for £400 in the south British. Messrs MACARTHUR and Co have arranged to purchase the whole of the output of the Onehunga woollen mills for five years. This involves a total of £125, 000. The City Council, while agreeing with the Department of Agriculture as to the desirableness of tree planting, declined to declare Arbor Day a holiday. Some Councillors seem to think that there is enough holidays already.

HBH 1892 July 19 4 FEMALE FRANCHISE Wellington, Monday FEMALE FRANCHISE I am informed by a member of the Legislative Council who was one of the strongest opponents of female franchise last session that the council will pass the clause in the Electoral Bill giving the franchise to women. My informant states that his views on the question have been considerably modified since last year, and that although he has not quite made up his mind whether or not he will vote for the extension of the franchise to women he will at any rate not vote against it. He considers that whilst on the one hand female franchise will go in the direction of extending the one-man-one-vote principle by swelling the votes of the working classes who possess the voting power in the present Parliament, on the other hand it will ensure the constituencies will not be at the mercy of the floating population but that the franchise will be exercised by the wives and daughters of the genuine settlers of the colony. The position of the Council is, however, somewhat peculiar as last year 32 Councillors voted-15 for female franchise and 17 against. Of the 15 two (Mr FULTON AND Mr MARTIN ) are dead, and two (Mr ACLAND and Mr WILLIAMS) are absent from the colony. Of the 17, two (Mr BOWEN and Mr PEACOCK) are absent, and five of the present members of the Council (Messrs MORRIS, OLIVER, SHEPHARD, STEVENS, and SCOTLAND) did not vote owing to absence and other causes. Of those Mr SHEPHARD is still absent through illness, and assuming the votes go as last year there would remain eleven. Messrs: BAILLIE, BARNICOAT, HOLMES, JOHNSTON, KENNY, M'LEAN, ORMOND, PHARAZYN, POLLEN, REYNOLDS, and STEWART for female franchise, and fifteen, Messrs: BOWEN, DIGNAN, GRACE, HART, MANTELL, MILLER, SHRIMAKI, SWANSON, TAIAROA, WAHAWAHA, WALKER, WHYTE, WILLIAMS, Sir Patrick BUCKLEY, Sir George WHITMORE against it, with four doubtful. But as that clause will be settled in committee Captain BAILLIE will be in the chair, thus losing one vote for female franchise, and Mr MILLER, who is against it, will be free to vote, not being in the chair as Speaker. This would give 15 against, to 10 for on the last year's basis. But it is said that Sir Patrick BUCKLEY (as having charge of the Government Bill) and Mr WHYTE, as well as one or two others, will not vote against the clause if they do not vote for it, and that in effect it will be allowed to be carried by a majority of one or two with the aid of the Government.

Looking for any records on early business Queen St Auckland 1864 -1876 . I believe my gtgtgtgrandfather Charles Woodward had a bakery business can you help me Thank you Wayne Woodward

Hello Wayne. I don't know if this might help you, but a LONG time ago, the Auckland City Library helped me greatly with their copies of very early annual Police Census reports. These were detailed in order of STREET address. The relevant periods for me were the late 1840s and early 1850s; so I am not sure whether or not they extended down to your dates; but hopefully the latest available ones might give you some leads. Apologies that I cannot provide anything more definitive. Good luck with the research.
