HBH 1890 APRIL 23 Local One A man named OLSEN dropped dead at DANEVIRKE yesterday, while working in a paddock with another man. Deceased, who is supposed not to have any relations in the colony, was subject to violent cough and chronic asthma, and death is supposed to be due to breaking of a blood vessel as the result of a fit of coughing. An inquest will be held. Resident Magistrate's Court held yesterday before Mr G A PREECE R.M. An old offender named John KELLY-fined 10s and costs for drunkenness William TRIM-fined 5s and costs for drunkenness Francis WITHERS and Mary SMITH on bail-similarly charged did not appear. At the R.M.Court today before Mr St C INGLIS. J.P Hori KINGI-being drunk on Saturday night-fined 5s and costs J WILKS for being drunk was fined 10s and costs, in default 48 hours imprisonment. A further charge of cruelty to animals was proved against him, for which he was fined £2 and costs, with the alternative of seven days imprisonment.

HBH 1890 APRIL 26th Monday Old Paora KAIWHATA is the hero of the latest good story- the aged aboriginal suffered from a bad cough and a sore leg, and accompanied by an interpreter, the other day, sought the aid of a well-known medico, who gave him a mixture for the cough and a lotion for the leg. On Thursday night PAORA by mistake swallowed a dose of the lotion, which burned his mouth and quite upset his internal economy. So, fearing he was poisoned, in haste PAORA went to see the medico without an interpreter. PAORA speaking no English, and the doctor had no knowledge of Maori, being confined to "kapai" and "tenakoe" the patient was reduced to pantomime to explain his dire strait, and with expressive gestures he pointed to his mouth. The medico seeing that there was inflammation, concluded that the tattooed warrior was suffering from toothache, so took him to a neighbouring dentist. Installed in the chair of torture, PAORA opened his mouth, and submitted to the manipulation of the dentist, apparently concluding that it was all part of the "ET IRE." But when, with a deft wrench, the tooth came out, PAORA suddenly awoke to the situation, and when the dentist calmly demanded five shillings, the indignation of the Maori knew no bounds. He went to an interpreter and explained his piteous case, and was very anxious to make the dentist pay utu for his lacerated gums and wounded feelings, declaring that the only useful tooth in his head had been extracted. He argued that, instead of paying the dentist, the dentist ought to pay him, and as he returned to the Pah was heard breathing vengeance in the choicest of Maori anathemas. Further developments are awaited with interest. At the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday Before Mr G A PREECE R.N. John LEWIS, just out of gaol was sentenced to seven days' hard labour.

Does anyone have any info on Hans P. STOKKE (wife Anne/Annie Kristine) who immigrated to Norsewood in 1872? I am trying to determine how he got to NZ - I suspect he might be Hans PEDERSEN, on 1872 Høvding passenger list, but not sure. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this list, and am a bit of an ignoramus re. New Zealand, I'm afraid. I am related to Michael Mansfield, who arrived in Hobart Town as a seaman on the Ocean when settlement in Van Diemen's Land began, in 1804. He became harbour pilot for Hobart and his sons became whaling captains. They were William John Mansfield, John Mansfield, and Thomas Mansfield. I've found a number of references to a "Thomas Mansfield", fisherman, on your site, thanks to the wonderful people who've transcribed old newspapers. This Thomas could be a grandson of Michael, as he appears to have been born around 1847. A Captain Mansfield is also mentioned at a whaling station with two Tasmanians working for him. Any further information on these people would be wonderful: I'd love to hear from descendants, especially! I've been unable to find the death of either 'my' Thomas or 'my' William John Mansfield in Australia, and wonder whether any of you may have access to early BDMs? William John was born in 1810, and Thomas in 1818 in Van Diemens Land. William John was also a widower when he married for the second time in 1855 in Hobart, and his first wife is recorded as travelling with him on his whalers. There is no record of that first marriage in the Australian records, nor any children, so I wonder if she was from New Zealand, whether they had children registered in New Zealand, and whether any of these Mansfields died in New Zealand. I hope someone can help, and I have lots of information on the family in Australia, if anyone is interested. Best wishes, Carol Brill, Melbourne.
