London, New Zealand Company. 1844, First Edition. Soft cover. Book, 38 pages. Lacks the original brown paper wrappers. Has the name H. Hanson Turton at the top of the title page. Henry Hanson Turton, 1818-1887, was a Wesleyan minister who arrived in New Zealand in May 1840. He lived and taught in the Hokianga area and in Taranaki. His knowledge of, and fluency in the Maori language enabled him to act for the government in several official capacities, firstly as an interpreter, and, from 1864, as Commissioner to investigate land titles under the NZ Settlements Act of 1863. This report includes content on the Wairau massacre (17 June 1843). "This gentleman [.] describes the attempt to execute a lawful warrant at Wairoa, with the fight and dreadful butchery of the whites that ensued, as 'the unconstitutional and murderous proceeding of the Police Magistrate and his colleagues, in attacking an inoffensive people, kiling three, and obliging the remainder in self-defence to turn their assailants.'" [..] "One immediate result of a new sense of superiority to the whites, which the natives appear to have entertainedafter the Wairoa massacre, was numerous acts of intimidation and violence towards settlers with a view of forcing them to remove from their farms.". Good.
