The Maoriland Worker, later called The Standard, was a leading New Zealand labour journal of the early 20th century.
It was launched in 1910 by the Shearers' Union and was initially published monthly (Frank Langstone was involved). It was soon taken over by the New Zealand Federation of Labour and became the official organ of the federation.
The journal ceased publication in 1960. At the time it was called The Standard and was published weekly

The next morning he was found dead at his home in Lower Queen-street, Auckland, with his throat cut, almost severing his head from his body. It was said he had committed suicide, but this could be the oldest, cold-case in New Zealand history

. Petone foreshore was by now a very busy place with tents, shanties & whares housing the immigrants

* Bengal Merchant, 21 Feb 1840 - 161 passengers

* Martha Ridgway, 14 Nov 1840 - 225 passengers
. Smallpox broke out, several of the passengers were down when Port Nicholson was reached, so a quarantine ground was established on the eastern shores of Lambton Harbour. The ship was taken across and everybody was placed in strict quarantine for three weeks. This splendid Liverpool-built ship had been constructed expressly for the passenger trade. She had a very spacious poop with a height of 6ft 9in in the 'twixt decks and was replete with every arrangement for the comfort and health of the passengers.

The Jane had a very disagreeable passage owing to a want of unanimity among the passengers, while the discreditable state of the ship led her to being likened to a pig-sty. A law case in the Wellington Courthouse threw a great deal of light on the incidents of the voyage. Mr William Swainson, FLS, FRS (1789-1855), English ornithologist, malacologist, conchologist, entomologist, artist & eminent English naturalist, came out on this voyage and settled at Lower Hutt.

From the Evening Post, 9 September 1922
SOME EARLY HISTORY - ORIGIN OF RAROA ROAD

PETITION TO PROVINCIAL COUNCIL
- A VALUABLE DOCUMENT -
Much discussion is now taking place on the question as to whether Raroa road is the best route to adopt for constructing a shorter route to adopt for constructing a shorter tram line to Karori and Northland and in this connection a most interesting document relating to the early history of the road has just come to light.
This is a petition; signed by 180 prominent citizens of Wellington in the year 1856, asking the Provincial Council to make a road connecting the Te Aro district with Baker's Hill, via Polhill Gully. Baker's Hill is the ridge under which the Karori tunnel passes, but the road which formed the subject of the petition was not formed until some thirty-four years had elapsed after the Provincial Council was first approached by the settlers. The original document, which by reason of the signatures it contains forms a valuable link with the early days of Wellington, has been handed over to the City Council for permanent keeping by Mr W. F. England of Karori and it was produced at this week's meeting of the Early Settlers' Association by Councillor Len McKenzie, whose father, the late Mr T. W. McKenzie, was one of the signatories
