Name	Biography	Reference
Walter Lawry Buller	BULLER, WALTER LAWRY (1838-1906) was born at Newark, Bay of Islands, the son of the Rev. James Buller (q.v.). He received his early education at Wesley College, Auckland, and entered the service of the Union Bank at Auckland. There he won rapid promotion, but on medical advice took a year's rest at Wellington. Here he devoted himself to literary and scientific studies, enjoying the friendship of William Swainson, F.R.S. In 1861 he gained first prize for an essay on The Moral Welfare of New Zealand offered by the Auckland Association. In 1865 he was awarded the silver medal of the New Zealand exhibition for an essay on the ornithology of New Zealand, which was published (1865). Having acquired a competent knowledge of Maori, Buller was appointed government interpreter at Wellington (1855). He started and edited a weekly Maori newspaper, Te Karere o Poneke, which became self-supporting and was afterwards subsidised by the government. In 1859 he was appointed native commissioner for the Southern Provinces, where he carried through the partition and individualisation of the Kaiapoi reserve. In 1861 he acted as secretary of the Kohimarama conference of native chiefs, and prepared the proceedings for publication. In the same year he was appointed editor of the official Maori Messenger (a bimonthly journal in English and Maori), and he was likewise the promoter and first editor of Te Manuhiri Tuarangi, or Maori Intelligencer. In Feb 1862 he was gazetted a justice of the peace, and in Apr resident magistrate at Manawatu. In 1865 he was appointed a judge of the native land court, in which capacity he frequently earned the thanks of the government. He saw a good deal of active service and showed great personal courage on the West Coast, especially at Weraroa and in the Ruahine ranges. He published many papers on biological subjects, mainly ornithology. He was elected a fellow of the Linnean, Geological and Royal Geographical societies, and a corresponding member of the Zoological Society of London. In 1866 he was appointed resident magistrate and sheriff at Wanganui. These appointments he held till 1871, when he went to England as secretary to the agent-general. While there he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple, and published his first important work, A History of the Birds of New Zealand (1873). In recognition of its merit the university of Tubingen conferred on him the honorary degree of doctor of science. Buller presented to the Colonial museum the collection of birds on which the letter-press was founded. In 1875 he was created a C.M.G., and in 1876 was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. Returning to New Zealand in 1874 he was admitted to the bar and for the next 30 years he devoted himself to practice. Devoting himself especially to native work, he appeared for the Ngati-Apa in the Rangatira block case (1882) and the Horowhenua case (1895). In 1881 he contested the Foxton seat in Parliament. He continued to make contributions to zoological literature. In 1882 he prepared for official publication a Manual of the Birds of New Zealand, illustrated by photo-lithographic prints from his larger work. In 1883 he received from the New Zealand exhibition the gold medal 'for science and literature.' In 1885 he went to London to represent the colony at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition. In 1886 his services were recognised by the K.C.M.G. In 1894 he was made a knight commander of the crown of Italy. At this period he was governor of the New Zealand Institute and president of the Wellington Philosophical society. In 1888 he published an enlarged edition of The Birds of New Zealand, and in 1905 he published in London his supplement, in two volumes. Buller married (1862) Charlotte (who died in Nov 1891), daughter of Gilbert Mair (q.v.). He died on 18 July 1906. App. H.R.; Cox, Men of Mark; Buller; Ward; Trans. N.Z.

Walter Lawry	LAWRY, WALTER (1793-1859). Born at Ruthern Bridge, near Bodmin, Cornwall, on 3 Aug 1793, Lawry was the son of a devout yeoman farmer. Received into the Methodist ministry at the conference of 1817, he was appointed as the second Wesleyan missionary in Australia to be colleague to Samuel Leigh (q.v.). He sailed in the convict ship Lady Castlereagh, and arrived at Port Jackson on 1 May 1818. He laboured at Parramatta with Leigh until 1820, when the mission was divided into three circuits, and he was appointed to Parramatta. In 1819 he married Miss Hassall, daughter of a pioneer missionary to Tahiti, and sister of Marsden's son-in-law, the Rev Thomas Hassall. Owing to a difference amongst the subscribers as to opening the chapel to all Nonconformists, Lawry built it mainly at his own expense on a site given by Governor Macquarie. Meeting at Parramatta the widow of Shelley, one of the survivors of the pioneer mission to Tonga (1797), Lawry became interested in this far field. As a result he succeeded in moving the British conference in 1820 to appoint him, with another to labour in Tonga. Without waiting for his colleague to be appointed, he sailed in the hired ship St Michael, with his wife and two artisans and a few cattle presented by Governor Brisbane. He reached the Bay of Islands on 12 Jul 1822 and remained till the 28th. On 16 Aug he landed at Nukualofa. Land for the mission was given by a son of the first Tugi, who, however, declined to protect the mission. After undergoing many annoyances, and the climate from which the health of his wife suffered, Lawry was obliged to leave the group. He reached Sydney on 23 Oct 1823. The mission was reopened in 1826 by two Tahitian converts, and Lawry's successors arrived shortly afterwards. In 1824 Lawry proceeded to England, where he spent the years 1825-44 in circuit work. In 1843 he was appointed general superintendent of the Wesleyan missions in New Zealand and visitor to those of Polynesia, a position he held for 11 years. He reached New Zealand on 17 Mar 1844, at a critical time in the relations with the Maori. The great tribal meeting was held at Remuera shortly afterwards, and a few months later war broke out in the north, causing the temporary closing of many mission stations. Meanwhile Lawry was closely engaged in the organisation of the church in Auckland for both races. Sectional meetings were held all over the district. Lawry, always mindful of the Maori, proposed to Sir George Grey the establishment of an institution for the training of native boys and girls, teachers and ministers, the outcome of which was the model school at Three Kings and Wesley College in Auckland. There a large number of youths were trained in the rudiments of English education and Christian knowledge and in industrial pursuits. During these years Lawry paid two visits to Tonga and Fiji (1847 and 1850) in the new mission ship John Wesley (which had replaced the Triton in 1846). In her also he went to England in 1849, with the Rev William Williams and Tamihana te Rauparaha as fellow passengers. After his return to New Zealand he assisted in the formation of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist conference. In 1854 he was superannuated and moved to New South Wales. Lawry died at Parramatta on 30 Mar 1859, leaving a mark on the history of his church. He was a man of robust constitution and manner, a powerful preacher and able administrator. His widow died at Auckland 9 Dec 1877, aged 89. Amongst his publications were narratives of his two visits to the Friendly Islands and Fiji. Morley; Marsden, Lieutenants; Ramsden; M. A. R.

Lawry, always mindful of the Maori, proposed to Sir George Grey the establishment of an institution for the training of native boys and girls, teachers and ministers, the outcome of which was the model school at Three Kings and Wesley College in Auckland. There a large number of youths were trained in the rudiments of English education and Christian knowledge and in industrial pursuits.

During these years Lawry paid two visits to Tonga and Fiji (1847 and 1850) in the new mission ship John Wesley (which had replaced the Triton in 1846). In her also he went to England in 1849, with the Rev William Williams and Tamihana te Rauparaha as fellow passengers.

After his return to New Zealand he assisted in the formation of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist conference. In 1854 he was superannuated and moved to New South Wales. Lawry died at Parramatta on 30 Mar 1859, leaving a mark on the history of his church. He was a man of robust constitution and manner, a powerful preacher and able administrator. His widow died at Auckland 9 Dec 1877, aged 89. Amongst his publications were narratives of his two visits to the Friendly Islands and Fiji.
