documentary heritage
  • Description

    "...Williamson transferred it to a group of citizens, including W.H. J. Seffern and Dr Robert Kidd (afterwards joined by Charles Featherston Mitchell).... The business was removed to new premises in Shortland St and the New Zealander became (on 3 April 1865) the first penny moring paper in the Colony. The company started the Weekly Argus (which lived just the year)."--News Papers in New Zealand; Scholefield, page 81.
