Timaru arrived
October 13, Victory, Barque 579 tons, Gregory, from Southampton to Timaru with 231 passengers on board, 101 of which were landed at Timaru. She had a favourable passage of 115 days. The doctor reports only one death (an infant) and four births.The barque Victory, Captain Gregory commander, after a passage of 119 days from London, brought up off the Quarantine Ground on Saturday afternoon. On her previous visit to this port (Lyttelton) in 1860 she was in command of Captain Stevens, but since that time has changed owners, and on this voyage brings out a batch of Lancashire immigrants for Canterbury; a large number of them were landed at Timaru on Wednesday last and the remainder brought on here and landed in Camp Bay on Monday morning. Since her last visit her arrangements for accommodation of passengers has been completely altered. She has now a deckhouse amidships, with a patent distillery and cooking apparatus attached. Only one death occurred during the passage and four births. Her cargo is not very extensive and the bulk of it is consigned to the agents, Messrs. Dalgety, Buckley and Co. It is a singular coincidence that her passage in 1860 was made in 112 days, and she arrived on Saturday evening and the passengers were landed on Monday. She presents another specimen of the advantages of sending our ships out under her Majesty's emigration commissioners. Her arrangements are perfect, and the between decks a pattern of cleanliness. Dr. Holman is the surgeon in charge.
On Sunday evening the ship British Crown got well away to sea, and a three-masted steamer was seen in the afternoon to cross the heads, supposed to be the Corio, bound South both had closed the south-head in by sundown.
The barque Victory came up the harbour yesterday afternoon at 5, and anchored well up.The Lyttelton Times
Tuesday October 20, 1863
In all new colonies to which the tide of emigration from the old county does not naturally set, it is necessary to incur a considerable expenditure for the purpose of introducing labour. Without a constant stream of immigration, the the resource of the county could not be developed and capital would either be wasted or withdrawn from a field where it could not be profitably employed. In most colonies this necessity is not fully recognised yet in many colonies.
When a Government so far interferes with the natural influx of population as to give assisted passages to immigrants, it is an implied part of the duty it undertakes to see that the newly arrived labourer is received as a valuable addition to the community, and that his services are made available as soon as possible. In, short, the responsibility of the Government does not end, when its agent in England has collected and shipped the immigrants-then remain the important tasks of receiving them and distributing them over the county in the manner most likely to incorporate them with the population already established. All this is not to be done without proper organization, and without a cost which must be considerable part of the whole expense of immigration.
In the United States of America, which absorb by far the largest proportion of emigrants from the old world, it is found that notwithstanding the best field open for labour in the interior, and the scarcity of working hands where they are not wanted, the seaboard towns are often swamped by a pauper population. The States Government do not interfere with Immigration, no bonus in the shape of assisted passages is needed to bring labour to their shores, and they do not of course conceive themselves to be directly responsible for the distribution of a population which comes uninvited to New York or Boston, or Philadelphia. But the difficulty is very apparent in America of bringing together the half-starving population, flowing into sea-board towns, and the employers of labour whose properties are lying unoccupied and untilled for want of hands.
On a smaller scale the same difficulty is met in Victoria, where the Government has interfered to invite immigrants....Timaru, South Canterbury, New Zealand - Electoral roll 1865

On Monday morning, Mr H.J. Robinson, coroner, held an inquest at the Sun Inn, touching the death of Isaac Catlow. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased was 45 years of age, and was a weaver living at the Golden Cup, Hammerton Street, Habergham-Eaves. He went into the Sun Inn on Saturday night about a quarter to seven o'çlock apparently in his usual health. He was supplied with a pint of beer. In a few minutes he left the house returning with half a pound of beef which he put on the fire to cook. A man named Wm. Walsh took it off, cut it up in small pieces, put it on a piece of oatcake, and gave it to deceased. Deceased ate a portion of it, and was noticed by Walsh to be foaming in the mouth. Walsh immediately went to his assistance, put his finger down deceased's throat, and could feel a piece of meat lodging. He could neither get it up or down. Dr Smirthwaite was immediately sent for, but on his arrival life was extinct. A verdict in accordance with the testimony was returned.

On 1 July 1916, supported by a French attack to the south, thirteen divisions of Commonwealth forces launched an offensive on a line from north of Gommecourt to Maricourt. Despite a preliminary bombardment lasting seven days, the German defences were barely touched and the attack met unexpectedly fierce resistance. Losses were catastrophic and with only minimal advances on the southern flank, the initial attack was a failure. In the following weeks, huge resources of manpower and equipment were deployed in an attempt to exploit the modest successes of the first day. However, the German Army resisted tenaciously and repeated attacks and counter attacks meant a major battle for every village, copse and farmhouse gained. At the end of September, Thiepval was finally captured. The village had been an original objective of 1 July. Attacks north and east continued throughout October and into November in increasingly difficult weather conditions. The Battle of the Somme finally ended on 18 November with the onset of winter. In the spring of 1917, the German forces fell back to their newly prepared defences, the Hindenburg Line, and there were no further significant engagements in the Somme sector until the Germans mounted their major offensive in March 1918. The Thiepval Memorial, the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme, bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector before 20 March 1918 and have no known grave. Over 90% of those commemorated died between July and November 1916. The memorial also serves as an Anglo-French Battle Memorial in recognition of the joint nature of the 1916 offensive and a small cemetery containing equal numbers of Commonwealth and French graves lies at the foot of the memorial. The memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, was built between 1928 and 1932 and unveiled by the Prince of Wales, in the presence of the President of France, on 31 July 1932. The dead of other Commonwealth countries who died on the Somme and have no known graves are commemorated on national memorials elsewher
