John & Daniel A Darling. Martin arrived at the Hokianga from
Sydney in 1839 and later bought 2, 500 acres at Thames. He
spent the ensuing six years in NZ although as land claimant
in opposition to Hobson and Shortland. A well informed and
acute critic he was a formidable opponent, official steps being
taken to ensure that his editorship of the Auckland Herald in
1842 was short lived. A rare and most readable source book.
