paperback. Secondhand. On St Patrick's Day, 1922, Bishop James Liston made a speech at the Auckland Town Hall. He intended to reassure his flock about recent events in Ireland, which appeared to threaten the Anglo-Irish peace established a few months earlier. The half-hour speech was greeted with fervent applause by his largely Irish-Catholic audience. A quite different reaction awaited the "The New Zealand Herald's" report of the event which had Liston sneering at the British Empire, praising the dead Irish rebels, and describing the Crown forces as "foreign murderers". Calls were made for the Bishop's immediate deportation, and he was soon charged with making a seditious utterance. Liston became the first Catholic Bishop in the British Empire to be tried for his political opinions, and faced a two-year jail term if found guilty. This work tells the story of this episode in New Zealand's history, one which highlights the ethnic and religious tensions that were a feature of colonial life. It presents a picture of the Catholic community wrestling with its troubled Irish heritage, and with issues of assimilation and identity in the hysterically pro-British atmosphere of 1920s New Zealand. 1997, First edition.

This book reveals how five New Zealanders , acting as the core of a small squad of colonial troops, provided a vital shiel d to protect Trinity from capture. Had the College fallen to the surprise attack launched on it by the rebels at midnight on Easter Monday, its 324th year may w ell have been its last. Letters written home by the New Zealanders give fresh in sight into important aspects of the insurrection and allow us to test some contr oversial claims against both Trinity?s own record and the various rebel accoun ts. More importantly, they help to answer questions left unasked in previous stu dies.…
