"the statement was signed and sealed by Patuone and Taonui as chiefs and witnessed by Robert Williamson and W.H. Russell as Residents. Apart from the historical significance of the detail of this matter, pertinent as it is to the developing commercial relationship between New South Wales and New Zealand, the patronage of Patuone and Taonui as two principal chiefs of Hokianga is also a clear statement of their status. Further, it accords a clear ranking upon MacDonnell as one possessing all the advantages and status of a chief of the Hokianga. Patuone and Taonui were taking no chances whatever "

Taylor River Run No. 14 ? Charles Bigg Wither
This run was taken up by C. B. Wither of Waimea East about 1848, but was not numbered on the sketch map of 1849, so may not have been issued with a licence until later that year. By 1854 it was numbered 14 and was about 15,000 acres. During the next few years C. B. Wither purchased from various owners five or six of the surveyed sections (Budge's survey) between the run and Alabama Road, making his holding about 16,000 acres. He also free-holded as much as he could of the original run.

Charles Bigg Wither or Charles Bigg-Wither (27 April 1822 ? 28 June 1894) was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council for a short period in 1863.

Wither was born in 1822 at Manydown Park, a manor in Wootton St Lawrence, Hampshire, England.[1] His father was Harris Bigg-Wither (1781?1838), who was Lord of the Manor at Manydown from 1813 to 1833.[2] The engineer and writer Thomas Plantagenet Bigg-Wither, a son of his eldest brother Lovelace Bigg-Wither (1805?1874), was his nephew.[3] The Lords of the Manor at Manydown were initially from the Wither family. When William Wither V (1733?1789) died, he had no heir, and a cousin with the surname Bigg ? the Reverend Lovelace Bigg (1741?1813) ? became his successor. He and his sons took on the surname Bigg-Wither. In all New Zealand sources, Charles Bigg Wither is referred to simply as Wither (or C. B. Wither) and thus appears to have used Bigg as his middle name only.

Wither received his education at Winchester and at the University of Edinburgh. He came to New Zealand on the Ursula in 1843 and settled near Nelson.[4][5] He owned a sheep station at the Taylor River upstream from Blenheim from about 1848. He sold the land in 1867 to Ralph Richardson and to the father of Henry Redwood.[6] The Wither Hills south of Blenheim, which were part of his sheep run, are named for him.[5] Wither himself lived in Richmond where he had another farm.[4]

Wither was one of the original nine trustees of Nelson College; other notable foundation trustees were Charles Elliott, David Monro, John Barnicoat, William Wells, and Alfred Domett.[7]

Wither was a member of the Legislative Council from 15 October to 9 November 1863, when he resigned.[8] His membership appeared in a gazette notice (it stated that he had been summoned to the council),[9] but he declined the membership.[10]

Wither died at Wensley Hill in Richmond on 28 June 1894.[11] He is buried at Richmond Cemetery.[12] His sons Frederick and James were the executors of his will.[13]. He immigrated to on the Ursula from London to Auckland arriving 22 sep 1843 on 17 May 1843.⁴
