Mr M'Lachlan, one of the first settlers of Otago, died on Monday. He arrived in Otago nearly 50 years ago from Sydney in a whaler. His wife was the first white woman who landed in Otago.

FROM AI
The settler you are referring to is almost certainly W. McLachlan, a cooper who arrived at the Waikouaiti whaling station (just north of Dunedin) around 1840.
istorical records from the region (notably compiled by early missionaries) show that during the very first years of the Waikouaiti station, there were only two white women in the entire area:
. The wife of Thomas Jones (brother of the famous station owner, Johnny Jones).
. The wife of W. McLachlan.
t this time, before the official founding of the Dunedin settlement in 1848, European men living in the Otago region were almost exclusively whalers or traders who predominantly cohabited with local Maori women. Mrs McLachlan?s arrival around 1840 placed her among the absolute earliest European women to live permanently in the Otago/Dunedin district. William McLACHLAN immigrated to Sydney to Waikouiti, Otago, about 1839. He was a cooper, Waikouiti whaling station from 1840 to 1858.³

Hitherto the little settlement had had nothing to cast a gloom over its prospects ; but death visited it. The first to pass away was Mrs Charles Fullar and her infant. Next, David Carey lost a daughter two years old, who was drowned at Matanic; and shortly afterwards Frederick Pryor's only child, a little girl, fell into the fire, and was so severely burned that she died the following day.

Mr M'Lauchlan was the father of the first boy bora of British parents in Otago, and Mr David Carey, now of Blueskin, of the first girl The dates of these events, though sought for by the writer, have not been ascertained.

They were married by Mr Watkins, the ring being lent for the occasion by Mrs W. Coleman.

THE FIRST MURDER IN OTAGO. The first murder was committed about this period. Tenteraki Pauwa, a wild young Maori, quarrelled with a man named James Brown, who kept a grog shop. One day this man was much annoyed by Teuteraki, but would have nothing to say to him. A carpenter who had deserted from one of the vessels lying in the harbor was stopping with Brown, but lacked his forbearance. Being present during one of the Maori's visits he snatched up a pistol, which, however, was proved to be unloaded, and, presenting it at Teuteraki, threatened to blow his brains out if he did not take himself off. The wild young scamp went away; but shortly afterwards returned, armed with a loaded musket. He took a deliberate aim at Brown through the window, and fired; but the carpenter apparently came between them, and, receiving the charge in his neck, fell dead. The Maori was immediately captured, and a consultation was held as to what was to be done with him. It was unanimously resolved that he should be shot. Then came the question Who was to shoot him ? Not an executioner could be found. The nearest seats of justice were the Bay of Islands .or Sydney; but it was not to be expected that a captain of any vessel in the harbor would go so far out of his way for the purpose of taking a criminal for trial. A free passage to America was offered to any one who would shoot the man, but no one came forward. During some days the criminal was kept in confinement in a small room, where he was frequently visited by the Europeans, who wrought upon his feelings by representing how he would be banged in Sydney, until he implored them to shoot him. Eventually he managed to get hold of a gun, or it was placed for him, and, sitting down on the floor with his wife behind him, with her arms around him, he liberated the trigger with his toe, and shot beth himself anfl her, the ball going through him and lodging in her heart. This first murder took place on February 15,1840.
