In his classic book Māori Land Tenure
(1977) Sir Hugh Kawharu wrote that the system
of Māori land tenure created by the Native Lands
Act of 1865 was an ‘engine of destruction for
any tribe’s tenure of land, anywhere’ (p 15).
He was appointed as a Native Land Court Judge on 3 February 1919. He entered practice in 1905, only 8 years after Victoria University was established, so it seems a fair bet that he was our first judge to attend VUW.
