Summary
[edit]DescriptionSignature of William Hobson after stroke (detail) (16267052385).jpg |
After William Hobson suffered a crippling stroke which paralysed his right side, he seriously considered resigning from his task and returning to Sydney. On 11 March the HMS Herald did return to Sydney, but Hobson remained to recover his health. The ship’s surgeon, Alexander Lane, had recommended complete rest, so Hobson was moved to Waimate Mission Station. By this time Hobson was recovering. Lane noted that Hobson could “walk without any assistance, could use a stick in his right hand, and could sign his name.” But as this detail of the Waikato-Manukau Sheet shows, it was very shaky (some have argued this signature may have been done with his left hand). Indeed, Willoughby Shortland (now Colonial Secretary) signed the Manukau-Kāwhia Sheet with his own signature instead of Hobson’s.

This record is part of #Waitang175, celebrating 175 years since the signing of of te Tiriti o Waitangi.
