Bruce Moon: “AT LAST BYGONES WERE BYGONES”.
So said a headline on page 33 of the New Zealand Herald Centennial Record for 13 November 1963. Hmmm! I wonder what that was about?
I looked further to read under this bold headline dated January 20, 1882: “Tawhiao, the Maori King, was given an enthusiastic welcome when he arrived in Auckland yesterday as the guest of the Mayor and citizens. ... the great demonstration of public goodwill was a pledge that the people desire bygones to be bygones, and that they wish well to the whole Maori people. It was the formal conclusion of all hostilities between the races, the healing of old wounds, the closing of a bloody chapter in the history of New Zealand.” ...
“At the banquet given in his honour ... Tawhiao said: ‘Great have been the evils in our country, but I say. Let them be forgotten, let them be trampled underfoot.’ ...
