	WAIRAU AFFRAY - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		In all, 22 white men and, it is believed, four Maoris lost their lives and others were badly wounded in the Wairau “massacre” of 17 June 1843.
		News of the “massacre”, as it was called, gave a shock to the colonists, especially those settled at Nelson and Wellington.
		Despite the clamour for revenge, the Government refused to take action, though it might well have claimed the Wairau as compensation for the dead, in accordance with the Maori custom of utu.

		This led to a major dispute and confrontation between Te Rauparaha, his nephew Rangihaeata, and Colonel Wakefield and his party at Wairau, resulting in the colonel and 20 men being killed.
		The two Maori chiefs returned to Otaki and, although feelings ran high among Maori and pakeha, Government Fitzroy and a group of senior officials met them at Waikanae, heard their account of what had happened, which became known as the Wairau massacre, and decided not to take any punitive action.

		Edward Stafford found another route into the Wairau, and the glowing accounts of the district that reached Nelson determined Captain Wakefield to take up land there on behalf of the settlers...

		In 1846 he married a daughter of Colonel Wakefield, and was thus brought into close connection with the New Zealand Company.
