New Zealand Gazette and Wellington Spectator 10 July 1841
WE, the undersigned Emigrants by the Katherinc Stewart Forbes, are desirous to convey our warmest gratitude to Captain Hobbs for the anxious solicitude evinced by him for our safety, during a tedious and perilous voyage from England to New Zealand. We are the more desirous of testifying our sense of his kindness, because he had in many instances interposed when others in a minor charge attempted to destroy our peace and quiet. We would also add that the discipline and seamanship displayed by Captain Hobbs has entirely secured our respect and admiration.
We also tender our thanks to the chief and second mates, for their united civility and kindness during the voyage.

Death Details
1860/277, Charles Peck, Aged: NR

Wellington Independent 10 July 1860
An inquest was held on Friday the 29th inst., before S. M. Curl, Esq., Corner for the district, at the house of Mr. John Cameron, on the body of Charles Peck, who was found on Thursday morning last, on the bank of the Makiri stream. It was supposed that the deceased, in attempting to cross, on the stream on the night of the previous Tuesday, was, owing to the heavy freshet, washed away. A verdict of "accidentally drowned" was returned. The jury also recommended that the streams in the Turakina and Rangitikei districts should be bridged, several cases having come before their notice of persons having nearly lost their lives during the heavy freshets.
