"A detachment of the 65th Regiment was sent from Auckland in response to settlers' concerns about trouble between two local Maori chiefs. Arriving in Napier in February 1858, the troops came ashore at Onepoto Gully. A special issue of the Hawkes Bay Herald, dated 9 February 1858, states: "We have much pleasure in recording the arrival of the first detachment of a force of 300 military, to be stationed in Napier. We regard it as a great step in advance at once ensuring the peace and advancing the prosperity of the District. While on the one hand turbulent natives will now see that the British law must be respected, we trust that, on the other, no turbulent European will, under the supposition that he can do so with impunity, take occasion to offer insult to any of the other race ; and thereby justify the fears that were entertained by some writers and speakers, when the necessity for military being stationed here was first mooted. We trust to hear, by return of the steamer that the Provincial Government have taken prompt measures to provide barracks in Napier for the accommodation of this detachment".
