OBITUARY
SIR THEOPHILUS COOPER,
EX-JUDGE.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
ELTHAM, 18th May.
The Hon. Sir Theophilus Cooper, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court, passed away this afternoon, aged 75 years, at the residence of his son, Dr. H. A. Cooper, Eltham.…
“From the printing office to the Supreme Court Bench” is a phrase that to some extent at least explains the ambition that impelled the late Mr. Theophilus Cooper to overcome all difficulties in choosing his career.… He was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court and president of the Arbitration Court in February, 1901, and shortly afterwards held his first session in that city. He continued as president of the Arbitration Court until September, 1903, when Mr. Justice Chapman relieved him. Thereafter his Honour, in conjunction with the Chief Justice, conducted the business of the Supreme Court in the Wellington judicial district. He retired from the Bench in 1921, in which year he received the honour of knighthood, and since then he lived in retirement at Eltham.

#Taranaki Maunga becomes a legal person.
“The Crown” give up the claim to own the mountain, & now share stewardship of the park with the region’s iwi, officially recognising the peaks as tupuna.
Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke of the mamae – the deep pain – felt around the muru raupatu - confiscation - quoting #Parihaka leader Dr Ruakere Hond in Parliament:
“I tenei ra kua puta a Taranakii te herehere”
"Today Taranaki is freed from the shackles”
"The agreement aims to compensate Māori from the Taranaki region for injustices done to them during colonisation - including widespread land confiscation."

#Taranaki becomes the third natural feature in New Zealand to be granted legal personhood, following Te Urewera in 2014 and the Whanganui River in 2017. That designation means the geographic features gain the legal status of a person, ensuring they are treated with respect and protection.
“Today we affirm what we have always known – our [mountain] is, and never was, a crown asset – it is our [ancestor], the living, breathing embodiment of our identity … as Taranaki.”
#Taranaki becomes the third #naturalfeature in #Aotearoa aka New Zealand to be granted legal #personhood following #TeUrewera in 2014 and the #Whanganui River in 2017. That designation means the geographic features gain the legal status of a person, ensuring they are treated with respect and protection.
“When we think about the concept of personhood, what we are doing is putting in place a very #Māori! #Indigenous concept into western law,” Jamie Tuuta
@FlipboardUK And with a cracker of a photo of NZ's Mount Taranaki to kick off that story.
"In New Zealand, the peaks of Egmont National Park – renamed Te Papakura o Taranaki – were recognised as ancestral mountains and jointly became a legal person, known as Te Kāhui Tupua."

Geologists will make an extensive survey preparatory to locating the site of the third bore. Mr. W. Osborne, geologist, of Sydney University, has joined the staff, and another is to be appointed. Two complete drilling plants are already on the ground.
