Russel was a boozy, boisterous, rugged town on the East Coast of the North Island in the new colony. It was full of raging hotels, and prostitutes, a pirate town; set up to entertain the sailors who arrived on ships from all over the world. HMS from England anchored here, along with Whalers and Traders. It was a place to let your hair down but it was also the center of Commerce and Government for the colony. Governors resided there who came from England, their job was to enforce the Treaty of Waitangi and administer the natives in New Zealand. Parceling out of the land was supervised from here. Generally, the authorities were watching over the well-being of New Zealand.
