This day in NZ history, in 1877 Chief Justice Sir James Prendergast declared The Treaty of Waitangi 'worthless' and a 'simple nullity'.

The Chief Justice's statements when delivering judgment in the case of Wi Parata v The Bishop of Wellington would influence decision-making on Treaty of Waitangi issues for decades.

This day in world history in 1913 Zeppelin LII exploded over London, killing 28. In 1933 on this day, due to rising anti-Semitism and anti-intellectualism in Hitler's Germany, Albert Einstein, the Nobel-prize-winning physicist, fled Nazi Germany and moved to the United States.
