    Sir Charles Christopher Bowen (29 August 1830 – 12 December 1917) was a New Zealand

    politician.== Life ==

    Bowen was born in County Mayo, Ireland and studied law for two years at Cambridge

    University.At the age of 20 he emigrated with his parents on one of the First Four Ships, the

    Charlotte Jane, to the Canterbury settlement.His law training led to a position as private

    secretary to John Robert Godley, founder of the Canterbury colony.He was in charge of the

    police force, and, together with Crosbie Ward, became a part-owner of the Lyttelton Times

    newspaper.In 1859, Bowen traversed the Andes on with Clements Markham, and 16 July

    1861, he married his sister Georgina Elizabeth Markham.The same year he dedicated a

    volume of poetry, Poems, to "my fellow colonists, the first settlers of Canterbury, New

    Zealand.".The high quality of the edition is proof that "good craftsmen migrated along with

    the gentlemen-colonists".Following their return to Christchurch, Bowen was appointed

    resident magistrate in 1864, succeeding Joseph Brittan, who had resigned on health

    grounds.Bowen held the position until 1874.== Political career ==

    Bowen was directly appointed to cabinet (by way of the Legislative Council) on 16

    December 1874, but wary of criticism that a public servant had been awarded political

    office, he resigned from the Legislative Council and stood for election to the House of

    Representatives in the 22 January 1875 Kaiapoi by-election, following the resignation of


    John Studholme on 8 December 1874.He was confirmed by the Kaiapoi electorate at general

    elections in 1875 and 1879 and served until the end of the 7th Parliament in 1881, when he

    retired.From 1874 to 1877, he was Minister of Justice in five successive ministries (first

    Vogel Ministry, Pollen Ministry, second Vogel Ministry, first and second Atkinson

    Ministry).Bowen was responsible for the Education Act 1877, which provided for

    compulsory free, secular primary education.He was again appointed to the Legislative

    Council on 20 January 1891 and served until his death on 12 December 1917.He was

    appointed as one of seven new members (including Harry Atkinson himself) appointed to

    the council by the outgoing fourth Atkinson Ministry; a move regarded by Liberals as a

    stacking of the upper house against the new government.He was appointed Speaker of the

    Legislative Council from 1905 to 1915.Bowen was made a Knight Bachelor in 1910 and a

    Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1914.He had seven

    children.He died on 12 December 1917 at his homestead and is buried at the cemetery of St

    Peter's Church in Upper Riccarton.== Notes ==
