REDMAYNE, ROBERT (1822-84), came to New Zealand from San Francisco in 1863, and settled in Dunedin. In 1865, with his brother Thomas, who had preceded him by some years, and who was a member of the town board, he published the Dunedin Punch, in which they displayed some ability as humorists. Thomas, who was responsible for the illustrations, made many caricatures of members of the Otago Provincial Council. Only 41 numbers were issued. Thomas left New Zealand for California in 1874, and Robert died in Sep 1884.
