The late Mr. Jollie. — The Lyttelton Times of Thursday last says :— We regret to learn that Mr. Francis Jollie, of Mount Peel, died yesterday. No particulars as to cause of death have yet come to hand. Mr. Jollie was one of the leading pioneers of settlement in New Zealand, haviDg first resided in Nelson province. He was at one time Nelson Agent for the New Zealand Company, and has always taken a prominent part in the public business of the colony — having been for many years a member of the General Assembly. Mr. Jollie always took a great interest in the active duties of a settler, and his farm at Wakapuaka, iv the Nelson province, was considered the model farm of its day. We believe he was also the first cultivator of the hop in New Zealand, and from the beginning he made, the Nelson hops have already obtained a name in the market.
