A SEDGWICK BOY.

LETTER TO THE HIGH COMMIS- ' SICKER. London, April 13. An interesting letter from one of the Sedgwick boys in New Zealand was received this week by Sir Wm. Hall-Jones, High Commissioner for New Zealand. It is written by Harold M. Thomas, one of the Liverpool lads whom Mr. T. Sedgwick recently conducted to the Dominion to take up farming life there. Voung Thomas is now in the employ of Mr. David. Caldwell, of Wairuri, Tolago Uav, and his letter runs thus:— "Dear Sir William,— "I have great pleasure in informing you that my expectations of New Zealand are being fulfilled. I simply enjoy this life. It is much more jolly than being shut up in an office all day. "I am getting on quite nicely. I can now milk, ride, and do a little sheep work—very little of the latter, I am afraid; however, 1 will soon master it. "I am with very nice people, and they are very kind to me. I think all the other boys are enjoying themselves, can't help it, I can assure you." The writer of this letter is the lad who made such an effective littlo speech on the occasion of Sir William IlallJones' visit to Liverpool to inspect the Sedgwick contingent there. The High Commissioner remembers him well, and is very pleased to receive from the lnd such a satisfactory assurance that lie and his mates are enjoying their newlife in the Dominion.
