He arrived in New -Zealand . seventy-two years ago, and played an important part, first as an officer in the Volunteers, and subsequently as Native Minister, in quelling the Native disturbances in."the North Island. He. had a distinguished career as ft politician, having been ' associated with several Ministries. He retired from polities in 1891 in a somewhat dramatic fashion. Ho was the leader of the Opposition when Mr Ballance took office, and he was made the subject of a vote of censure for using certain expressions reflecting on the Premier's conduct.
