The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Mr James Martin Phillipps

Mr James Martin Phillipps. Member of the Waitemata County Council, is the son of Mr John Phillipps, of the firm of Messrs W. Phillipps and Son, oil and colour merchants, Auckland, and was born in Auckland in 1862. He was educated first at a public school, and afterwards at the Grammar School, and then devoted himself to the breeding of sheep, cattle and horses at his extensive property at Woodhill, Helensville. Mr Phillipps has long been well known as a most successful breeder of draught horses, and horses of his breeding are celebrated throughout New Zealand. Latterly, however, he has gone in more for cattle and sheep. Mr Phillipps has been chairman of the Woodhill school committee for over twelve years; in fact, from its earliest existence. He is also chairman of the Helensville Agricultural Society, and is judge at all the horse shows held in the provincial district of Auckland. Mr Phillipps was elected to his present seat in the Waitemata County Council in 1899.
