The Hon. James O'Neill was prominently identified with the early history of Auckland. He was born in Manor Hamilton, County Leitrim, Ireland, in 1819, and came to New Zealand when a youth. He was a member of the Auckland Provincial Council, and also a member of the first Parliament of New Zealand. Mr. O'Neill was called to the Upper House in 1869, and resigned in 1872. He was a Justice of the Peace, and assisted in the foundation of some of the leading institutions of Auckland. Mr. O'Neill is referred to in another article as having been a member of the House of Representatives.
