In November, 1903, he was elected chairman of the Waitaki County Council for the twenty-fifth consecutive year. In youth he was intended for the medical profession, but he was seized by the gold fever, and emigrated to Victoria, page 507 in 1862. He was for six years sheepfarming in Australia, and then came to Otago under engagement as manager of the Omarama station, which is 180,000 acres in extent, and has been managed by Mr. Sutherland since his arrival in New Zealand.
