http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc01Cycl-t1-body-d3-d15-d6.html#name-413800-mention The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District] Mr. Francis John Morton Dugdale Walmsley, Chief Clerk Land and Income Tax Department, is the eldest son of the late Benjamin Walmsley, formerly a captain in H.M. 56th Regiment, and for many years Chief Postmaster and Sheriff of Nelson. The family—an old Lancashire one—arrived in Nelson from the Mother Country by the ship “Larkins” at the end of 1849. The subject of this sketch was born in Drogheda, Ireland, in 1843, and has had a long official experience in bank and Government employ, having entered the postal service at Nelson in 1859, and being transferred to the Post-office, Dunedin, in 1861, at the commencemeWalmsleynt of the rush to the Otago goldfields. He left the Postal Service the same year, and joined the Bank of New Zealand, which had just opened their branch in Dunedin. For nearly two years he was in the Bank's service on the early goldfields, and in 1862 was transferred to Mr. Francis John Morton Dugdale Walmsley the Nelson branch, where, in 1864, he was appointed accountant. On the discovery of the West Coast goldfields he was, at the end of 1864, sent to report as to its prospects as an alluvial field. The outlook being excellent, Mr. Walmsley was instructed to open a branch at Hokitika. The materials for a building were shipped from Nelson, and in December, 1864, the first bank was opened under his charge. In February, 1865, Mr. Walmsley was robbed at the Waimea diggings of upwards of £1000 in gold dust and notes, the property of the Bank, the treasure having been taken from a store, where it had been left for safety. For this loss he was suspended, but after an enquiry had been held into the circumstances, he was reinstated. He resigned from the Bank of New Zealand employ in May, 1865, and entered the service of the Bank of New South Wales in June of the same year, receiving the appointment of travelling officer for the West Coast. In September, 1865, he was “stuck up” between Notown and the Twelve-Mile by five armed men and robbed of over £4000 in gold dust and notes. The Bank offered a reward of £600 and the Crown a free pardon to an accomplice, but nothing was ever heard of the bushrangers. Mr. Walmsley opened most of the agencies for the Bank on the West Coast, and was in November, 1872, transferred to their Auckland branch as accountant. In March, 1874, he resigned from the Bank of New South Wales, and entered the service of the National Bank of New Zealand as manager at the Thames branch, which he opened. He left the National Bank service in 1875, and for several years was farming near the now celebrated Waihi goldmine at Ohinemuri. In 1879 Mr. Walmsley entered the Government service in the Land Tax Office at Napier, and next year was transferred to the Christchurch office as chief clerk. Upon the closing of the district offices and the centralisation of the work at Wellington, he was transferred to the head office, where, in 1894, he became chief clerk. For the last ten years Mr. Walmsley has been a staunch believer in Henry George's principles of land taxation, and is confident that in the comparatively near future these principles will, in English-speaking countries, be the great political question of the day. |
