Hammond, W.

Hammond, W., Sheepfarmer, Pouwhakarua, Ohingaiti. The son of a very old identity, who landed in Wellington in 1841, by the “George Fife,” M. Hammond was born in Kaiwarra, and was educated at the Wellington Grammar School. Brought up to farming pursuits, he is interested with his brother, Mr. H. V. Hammond, in York Farm, near Marton. The Ohingaiti property consists of 1200 acres, which is all felled and grassed, and carries three sheep to the acre, besides 150 head of cattle. Mr. Hammond takes an interest in out-door sport, and is particularly fond of racing.
