SIR W. HALL-JONES.
DONE WITH PUBLIC LIFE.
MUCH IMPROVED IN HEALTH.
t. —own CORRESPONDENT. ]
Wellington, Wednesday. No; I have no intention whatever of reentering public life in New Zealand. I have had a long time of it, and now I think I should let others have a turn," said Sir William Hall-Jones, in reply to a query to-day. He had been much grieved, he said, to hear on his arrival of the death of his old friend Sir Arthur Guinness, with Whom he had been associated as a member of the House of Representatives for so many years. Further than this he would have nothing to say. He would not even-speak of his experience in London as High Commissioner, of tho work of the office, or anything connected with it. " There '.is plenty of time for that,'' was all that he could be induced to say.
Sir William Hall-Jones looked a much more robust man than when he left New Zealand. His voice was resonant, his manner cheerful - and hearty, and his appearance betokened excellent health and spirits. He will remain in Wellington for a time, but for how long he has not decided. He has, in short, no definite plans.
