Mr Michael O'Halloran, who was interred in the Northern Cemetery (Dunedin) on Thursday, was for many years one of the best-known and most popular policemen in Dunedin (states the Otago DaHy Times). He joined the Armed Constabulary in the troubled times of 1881, at Taranaki, and was present in the same year at the Parihaka Pa, and at ,the capture of Te Whiti, Tohufi Titokowaru, and other Maoris who figure in the pages of New Zealand history. In 1889 .he was transferred to the police force, at the opening of the Dunedin Exhibition. For a number of years he was one of the best-known constables, in Dunedin. He left the force, and became successively owner of the Scotta and Pier Hotels, and also of the Green Island Hotel, which was his property at the time of his death. Latterly he had lived a retired life at Mussellburgh. He married fairly late in life, and leaves a widow, but no family.
