“FATHER OF THE HOUSE.” During the week the announcement was made of the retirement of Sir William Steward, the father of the House, who for many years has represented the district of Waitaki. Sir William, to use his own words, does not want to fight any more elections, as he is not so young as he was. He will take up his residence in Johnsonville, a suburb of Wellington. The probabilities are that he will be given a seat in the Legislative Council.
