Mr. George Moore

Mr. George Moore, Second Clerk Assistant to the Legislative Council, was born in 1841. His father, the late Mr. John Moore, came out with his family to New Zealand in 1853, per ship “Constantine,” and settled at Waikaraka, on the East Coast, as a sheepfarmer. Mr. Moore joined the Legislative Department in 1874, when he was first employed as an extra clerk to the House of Representatives. After an experience of a year he was selected by Major Campbell, clerk of the Parliaments, to take the duties of reader, and in 1876 he became clerk of Bills and Papers, and Record Clerk. He was appointed second clerk assistant to the Legislative Council by the late Sir John L.C. Richardson in 1878.
