About Henry Jackson
Henry Jackson was a New Zealand politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives (M.H.R.) in the Wellington region. An officer of the Royal Indian Navy and naval surveyor, he was in New Zealand on leave of duty when control of the Indian Navy changed from the East India Company to the British government in India, following the 1857 Indian Mutiny. He worked as a surveyor and was dismissed as chief surveyor of Wellington District in 1879. He successfully stood in a parliamentary by-election but was in the House of Representatives for only one month before the house was prorogued, and lost his position in the subsequent general election.
