Arnold in c. 1905

Private life Edit

Born in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, on 6 June 1859, Arnold was the son of Julius Arnold.[1][2] The family emigrated to New Zealand in 1864.[1] James Arnold went on to become a bootmaker and trade union leader.[3] He was known as "the bootmakers lawyer" at the Industrial Conciliation & Arbitration (ICA) Court.[4]

Member of Parliament Edit

Arnold represented City of Dunedin (1899–1905), Dunedin South (1905–1908) and Dunedin Central (1908–1911) in the New Zealand House of Representatives.[5]

At the 1905 election, Arnold stressed his Independent credentials and said that the "present administration [i.e. Premier Richard Seddon's Liberal Government] were not all they should be", favoured the elective executive bill, and held himself at liberty to compel the Ministry to reconstruct.[6]

Death Edit

Arnold died at his home in Timaru on 10 July 1929,[7] and was buried at Timaru Cemetery.[8]
