Mr. Izard arrived in Auckland in the month of May, 1860 per ship ?Avalanche,? the Waikato War having just commenced. He did not stay long in the north, preferring Wellington for its central position.

In 1868 he admitted Mr. William Pharazyn, brother to the Hon. R. Pharazyn, to his firm, but this gentleman died four years later. Three years after this Mr. H. D. Bell, now one of the members for Wellington, joined Mr. Izard under the style of ?Izard and Bell,? a firm that was very prominent in Wellington for many years. In 1876 he had a well-merited trip to England to see his friends and recruit his health
