Description of Martin Cunningham, better known as "Martin:" An Englishman, but looks not unlike a half-caste, a sailor and station hand, about 35 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches high, stout square build, broad round flat face, swarthy complexion, ill-looking, black or very dark brown hair inclined to curl at ends, black whiskers, beard, and moustache, tattooed on both arms and back of hands, walks with his arms wide from body; when last seen, he wore an old brown felt hat with leather strap round it, hat cut in two or three places, through which the strap was passed; dark brown or black single-breasted coat, slit about the hips; bluish tweed vest, moleskin trousers with a small blue stripe down seam, and water-tight boots.

He is believed to have arrived in Port Chalmers by the ship "Jura," twelve years ago. He has worked for some years on the West Coast road, and was generally employed on stations, knows the back country well, and has lived amongst the Natives in the North Island.
