Referring to the journey of Edward Jollie and Edward Lee in February-March 1852, to Amuri from
Wairau with 1800 sheep, -
one cannot resist the comment that Jollie, though he had the advantage of building on the
experience of others, was the best 'natural explorer' among the men discussed in this chapter.
... Edward Jollie's practical gifts and his versatility made a fine combination with the charm
and enterprise of Lee.

Edward Jollie in 1854 was gazetted as Magistrate of Nelson Province, and held the office of
Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages for the Amuri District, and acted as Deputy
Commissioner of Lands
