HASELDEN, FREDERICK HENRY was born in London, being the son of Charles Haselden, with whom he came to New Zealand in 1860. He was a member of the Rangitikei county council and the licensing committee. He won the Patea seat at a by-election (4 Jul 1901) on the resignation of G. Hutchison, and retained it on a second election (Nov 1901). He was defeated by W. Symes at the next general election (1902). Haselden was a conservative in politics, opposing the Liberal land system and co-operative labour, protection and federation. He left a few years later for South Africa.
