a daughter of the late Dr. Kent, and left behind a large family. He was a man of large heart and wide benevolence. Eor any cause of charity his generous aid might be confidently reckoned upon, whilst his professional skill was ever at the service of the poorest and humblest.
Theodore Heydecke,
WHOSE death at the early age of 35, on January 29, 1867, was much regretted in musical circles, was a native of Brunswick, and arrived in the colony in 1857. He occupied the position of bandmaster to the Volunteer Band, and conductor of the Catholic Band. He was a most accomplished musician, and as well acquainted with the theory as the practice of his art. As a clarionet player he has never probably been equalled here, and the masterly style of his performances on his favourite instrument will not be soon forgotten by those who heard them.
Matthew Smith, J.P.,
ARRIVED in the colony by the "Africaine" in November, 1836. He resided for a short time at Kangaroo Island, and afterwards practised the profession of the law in Adelaide. On the early settlement of Port Lincoln Mr. Smith was appointed a Resident Magistrate. He ultimately returned to Adelaide, where he continued to conduct a respectable practice, and filled at intervals the important offices of Stipendiary Magistrate, and Acting Commissioner of Insolvency. On his retirement from the public service, Mr. Smith was the recipient of a testimonial from the members of the legal profession in Adelaide. He died at Prospect, Nov. 18, 1858, aged sixty-four years. He was a man of great intelligence, and much liked by all classes of the community.
