From Jamaica, intelligence has been received announcing the death of Mr. Ernest Alexander Clendining Schalch, the Attorney-General of that island, which occurred on the 31st ult., from an attack of yellow fever.

He gained a studentship at the Inner Temple in Jan. 1864, and was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in Easter Term of that year, and joined the Home Circuit. He practised with considerable success as a special pleader, and attended the Surrey Sessions. He left England about three years ago, on being appointed to the Attorney-Generalship of that island, and lived to acquire a high reputation in the colony. Mr. Schalch was married, and had a family; his only daughter, Miss Gertrude Geraldine Schalch, died about the same time as her father.
W. JENKINS, ESQ.
The late William Jenkins, Esq., Q.C., LL.D., of Clifton Court, near Bristol, who died on the 22nd ult., in the sixty-eighth year of his age, was the eldest son of the late William Jenkins, Esq., formerly of the Treasury, Dublin Castle, and a lineal descendant of the learned lawyer and judge David Jenkins, who was detained a prisoner in the Tower of London, and again in Wallingford Castle, for his loyalty to Charles I. He was born in the year 1805, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his Bachelor's degree in 1826, proceeded M.A. in 1832, and was made LL.D. in 1856. He was a student of the Inner Temple, and was called to the Irish Bar in Trinity Term 1829. He was appointed a Q.C. in 1860, by the then Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Sir Maziere Brady, and retired from the Bar in 1863, since when he resided at Clifton Court. Mr. Jenkins had the reputation of being a sound equity lawyer, and was particularly successful in investigating titles. He also practised in the Court of Chancery, where he distinguished himself in many important cases. Mr. Jenkins married on the 26th Sept. 1835, Helen, eldest daughter of the late John Thompson, Esq., of Bath, by whom he leaves one son, William, barrister-at-law of the Western Circuit, and also two daughters.
H. HOLLIST, ESQ.
The late Hasler Hollist, Esq., of Lodsworth House, near Petworth, Sussex, barrister-at-law of the Middle Temple, who died on the 30th ult., in the 77th year of his age, was the only son of the late Anthony Capron, Esq., who assumed in 1833 the name of Hollist in lien of his patronymic: his mother was Margaret, daughter of Richard Hasler, Esq., of Bury, Lancashire, and he was born in the year 1797. Mr. Hollist was educated at Winchester, and at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1820, and proceeded M.A. in 1823.

He married in 1825, Frances Georgiana, eldest daughter of the late Sir Francis M. Ommanney, by whom he has left a family to lament his loss; his eldest son, Mr. Edward Ommanney Hollist, is a captain in the Royal Artillery, and an instructor of artillery at Woolwich.
S. STONE, ESQ.
The late Samuel Stone, Esq., many years town clerk and clerk to the magistrates for the borough of Leicester, who died on the 5th inst., at his residence, Elmfield, Stonygate, near Leicester, in the seventieth year of his age, of whom we gave a short notice in our last impression, was the second son of the late Samuel Stone, Esq., at Kington, in the county of Leicester, by Mary, daughter of Joseph Chamberlin, Esq. He was born at Kington in the year 1804, and was educated at Leicester under the Rev. Charles Berry. He was admitted a solicitor in Michaelmas Term 1825, and was appointed on the 1st Jan. 1836 to the office of town clerk of the borough of Leicester. In April of the same year he was made clerk to the magistrates of that borough, and in 1849 he was appointed clerk to the Local Board of Leicester. He retired from practice in September 1872, in consequence of failing health, and was immediately afterwards made a magistrate for the borough of Leicester. Mr. Stone, says the Leicester Journal, during his lifetime, "was one of the few men who contrived to gain the friendship and respect of all parties. He was an active, straightforward, honest citizen, and as a public officer served the town faithfully and uprightly for more than a quarter of a century, winning the esteem and affection of his fellow townsmen, as the testimonial presented to him a short time back on his retirement from public life amply testified. Mr. Stone will be much missed in Leicester. His familiar face was always welcome at any public gathering, and he had ever a kind word for those with whom he came in contact. Affable and amiable to a degree he made no enemies, and has died respected by all. His example is one which other citizens may profitably imitate." Mr. Stone married in 1829 Catharine Smart, daughter of Benjamin Fowler, Esq., by whom he has left a family of six children. The remains of the deceased gentleman were interred in the Leicester Cemetery, the funeral being a public one, attended by the mayor, magistrates and corporation of the borough.
