On

calico printing and dyeing in Manchester. In 1843, however, he began his lifelong work in agricultural chemistry with Mr. Lawes at Rothamsted, work fruitful in honours to the two experimentalists, and of large advantage to the agricultural world. M., first, 1850, a dau. of Rev. George Lawrie; second, 1855, Maria, dau. of Mr. Benjamin Smith. On the 25th, aged 84, the Rev. James Thomson, for many years Second Master in the Upper Grammar School of Christ's Hospital, and afterwards Chaplain at St. Andrew's, Compiègne. On the 25th, aged 73, Major Francis Beaumaris Bulkeley, who was conspicuous in the New Zealand wars of the sixties. On the 26th, at Edinburgh, aged 80, Sir Joseph Noel Paton, R.S.A., a painter, some of whose early work took high rank in direct competition with that of eminent artists; his subjects were mainly sacred, allegorical, or mythological, and although his style had ceased to be in fashion some years before his death, his pictures were always marked by lofty purpose, a reverent spirit, and careful workmanship, and some of them had enjoyed wide popularity. He was appointed Queen's Limner for Scotland 1865, and knighted, 1867. On the 26th, aged 48, Major Walter Boulton Spooner, Army Veterinary Department; served in Afghan War, 1879-80 (mentioned in despatches); and also in the Egyptian Expedition of 1882, and the Nile Expedition of 1884-5. the 28th, aged 64, David Law, an eminent Scottish etcher and water-colour painter, of whom that high authority, the late Mr. P. G. Hamerton, said that he had never met with any interpretative etching more generally successful than Mr. Law's. On the 29th, at Winchester, aged 72, Major-General H. P. Montgomery, late of the King's Royal Rifles; served with distinction in the Kaffir War, 1851-3; and also saw service in China; an enthusiastic automobilist. On the 30th, Thomas Dunbar Ingram, Professor of Jurisprudence and Hindu and Mahomedan Law at the Presidency College, Calcutta; a close student of Irish affairs, and an author of various historical works on Ireland. On the 30th, aged 67, RearAdmiral Frederick William Hallowes. He had seen much service in the Crimea (medals with clasps), and in China, where he commanded a gunboat at the captures of Canton and of the Taku forts (medal with four clasps); in command of Argus successfully defended Chi-fu against 20,000 rebels; served also in the Abyssinian Expedition. On the 31st, the Very Rev. Henry Jellett, Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin; ordained, 1844, after successful career at Trinity College, Dublin, and spent many years of his ministry in the South of Ireland; when Archdeacon of Cloyne was also Canon of St. Patrick's, and in 1889 was elected Dean by the Chapter; was a sound theologian, an effective preacher, and a prominent figure in the representative body of the Irish Church. M., Elizabeth, dau. of the late Mr. James Morgan, of Tivoli House, Cork. At St. Louis, Missouri, aged 96, Captain John Lawson, an engineer who worked with George Stephenson, and under his direction built the first locomotive. He had made a fortune in the United States in steamship enterprises. In December, at Richmond, Quebec, aged 86, Adolphus Aylmer, seventh Baron Aylmer. He went to Canada in the thirties, when his father was Governor-General, and settled in the Dominion, where he took a great interest in agriculture and education, and, without becoming prominent in politics, served the colony in a variety of ways with much public spirit. He served with the Canadian Militia in the Rebellion of 1837, and later commanded the Richmond battalion of that force. His eldest s., who succeeded him, commanded the Canadian contingent at the Diamond Jubilee. In December, at Berlin, Dr. Franz Xavier Kraus, Professor of Church History at Freiburg University, and an authority on Christian archæology and art, on which he had written much. At Brixton, F. W. Robinson, a prolific writer of novels, some of which enjoyed wide popularity, and a journalist of ability. He was the founder and editor of Home Chimes. In December, at Cambridge, Mass., Professor Joseph Henry Thayer, a theological teacher of wide repute in the United States, and an authority on New Testament criticism; for many years held the chair of that subject at Harvard, retiring, as Professor Emeritus, only a year before his death; was for some time Secretary of the New Testament Company of the American Revision Committee.
