NOTHER OLD COLONIST GONE.

DEATH OF MR. ROBERT CRIBB.

Mr. Robert Cribb, who died peacefully on Sunday morning at his residence, Milton, will be remembered by all old Brisbane residents as a prominent figure in public life. His increasing years have of late kept him somewhat in the background, but up to within a few days of his death he might have been seen driving to his place of business, and he may be said to have retained most of his faculties unimpaired to the end. He was 88 years of age, and it is a somewhat curious fact that exactly one-half of this long life was spent in the colony, as he landed in Brisbane from the ship Fortitude just 44 years ago. While of late Mr. Cribb's wonted activity was somewhat shaken and pre- monitions were not wanting of the approaching end, his mind was clear and his interest in affairs keen up to the close. On Monday last after an unusually busy day in the city he sat chatting with his son Mr. William Cribb till about 11 o'clock. Retiring to his room he was seized with a feeling of giddiness, and fell on the floor. After a violent fit of retching he was got to bed, where he remained till his decease yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. After the first seizure he appears to have been without pain, and from the commencement recognised what the issue would be, calmly remarking to his son, "I think I'm passing quietly away."

Mr. Cribb leaves a very large family, chiefly in Brisbane and Ipswich, extending to the third generation, and he had many warm friends among the older residents of Brisbane. Indeed it may be said that though his life had exceeded the allotted span by eighteen years, and he had long since reached the period beyond which our strength in ordinary cases is but " labour and sorrow," yet he will be greatly missed by many who knew him as guide, counsellor, and friend. He was throughout life a man of simple, almost austere, habits, and remarkable for his energy, vigour, and tanacity of purpose in any course which he regarded as right and just. His father was a merchant captain trading to Newfoundland and the Mediterranean, and as a boy of ten or twelve years Mr. Cribb frequently accompanied him on these trips, being on one occasion wrecked on the ice off Newfoundland. It was no doubt in these voyages that he acquired much of the hardihood and simplicity of life which characterised his subsequent career.

The following notes of Mr. Cribb's life in Queensland are taken from "Pugh's Almanac":-"He was born at Poole, Dorset, England, January, 1805. Was educated at a Lancasterian school in his native town in the early days of the system ; served his time as a baker, &c., and then left for London, where for twenty-two years he followed his calling. In January, 1840, he arrived in Moreton Bay by the ship Fortitude, the first of three shipments of middle class immigrants sent in that year to this district through the patriotic and self denying efforts of the late Dr. Lang. Shortly after his arrival the squatters made great efforts to get Moreton Bay separated from New South Wales as a Crown colony, with convicts hoping thus to secure low rents and cheap labour, and the British Government were favourable to the design. Feeling that this would be destructive of the free public life to which they had been accustomed, he, with others, took an active part in the conflict which followed, resulting in the victory of the popular cause, and, after nearly ten years' unremitting effort, in Separation, with a Constitutional Government. Before and at the time of Separation be represented East Moreton in the New South Wales Legislature, and subsequently served in the first and second Parliaments of the new colony of Queensland, using his influence in behalf of liberal legislation generally, with special interest in securing the separation of Church and State, and the passing of the Real Property Act of 1861, which has proved so great a boon to the colony. During several sessions he endeavoured to obtain an alteration in the law of primogeniture, to permit marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and the amalgamation of the two main branches of the legal profession ; all of which have since become law."

The funeral will move from Mr. Cribb's late residence at Milton this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

A very sudden death occurred on Wednesday morning at Sandgate, when Miss Southerden,daughter of E. B. South- erden, passed away after a very short illness. On Monday morning she had been doing some gardening, and, hav
ing finished, she went to the bathroom. Some time after a member of the family found her on the floor of the room. She was at once taken to bed, and Dr. Davidson was sent for, who on examination found that she was suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, which produced paralysis of the left side. The patient con- tinued in a state of partial coma till Tues- day evening, when there was a change for the better, but during the night inflamma- tion set in, and she passed away at about 9 o'clock next morning. Miss Southerden was about 47 years of age, and had spent a great part of her life in Sandgate, where she was very highly respected by all who knew her. She was for years the Hon. secretary of the Convalescent Home for Sick Children at Sandgate, also a very energetic worker in connection with the local church. The Southerden family are very old identities of Queensland, Mr. Southerden and his late wife having come to Brisbane in the ship Fortitude in 1849. The funeral left the residence of Mr. E. B. Southerden, Langholme, Sandgate, for the Bald Hills Cemetery, at 3.30 p.m. yesterday.
