Two of his brothers survive him in Otago ; three died there. He leaves four married daughters. Mr. Martin passed through all the vicissitudes of colonial life creditably. He was esteemed a pood friend, a good citizen, and a man of blameless life. He was a native of the North of Ireland, but came to the colony from Meghara, near Dublin. He died one of the wealthiest men in the colony. His eldest son is Dr. Martin, of this city.-"
