Obituary.

MR. MAURICE BIOBDAN, GRETMOUTH.

Another of the old pioneers of the Weßt Coast passed away at the Grey mouth Hospital on August 12, in the person of Mr. Maurice Riordan. The deceased was a native of Cork, and arrived on the West Coast in the sixties, when he took part in many of the rushes. He was a general favorite, and many acts of kindness to his fellowminers in the early days of the gold fields are recorded to his credit. FailiDg health compelled him a short time ago to enter the local hospital, where he had everything needful placed at his disposal by kind friends. The funeral wan representative of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by all classes. — R.I.P,
