Deied—On Sunday afternoon last, after a short but severe illness of ten days, Mr. John Jaques, of Clarence-street, Sydney. He had filled the situation of County Gaoler for the last three years, with every satisfaction to the Authority under which he had been employed; and rendered himself very much respected by his humanity in that Office. He was interred on Tuesday afternoon, being followed to the grave by a respectable body of numerous friends.
