Charles Hamilton Nichols (1811–1869)

It is with much regret we record to-day the death of Mr. Charles H. Nichols, who for many years was an active partner in this journal. Mr Nichols expired on Wednesday night at his residence Vine Cottage, Redfern, after many months of intense suffering. The readers of "Bell's Life in Sydney" need little reminding to call Mr Nichols to their recollection; for though he has for three years, or nearly so, ceased to be connected with the paper, he will be well remembered by the sportsmen of the last thirty years as having been intimately associated with them. We sincerely regret to add that the deceased gentleman leaves a widow and four young children, we fear not too well provided for. Let us hope that the old friends of the father will rally round, and lighten the burden of those he leaves behind.
