The many friends of Mr. Samuel Charles Lucas Pyrke, J.P., of Bowling Alley Point, will regret to hear of his death, which occurred in Sydney on Wednesday, under an operation. The late Mr. Pyrke was one of the grand old men of the Tamworth district —a man of sound judgment, and possessing many good qualities. The deceased gentleman was born in London (Eng.) in 1836, and was thus 75 years of age. When but 16, he journeyed to the Crimean war, and then came to Australia.
