It is with unfeigned regret that I
chronicle the death of Mr Bryant Webb,
who expired at his residence, Liverpool
street, to-day from typhoid. Mr Webb
took to his bed some few weeks since,
having it was supposed contracted the
disease in a mild form. On enquiry yester
day it was learnt that he was progressing
favourably towards recovery, but to-day
acute symptoms set in, and within an hour
after development he breathed his last.
Perhaps no man was more popular in the
community than the deceased, 'who,
although he took no part in political
matters, took a keen and lively interest in
all things that were conducive to the
welfare of his native place. Ho was a
Freemason of many years' standing, and
held high offices in the fresh constitution.
He was 52 years of age at the time of his
demise, and was the second son of
the late John Webb. He was married to a
daughter of the late John Riley, by whom
he had no issue. Universal sympathy is
expressed for the widow in her loss.
