Obituary

We have to record the death of Dr. Wright, who died on Tuesday morning, November 8. Dr. Wright was one of our very earliest colomists, having- arrived in the survey ship Cygnet, which came in the year 1836, bringing Mr. Thomas Gilbert, the Hon. G. S. Kingston, and himself as surgeon to the survey expedition. Previous to his departure from England for this colony, Dr. Wright was for many years superintendent of the Bethlehem Hospital, London, and after his arrival here had for a long time the best medical practice in the place. He was in his 70th year at the time of his death.
