The following is extracted from the Daylcsfoid ( A'ictoria ) Advocate of the 2 nd November , 1 S 60 .- — DEATH OF BRO . CHARLES MOULTRIE . The death of this lamented gentleman is now so generally known in the district , aud even beyond it , it would be necessary to refer to it as a subject of intelligence for our readers ; but nevertheless the melancholy duty devolves upon us of recording it in our columns in
terms of respect commensurate with the high esteem in which ho was held . To the accidental occasion of it we will but briefly advert , for the cherished memory of the dead should not be disquieted by the recital of rude incidents which did not occur in that regular course of nature to which both Christianity and philosophy teach us to submit as being the end inevitable in the fate of all men . On Friday afternoon last , immediately after the deceased gentleman had mounted his horse at the rear of his residence a
large dog playfully jumped up with the apparent intention of biting the animal , who , frightened , first reared ami afterwards bucked , so throwing Brother Moultrie off beside his own threshold , from which he was raised in an insensible state by his friend Mr . Trimble , who with assistance bore him to bis bedroom . Hither and thither now sped messengers for medical assistance , which was promptly available in one instance : and before half an hour had elapsed three doctors were in attendance
upon the sufferer , while at the same time , on the lawn before the house , were assembled many of his fellow townsmen , anxiously awaiting a medical opinion , and feeling deeply interested in its being a favourable one . Not many minutes after the accident had
occurred it was known throughout the town , and the utmost interest was manifested by every one in the result , which unhappily proved fatal about three o'clock the following- morning . The deceased , Bro . Charles Moultrie , Esq ., solicitor and attorney of the Supreme Court of this colony , having been born on the 29 th of May , ISIS , was 42 years of age at his death . His father was the Rev . George Moultrie , M . A .., A-lcar of Cleobuvy , Mortimer , Shropshire , and the Rev . John Moultrie , Rector of Rugby , is his
brother . The deceased gentleman first practised in London , and afterwards sailed for Jamaica , where he spent two years . From that place ho came to this colony where he arrived on the 1 st Sept ., 1853 . After a brief stay in the metropolis , and a short residence in Geelong , he came up to Daylesford , aud here established himself in the practice of his profession . The police court and county court practice he avoided as much as he could do so consistently with the interest of his regular clients , and devoted himself almost
exclusively to the conveyancing branch of his profession , in which he was reputed to possess high ability . In a small community such as this is , that merit which commands general respect and secures the friendship of all , must be eminent indeed , for the same opportunities that exist for distinguishing in a man what is good are open to those who delight in detecting what is bad in him . And yet by all the deceased was esteemed ; his goodness by being familiar to his fellow townsmen was not diminished in their regard , and his necessarily easy accessibility to all in no wise detracted from the rcspectabiiitv of his position in our societv .
