THE LATE MR. JAMES TORR, OF MINTARO.
Another early colonist, Mr. James Torr, of Mintaro, died last week. He came to South Australia in the year 1847 and settled in the neighborhood of Mintaro. His name was well known in the colony as a prominent land owner. His kindness and liberality to his tenants won for him a large amount of esteem. Many years ago he contested the district of Stanley with the late Sir G. S. Kingston and Mr. Bright, but was unsuccessful. A large gathering of friends from various parts of the colony assembled to witness the funeral ceremony at Mintaro on Saturday last.
