FALKINER, on the 28th September, at Coral COTTAGE, West Maitland, Frederick Nathaniel FALKINER, aged 38 years, second son John FALKINER, and brother of R. FALKINER, Wynnum.

FALKINER--On the 2nd. July, at his residence, Coral Cottage, West Maitland, John FALKINER, son of the late Nathaniel FALKINER, county Tipperary, aged 80 years.

The Methodist (Sydney) 28 July 1894
IN MEMORIAM.
MR. JOHN FALKINER.
On the 2nd July, John Falkiner finished
his course with joy, and entered the rest
of God. He was born in Ireland on the
30th September, 1814, and had, therefore,
reached his 80th year. He came to this
colony in 1842, and was converted
to God in the year 1840, in the
old country. With the exception of a
few weeks spent in Sydney, all his
colonial life has been associated with
the Hunter River District. By his
death, one of the old landmarks of
Methodism has been removed from the
West Maitland Circuit. And although
his days of active service had ceased for
some time, his loss is most keenly felt
by all classes of the Community. For
over 50 years Mr. Falkiner had been
identified with Methodism in this Circuit.
He was a co-worker with
Jonathan Innis, the first minister appointed
and his first work was the
starting of a Sabbath-school on the
verandah of the mission-house. During
this long course of years he filled with
credit to himself aud great satisfaction
to others, every office in the Church
that a laymen could fill — from Sabbath
school superintendent to a representative
in Conference. A very clear insight
into Mr. Falkiner's character is obtained
from a document which had been carefully
preserved. It is in the form of a
covenant engagement made with God in
the year 1840. This covenant engagement
was re-signed in 1847, and 1853,
and, with further additions, in 1885.
The united testimony of all that knew
him is that he kept this covenant. He
walked with God in the deepest
humility of spirit — while his life was
entirely devoted to His service. His
own workmen, together with the widow,
the fatherless, and the distressed, rise
up with one accord to tell to-day what
was not known before, of the good he
had done and the help he had rendered
to them in their day of need. In the
consecration of his life to God, verily
he had kept his covenant. A memorial
service was conducted in the West
Maitland Church on July 8th, by the
Rev. C. Jones, and a large congregation
was present to testify their respect and
esteem for their departed friend.
[The Editors desire to add a few
words to the above. The late John Falkiner
was known to both of them for the
past 26 years. He was a man of
unblemished character, of striking
physique, of kindly disposition, and of
rare and unwavering fidelity to Methodism.
By his personal character, his
liberal support, and his services both in
and out of office, he did much to build
up our Church on the Hunter River.
He was ever a friend to ministers and a
lover of good men. ' The memory of
the just is blessed.']

Lamented Death of Mr. John Falkiner. —
A venerable townsman went to his rest at midday on

months of completing his eightieth year, died at
his residence between one and two o'clock, from
bronchitis accclerated by influenza and weak
ness of the heart's action. The connection
of the deceased gentleman with west Mait
land dates back to the thirties, but we have not
ascertained the exact year of Mr Falkiner's
advent — we believe it was 1837 or 1838.
He was by trade a boot and shoemaker,
and worked at his bench for many years, till by in
dustry and frugality he enlarged his means and
his way of business. And eventually he abandoned
the boot and shoe trade for that of a baker and con
fectioner, which he was carrying on at the time of
his death, assisted mainly by his wife. Mr. Falkiner
was senior trustee and Circuit steward in the Wes
leyan Church, with which he had been con
nected almost since its establishment in
West Maitland, and he has in turn held all
the offices in the church. He was an alderman of
the Borough for one term, but was not otherwise pro
minent in general public life. No religious move
ment, however, lacked his countenance and his
earnest help. He leaves a widow and three sons
and four daughters surviving, one of his daughters
being married to Mr. John Rourke and the other to
Mr. J. H. Brunker. — The late Mr. Falkiner
was a sincerely religious man, a pattern to all
around him. He was a leader in the church
of God — a pillar of the edifice. An able expounder
of the truth as he saw it, he walked in the way in
which he would have others walk; and he was
zealous, painstaking, unsparing of effort, and perse
vering. His extended experience made him a valu
able counsellor alike in religious and in worldly
matters; his probity and uprightness in every re
lation of life won him the trust and confidence of
everybody, and in his death the town suffers an ir
reparable loss. Fervent in spirit, he was also dili
gent in business, and he succeeded in acquiring a
decent competency by virtue of exemplary conduct
of his affairs. Death has been busy of late, but
has taken none whose absence will be so severely
missed in some circles.

v; THE RAVENSFIELD MURDER.

George Swan, In custody by remand, charged with the murder of John Barton, at Ravensfield, on the 18th April, was again brought up at West Maitland, on Thursday.

John Wallace, sworn, deposed: I am gaoler at East Maitland, I know the prisoner ; he was received in the gaol on the 4th August, 1859, and was discharged on 16th March of the present year, I860 ; when he left the gaol he had no money, and he had none when he was received. I cannot say whether he bad a small bag amongst his clothing, which would answer the purpose of a purse.

Margaret Falkiner, sworn, deposed : I have been examined In this ease before ; in my evidence I spoke of a bag which the prisoner had when he paid me for the boots ; he took silver out of it-a great many halfcrowns ; I did not get a good view of the bag, and I could not tell its size; I could see the top of it only, and it appeared dirty ; from the top I thought the material was of a running stripe, and I think dark ; the bag had a running string ; I saw it opened ; I cannot swear that the bag now produced is made of the same material as the bag I saw ; after prisoner had taken out the silver I before spoke of, there appeared to me to be more silver in the bag.

Jane Falkiner, sworn, deposed : I was examined before in this case, in my former evidence I mentioned a bag; I did not get a good view of it ; if I saw it again I think I should know it ; it was made of some colored cloth, but I cannot describe the pattern, I do not think I could identify the pattern if I saw it ; the bag was about the size of the one produced, but I cannot say it was made of the same stuff. ,

The Police Magistrate then addressed the prisoner, and cautioned him in the manner prescribed by law. Prisoner ' then replied i "All I have to say is simply this. If you had listened to me the first day when I asked you BO to do, I would then have given you proof positive as to ray innooeuoe t but as . His, I defer it till a futuro time, fearing that I should be ob*etructed from so doing by the manner in which I nave already , been led through the town.
Prisoner was then committed to talc« hie trial at the next Circuit Court to be holden at Maitland.
