Ayr, 29 September. 'Mr A.H. Lambton, who was one of the very old pioneers of the North, came up from South with cattle in 1860, and was for some time in the employ of the late R. Towns and Co. he was a very noted rider, and a fine man among stock. In 1857 he settled on the Lower Burdekin and has been carrying on farming till the time of his death which occurred on the night of the 22nd instant. Mr Lambton had been for some time in a very delicate state of health, suffering from aneurism which ultimately caused his death. He was 50 years of age, was born at Parramatta, New South Wales. Owing to the distance, the funeral did not take place until dusk, the attendance considering the hour being large. Mr Lambton leaves a widow and eight children to mourn his loss. Mr Lambton's father was a solicitor at Windon, New South Wales. Mr A. H. Lambton's brother is deputy postmaster general for New South Wales. The deceased was very quiet, retiring, cheerful, affable and sincere, - and exceedingly straightforward in all dealings.'
