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.
