Death and Funeral of Mr. Selby CORYNDON. The D.F. Herald says:- "Death has added to his long list
another well-known name, Mr. Selby CORYNDON. He died on Thursday after a painful illness of some days duration. In the palmy days of the Eastern Province, the late Mr. CORYNDON had the largest practice of an attorney in Queenstown; and removing to the Fields in the early days, he was acknowledged as a shrewdly clever lawyer. For a long time the deceased was the local legal adviser of the London and South African Exploration Company (Limited), and up to the time of his death, he had a large practice, being accounted about the best criminal lawyer on the Fields. Mr. CORYNDON was but in the prime of life at the time of his demise, and his genial manners and kindly disposition will be much missed by the host of friends he had on the Fields and elsewhere. To his bereaved widow and family we tender our most sincere sympathy...
The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Canon GAUL, assisted by the Rev. DARRAGH, and at the close of the former, in a few appropriate words, dwelt upon the many estimable qualities of the deceased, not the least of which being his well-known hospitality and liberality in assisting the poor and needy. The late Mr. Selby CORYNDON was in his fiftieth year.
