DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER. – On Saturday, a pensioner named George Furley died somewhat unexpectedly at his home in Mayor’s-lane, after suffering for some time from consumption. The deceased joined the 2nd Dragoon Guards in 1856, and afterwards became Corporal. He went to India in 1857, at the time of the mutiny, and was present at the action of Nusserapore, the siege of Lucknow, and other actions. He served twelve and a half years abroad, and was discharged as unfit for service in 1873. Of late years, the deceased had been employed at the Newbury Gas Works, where he gained great respect. His funeral on Wednesday was attended by the Manager, the Clerk and those employed at the works. The deceased leaves a wife and three children unprovided for, and a fund is being raised for their assistance.
