This monument, erected many years ago under instructions from Sir George Grey, has been cleared of the growth which hid it, and cleaned and renovated, at the instance of the Mayor of Brunnerton, Mr James Smeaton. The monument was erected at Dobson, on the West Coast, to the memory of Gorge Dobson, a brother of the late Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson. George Dobson, a young man of great promise, was murdered on May 28, 1866, by the Burgess-Kelly gang when in the service of the Canterbury Provincial Survey and Engineering Department, over which his father, Mr Edward Dobson presided.
