On Thursday, the 20th of December ult., one of the steerage passengers from the Randolph, named John Williams, who had been walking out to Riccarton and Christchurch, was found lying dead near the bridle-path, on the top of the hill above the town, by some other travellers on their return. Medical assistance was quickly procured, but it was ascertained that life had been for some time quite extinct. The cause of his death appears to have been of an apoplectic nature, and was probably hurried on by the excessive heat of the weather, and the unusual fatigue, to which, in his praiseworthy endeavours to find a suitable spot on which to locate his family, the deceased had exposed himself. The remains were brought into town, and buried in the cemetery on the following day by the Rev. E. Packe. John Williams bore a high character with all who had an opportunity of knowing him. We call attention to the Advertisement which we have received on the subject of his widow and eight children.
