Ho left home for tho boiieiit of his health, having a weak chest, for New South Wales, where he arrived in the beginning of KS72. Shortly ufterhia arrival in Sydney ho obtained employment as reporter and reader for the Evening Xews and Town and Country .Journal. After holding this viusihion for some considerable lime, ho was compelled to give it no, the incessant night, and day work not l.eing conducive to good health. Shortly alter [this lie accepted the position of Clovernmont Printer for the Tonga Government. This wns in the rosy days of that little kingdom. Not liking tho manner in whieli tho Tonga political machinery was worked, ho was not backward in expressing his sentiments upon the mutter. For this display of his independent and fearless nature he very soon had to sutler dismissal. Whilst ill Tonga ho contracted that disease—dysentery—whieli is the bane of many of the islands of the South Pacific, and from then till thetimu of his death—a matter of nearly four years—ho Buffered more or less from it. Mr. Uawson was a very fluent writer, and there is verv little ilnuhl lint] lie enjoyed good health. Bill) lived, he WOlllil luive eventually made his mark asalitera- j eur. On Sunday morning nil tho flag* whore and afloat were lowered half-mast

out of respect for the deceased, and in the afernoon his remains were carried to their last rc'in « plane bv six o" bis fell iw citizens and were followed by a largo number of flie:ids which lie la! made ■luring his short stay i i enr mid -t.
