Mr Holdsworth, who for many years filled the office of Comissioner of Crown Lands, retired from the service some months ago on pension, his health having been a good deal shaken by a long and serious illness through which he recently passed. It was hoped, however, that his health would soon be restored, but on Saturday he become completely paralysed on the right side, and although apparently sensible, he is quite speechless, Dr Grace is in attendance, and it is pleasing to say does not regard Mr Holdßworth'a symptoms as likely to prove immediately dangerous to life.
