Thomas Gill

On Saturday last, the body of Thomas Gill, coal broker, was found in the harbour, near the end of the Upper Quay.  He had been missing since the evening of Friday the 14th inst. and is supposed to have missed his way in the darkness of that tempestuous night, and fallen over the Quay, where he was unfortunately drowned.  With grief we have to state, that he has left a widow, with seven helpless children, to deplore his loss; and that she is also pregnant, and very near her in-lying, of an eighth child.  From the time of her husband being missed, she has been in a state of mind bordering on distraction; and her situation since the body was found, has been, and is truly pitiable.  We are glad to observe that some humane individuals have set on foot a subscription for her relief, and that of her infant family; to which we make no doubt the public will contribute with their wonted benevolence.
