It is with deep regret that we notice the sudden and untimely death of Captain Hugh Cleland. Information of the sad accident by which he lost his life was received in town on Saturday evening and caused a general feeling of regret. Particulars will be found in our telegraphic columns. The remains of the deceased officer have been brought down to his residence at the Hutt, from which the funeral procecsion will start to-morrow. A general order has been issued that the City Volunteer Corps are to parade at the railway station to-morrow afternoon at 2.15 to proceed to the Hutt and attend the funeral.

GREYTOWN.
20th July.
Captain Cleland was killed at 2 p.m. on Saturday. He was passing between the coach and the bank of the road. His horse shied and tried to turn (probably the hind wheel of the coach struck the horse''s rump), Captain Cleland was unseated, and after passing the vehicle he fell. The horse tried to jump over the body, but was checked by the reins, which Captain Cleland held, and one of the horse''s hind feet struck him on the jaw and the other on the chest, death resulting instantaneously. The coach and fifteen passengers were detained at Featherston. An inquest was held the same night. A. verdict of accidental death was returned. A rider was appended to the verdict, exonerating the driver from all blame. The coach did not leave Featherston till after ten, reaching Masterton about three on Sunday morning.

Six carriages were attached to the engine, and were filled to excess, principally with Volunteers and friends of the deceased who wished to be present at the funeral.

The remains of the late Captain Cleland were yesterday conveyed to the cemetery at the Hutt, A large number of volunteers of the different corps of the city, together with a detachment of the Armed Constabulary, and many civilians, proceeded to the Hutt to be present on the occasion. The Hutt volunteers furnished the tiring party. The procession left the residence of the deceased at 3.30 p.m., the Artillery Band playing appropriate dirges.

We have to record the demise of Mrs. Margaret Cleland, who has passed away at the age of 79 years. The deceased lady was the widow of the late Mr. Cleland, who for some years was Captain and Adjutant of the Hutt and Wairarapa volunteers. Mr. Cleland was at one time sergeant in the Imperial Army, and obtaining his discharge at the conclusion of the Crimean war, he emigrated to New Zealand and commenced storekeeping at the Lower Hutt. He subsequently did duty with the volunteers in the Wellington districts, and it was whilst visiting the militia and volunteers in the Wairarapa that he sustained a fatal accident. The deceased lady has left two sons — Mr. R. Cleland, Chairman of the Hutt Town Board, and W. Cleland, storekeeper, Taita — and two married daughters to mourn their loss.
