    - Iv* The Late Mr. F. A. Suttaby.

    quainted with his unfortunate position . Will you therefore permit us to draw attention to the fact

    that at the time of his decease some attached friends , who had long been acquainted with him , were engaged in raising a subscription on his

    behalf , and for the benefit of his family ? The following appeal was drawn up and issued by one of the most respected members of the tradewho

    was well acquai nted with all the circumstances , , and as first printed was marked * private . ' Death has now removed the seal of privacy i . % i .

    ' Dear Sir , —May we ask your kind consideraj tion and assistance in the following case ? ; « Our mutual friendMr . F . A . Suttabylate

    , , of Amen Corner , has from various causes beyond ' . his control fallen into dire straits . The busiwhich about into the

    ness , a year ago passed I hands of a limited company , has entirely collapsed , is now being wound up , and Mr . Suttaby

    s \ is left absolutely without means ; added to this he is , and has been for many months , in so pre-! carious a state of health that the doctors who

    | have been attending him pronounce his case to be hopeless unless he is able to take a longvoyage . Thus stranded in fortune and in health ,

    a few of his more immediate sympathisers , who have become acquainted with his sad circumstances , have thoug C _ J ht that if an appeal A . A . were

    made to his numerous friends the necessary funds would readily be forthcoming , whereby this opportunity might be attained of a return

    - * . A . «/ O to that state of health and condition so necessary in begimaing again the strife for himself and his numerous family A / .

    ' It is to be hoped that a sufficient sum may be gathered to enable Mr . ISuttaby to proceed by long sea route to Australia ,

    accompanied by one of his daughters , leaving sufficient funds behind to satisfy the pressing necessities of his family during his absence . It

    is proposed that whatever funds may be subscribed shall be dealt with by a Committee who will dispense them to the best of their

    judgment . ' The Committee thus suggested was formed ; it consists of Mr . W . Ridley Kent , 2 : * Paternoster

    Row , Mr . S . W . Searle , St . Dunstan ' s House , Fetter Lane , Mr . J . Whitaker , 12 Warwick Lane , and Mr . Philip J . Whitaker 2 G St . Bride Street

    , , who each sent out some copies of the circular amongst their friends , and in response a sum of about £ 195 was collected .

    Unfortunately , Mr . Suttaby did not live long enough to benetit from the efforts thus made on his behalf . Lungs and heart were both affected ,

    and he generally was in such a vvc : ik state that the doctors \\\ v \ forbidden his removal . Hoping against hope ^ - an affectionate — ____ friend had sent him

    to St . Leonards _ , , in order that ho might be able to undertake the voyage . No immediate danger 4 4

    was was feared feared , , but but while while thus thus preparing oreoarinir for tor the the long lone : sea route , ' he was suddenly summoned to take a still longer — o journey j j ' , and the first payment » -ifrom

    the sum collected was for the expenses of his funeral . He leaves behind him it widow and several

    children , who are now totally destitute . The money in hand will bo devoted to their benefit , but we hope to increase the fund very

    considerably , and pledge ourselves to the careful and judicious disposal of whatever you may give . — We aredear siryouri very faithfully
