THE LATE CAPTAIN HORSELL.—We have much regret in recording the decease of Bartholomew Horsell, Esq., of the Marsh, near Wootton Bassett, which occurred on Wednesday, at the age of 69. Until recently he appeared to recover gradually from the affliction which seized him, in October, 1869.—After much suffering, he eventually succumbed to a complication of diseases. Like his father, the late Captain Bartholomew Horsell, he may be truly said to have well fulfilled all the duties of his life. For many years he was the popular Captain of the 16th, Old Swindon, Company of Wilts Rifle Volunteers.—For a long time being Alderman, he officiated as one of the magistrates for the borough of Wootton Bassett, an office which his father also held for many years. He was the first chairman of the Swindon Chamber of Agriculture, at the inauguration of which he delivered an able address. He was ever ready to give his advice and experience, which, as he was an extensive and successful agriculturist, and well versed with the knowledge of general matters of business, was often sought. He married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late William Coleman, Esq., of an old Marlborough family. She was a lady of much ability.
