Another of the old settlers of Auckland has just passed away, at the age of sixty-eight, Mrs Austin, of Onehunga, who died at
her residence on Saturday last. The deceased lady and her first husband, Mr. Hill, came to Auckland over forty years ago, in company with Governor Hobson and others, and soon after became engaged in business in Shortland street, where she and her husband kept the Yew-Tree Inn, which stood where Mr Halliday's shop now stands, a property which was owned by Mrs. Austin up to the of her death. Soon after the arrival f'om Australia Mr. Hill died, leaving her with two sons and one daughter. About the year 1845, Mrs. Hill married a Mr Austin, by whom she had four sons. All of her children are still alive, and all but one are married, so that at the time of her death she had thirty grandchildren. During the past year Mrs. Austin was an intense sufferer but she bore her affliction with the most perfect resignation. By her own desire as expressed in her will, her remains were deposited in the Auckland cemetery beside those of her first husband, to which place they were followed on Sunday last by number of old settlers and friends. The Rev Dr Purchas impressively read the burial service.

THE LAND I LOVE SO WELL."
by F.W.W. No. VI. The site of the main branch of the National Bank of New Zealand in Shortlarid Street was purchased at the initial sale of city lots by Mr. Thorns Weston, who rests in St. Mark's churchyard, Epsom, and must be distinguished from Mr. T. Shailer Weston, who became a District Judge, and whose descendants are now in Taranaki, Wellington and Christchurch. Mr. Thomas Weston came in 1840 from Sydney, along with his partner, Mr. William Hobson, who, again, must be kept distinct from Captain William Hobson, our first Governor. Messrs. Weston and Hobson first settled at the Bay of Islands, as auctioneers and commission agents. On the removal of the seat of government to Auckland, they built a warehouse on their Shortland Street site, and eventually a larger office building known as the Hobson Buildings which, in turn, came down when tho National Bank acquired it a few years ago.

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS WESTON.
We regret to record in our obituary column the decease of a well-known and highlyrespected settler, Mr. Thomas Weston, of Epsom. The deceased belonged to that rapidly-thinning band of men whi witnessed and took pirfc in the earliest efforts at colonisation made in this part of .New Zealand. Mr. Weston and his partner, Mr. William Bobson, came down from Sydney together, in IS4O, and settled at the Bay of Islands, where they conducted a large auctioneering and commission agency business. On the removal of the seat of Government to Auckland, they also changed their location, purchasing the allotment in Shortland Crescent on which what are known as " Hobson's Buildings" now stand, at the first Government land sale in Auckland. Here for many years they carried on a lucrative business. Mr. Weston retired from active commercial life, in 1859, to enjoy, at Epsom, a well earned competence, the result of business Bkill, industry, and integrity. Mr. Hobson carried on the business till 1567, when he returned to England by the ship Strathnaver, dying on the passags home. Mr. Weston was a liberal supporter of his communion, and though remarkably unostentatious in his charity, yet his gifts were distributed with no stinted hand. There are some in Auckland, and ont of it, who will miss the kindly liberality of the deceased gentleman. He leaves no family, his wife having died many years ago without issue. The immediate cause of Mr. Weston's death wa3 dropsy, for which he had been tapped three times, but medical skill proved unavailing, and he passed away yesterday morniog, at an early hour, at the age of 67. The funeral will leave his late residence, Epsom, this afternoon at three o'clock. He immigrated to to Russell in 1840.^1,2
