 developed into the Illustrated Australian News. Commencing his career as a theatrical manager in 1862, he claims to be the first manager who ever took an artistic company to Japan, to Simla in the Himalayas, and across the Orange River in South Africa. His first tour with "professionals," the longest on record, lasted from May 1863 to Oct. 1868; when he returned to England, where he lived for about a year, contributing occasionally to the Cornhill Magazine and the Pall Mall Gazette. In 1869 he returned to Australia with Daniel E. Bandmann, the tragedian. For the next three years he managed various musical and theatrical companies, until in 1872 he was appointed director of the concerts given at the exhibition held in Melbourne in connection with the Victorian International Exhibition. In 1873, the popular entrepreneur discovered Miss M. E. Christian, a gifted contralto, trained in the Royal Academy of Music, London, whose interests he never ceased to promote for eighteen years; he also organised the tour of Madame Arabella Goddard, the English pianiste. In the following year he introduced the Rev. Charles Clark, the former minister of Broadmead Chapel at Bristol, as a popular lecturer in Australia. Having travelled with Mr. Clark for more than five years in Australia, America, and Africa, Mr. Smythe saw that the lecture-platform was a popular institution at the Antipodes, and his ambition since 1879, when he again visited the old country, has been to "run" celebrities. Beginning with the lamented Richard Anthony Proctor, the astronomer, he has since directed the Australian tours of Archibald Forbes, the war-correspondent, George Augustus Sala, Charles Santley the eminent baritone, and other notabilities; while more recently the great explorer, H. M. Stanley, and Max O'Rell lectured through Australasia under his management. At Nagasiak in Japan, in 1863, Mr. Smythe married Miss Amelia Bailey, the accomplished soprano of the concert company with whom he was then travelling.

Solly, Benjamin Travers, J. P., arrived in South Australia from England in 1840, and joined the Government service in 1850, went to Tasmania in 1855, and was appointed private secretary to Governor Sir in February of that year. In Oct. 1857 he accepted the appointment of Under-Secretary, and still holds that office. In 1883 he was made a magistrate of the Territory.

Spain, William, was appointed by Lord John Russell as commissioner to examine the land claims of the New Zealand Company in that colony. On the way out he was wrecked along with Surveyor-General (q.v.) at the Cape of Good Hope. The Governor, Sir G. Napier, sent them on in the Antilla, in which Mr. Spain reached Wellington on Dec. 24th, 1841, his arrival being welcomed by the natives "as a means of terminating their disputes" with the Company. Colonel Wakefield appealed to the home Government against Mr. Spain's jurisdiction, but to no effect; the Government declaring its intention of abiding by its commissioner's decisions. Mr. Spain found many difficulties put in his path, and was a long time engaged upon his complicated work. In the meantime the Wairau massacre occurred, concerning which the commissioner wrote: "I have arrived at the conclusion that the conduct of the Company's agents in forcing a survey of the Wairau can only be regarded as an attempt to set British law at defiance, and to obtain possession of a tract of land the title to which was disputed, and at the very time under the consideration of a commissioner specially appointed to report upon it." Mr. Spain subsequently had an interview with Rauparaha, the leader in the massacre. On June 12th, 1844, he delivered his award in regard to the purchase of land at Waitara in Taranaki. This he decided had been a legitimate purchase by Captain Hobson from the Waikato chiefs, and be therefore awarded the New Zealand Company a Crown grant of 60,000 acres. But the decision was much objected to by the Ngatiawa tribe, who claimed that the land was in reality theirs, and had only been conquered by the Waikatos, who, since they did not occupy, were in their Maori law not possessors. The clamour raised about this point was so great that Governor, fearing bloodshed, set aside the award, only giving the Company 3,500 acres. This caused great discontent among the Europeans, and even Mr. Spain was mortified that one of the few awards he had been able to make in favour of the 426

 charities, such as the Melbourne Hospital, the Benevolent and Orphan Asylums, and others. He was an advocate for reducing the hours of labour, and contributed to the adoption of the eight hours system. Mr. Smith died in 1878.

Smith, Joseph Henry, is the eldest son of the late Joseph Valentine Smith, of Walsall, co. Stafford, and was born on August 13th, 1843. He had large experience of railway management in England, and when it was decided to place the control of the South Australian State railways in non-political hands, he was selected as the first chairman of the newly constituted Railway Board of Commissioners. Mr. Smith married on Oct. 22nd, 1869, Lydia, daughter of R. Christian, of Barrow, Rutland.

Smith, Hon. Louis Lawrence, M.L.A., L.S.A. (Lond.), is the son of the late E. T. Smith, one of the most remarkable entrepreneurs of recent times and formerly lessee of Cremorne and Her Majesty's Theatre. He was born in London in 1830, and educated at St. Saviour's Grammar School and at the Ecole de Médecine at Paris, where in 1848 he had some exciting adventures during the revolution which deposed Louis Philippe. Subsequently Mr. Smith studied medicine in London, where he won honours at the Westminster Hospital, and having taken his diploma and practised for a while in London, emigrated to Victoria, where, after a brief experience on the goldfields, he settled down to practice in Melbourne. In 1859 he was asked to stand for the Assembly for South Bourke in the Liberal interest, and having consented, was returned and several times re-elected. Incensed by some remarks from one of the Ministry of the day which he regarded as personally insulting, Mr. Smith boxed his assailant's ears, and immediately resigning his seat, was promptly re-elected, despite his breach of the decorum of Parliament. Having opposed the Darling grant, he was defeated for South Bourke, and became member for Richmond, where he experienced a like fate through his hostility to Mr. Francis's scheme for reforming Parliament on the lines of the Norwegian Constitution. In May 1877 he was elected for Richmond at the head of the poll as an adherent of the Government. More recently he has represented Mornington, for which he was re-elected in April 1892. Mr. Smith has been prominent for many years past as a supporter of the turf and a promoter of exhibitions, and has devoted a large amount of time and attention to the exploitation of the trade in colonial wines. From July 1881 to March 1883 Mr. Smith was a member of the Ministry, but without portfolio.

Smith, Captain M. S., formerly Superintendent of Land Police, Western Australia, served in the 44th Foot from June 6th, 1854, till June 22nd, 1867. He was engaged in the Crimea from Christmas Day, 1854, till the withdrawal of the troops in 1856, including the attack on the cemetery and the siege of Sebastopol (medal and clasp and Turkish medal), and in the China war of 1860, including the action at Sinho and the attack and capture of the Taku. He was appointed Superintendent of Police in Western Australia, and retained the post till his death, on April 18th, 1887.

Smith, Hon. Robert Burdett, C.M.G., M.L.C., was born in Sydney in 1842; was admitted a solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1863, and practises in Sydney. He was at one time president of the Australian Patriotic Association, and was secretary to the committee of the Captain Cook Memorial Fund. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly for the Hastings and Macleay electorates from 1870 to 1889, when he was nominated to the Legislative Council. Mr. Smith was a Commissioner for New South Wales at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in 1886, and was Executive Commissioner for that colony at the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition of 1888. In 1890 he was created C.M.G.

Smith, Robert Murray, C.M.G., M.A., sometime Agent-General for Victoria, is the son of the late Alexander Smith, of Liverpool, and was born in 1831. He was educated at Repton School and at Oriel College, Oxford, of which he became scholar, but relinquished the further prosecution of a university course, owing to family reasons rendering it desirable for him to go into commerce. In 1883, however, the University conferred on him the honorary degree of M.A. Having emigrated to Victoria in 1854, he took 423
