DIED,
On Sunday last, aged 69 years, after a short illness, The Hon. JAMES McGILL, one of the Members of his Majesty’s Executive Council for this Province, and Colonel Commandant of the 1st Battalion Montreal Militia. This venerable and respectable citizen had long and deservedly filled the most elevated stations in this community, both as a Magistrate and Representative in the Provincial Parliament, for which his long residence, his fortune, and his talents had eminently qualified him, and in the discharge of which he acquitted himself in a manner highly honorable to himself, and useful to the country.—His remains were interred this day with Military honors, and accompanied to the grave by an immense concourse of citizens, of all classes, as their last tribute of merited esteem and sincere regret.
