first duty is a melancholy one namely, to notice 

 the death of Colonel Hambro, which occurred so 

 suddenly in March last, causing deep and heart-felt 

 sorrow throughout the county. He was born in 

 Copenhagen in 1835. He was educated at Trinity 

 College, Cambridge, and was called to the Bar in 

 1860 at the Inner Temple. He represented Wey- 

 mouth in Parliament from 1868 to 1874, and the 

 Southern Division of the County from 1886 until 

 the time of his death. In 1877 he succeeded to 

 the Milton Estates, which had been purchased of the late Lord 

 Portarlington by his father. He was an active Magistrate, and 

 proved himself an efficient Chairman of the Committees over which 

 he was appointed. He was elected a County Councillor for the 

 Weymouth Division under the Local Government Act of 1888, 

 the duties of which office he efficiently fulfilled with the same zeal 

 and ability as when acting under the old regime. 



Mr. Henry Groves, although not a member, was a Dorset- 

 shire man and an eminent botanist, and I cannot refrain from.
