ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. XXXV. 



Berry died on 17th September, 1873, at the age of 92, and 

 was buried beside his wife in St. Thomas' cemetery, North 

 Sydney. 



James Bowman, j.p., entered naval service as Assistant 

 Surgeon in 1806, and was appointed Surgeon in 1807. On 

 the 26th September, 1819, he took up duties as Principal 

 Surgeon at Sydney, and in 1823 married Mary, the second 

 daughter of John Macarthur of Camden, 1 and lias left many 

 descendants. He secured a large area of land at Ravens- 

 worth, in the Parishes of Liddell and Vane, County of 

 Durham, between Singleton and Muswelibrook. 



Henry Grattan Douglass, M.D., Treasurer and Secretary, 

 (1791 - 1865). As a young man he was in charge of a 

 regiment in the Peninsular War. Then he saw service in 

 the West Indies until 1812, when he returned to his native 

 Ireland. 2 He arrived in Sydney about 1821, was appointed 

 a magistrate, also Assistant Surgeon, and officer in charge 

 of the Colonial General Hospital at Parramalta in 1821. 3 

 It seems clear that as the years passed, one of the chief 

 objects of Dr. Douglass was the foundation of a University 

 at Sydney, and he discoursed on it frequently and earnestly. 

 He appears to have influenced Mr. W. O, Wentworth to 

 take the matter up, after which it was brought to fruition. 

 He was a member of the Senate of the University of 

 Sydney from 1853 to 1865, and a member of the Legislative 

 Council from 27th November, 1856 to 13th May, 1861, the 

 end of the quinquennial period which terminated the first 

 appointments.
