BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF CAPT. T. J. NEWBOLD, 
23RD MADRAS LIGHT INFANTRY. 
IN No. 3 of Notes and Queries issued with No. 16 of this 
Journal, information was asked for as to the life of Capt. 
NEWBOLD, tie euthorof a “ Political and Statistical Account 
of the British Settlements in the Straits of Malacca” (Murray, 
1839). Notice was obligingly taken of this by the writer 
of ‘Excerpta Orientalia” in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic 
Society for January, 1887 (Vol. xix, N.S., Part I, p. 171), and 
profiting by the reference there given, | communicated with 
the Editor of the Zimes of India published at Bombay, with 
the result that I have been courteously furnished with a copy 
of a biographical notice of the deceased officer, which ap- 
peared in the Bombay Times and Fournal of Commerce 
on June 5th, 1850. This will not be without interest to those 
who have admired and profited by the industry and accuracy 
exhibited in NEWBOLD’S work on the Straits Settlements, 
‘which, though published- nearly half a century ago, and neces- 
sarily out of date in many particulars, is still a valuable work 
of reference.—W. E. 
The late Captain Newbold, Madras Army.
