OBITUARY. 
We have the melancholy duty of recording the death of Mr. 
John Tindall, late of Glasgow. On the 29th of September, 
while driving a young and restive horse, he was thrown out of 
his gig, and killed instantly. He was never conscious after he 
fell, and there would appear to have been a rupture of one of 
the sinuses of the brain, as the blood flowed freely in a large 
stream, and of a dark colour, from one of the ears — the skin was 
unbroken, and there was scarcely any appearance of injury. 
Mr. Tindall obtained his diploma from the Edinburgh school 
in 1837, and immediately after commenced practice at Dun- 
robin Castle, where he remained up to the time he left for 
Glasgow, about eight years ago. 
He was universally respected in the profession, and was ap- 
pointed one of the first members of the Board of Examiners of 
the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons; and, in 1850, he 
filled the office of Vice-President. He had just completed a first- 
rate veterinary establishment in Glasgow, and has left a wife 
and child to lament his untimely loss, at the early age of forty-two.
