It need hardly be said that in an active life, extending within a decade of a century, partly in England, but the greater portion within the precincts of our colony, the late deceased gentlemen had witnessed many alternations of prosperity and depression, as well as many changes of a radical nature. The late James Eggins was born in Sussex, England, on the 24th, 1810. At the age of 29 he married, and two years later he, accompanied by his wife, stepped on board the ship Ex-Coromandel, bound for Sydney where they arrived safely. His first experience in colonial life was an overseer in charge of a band of Government men at Dungog. His next step was to join the police force of this colony, and he was stationed at Maitland. A constable s position in the early forties was not to be envied, as they were often required to do fierce battle with some of the worst characters that the world has produced. In one instance, while in pursuit of a bushranger, his life was saved by the promptness of a fellow constable, who shot the outlaw while he was in the act of levelling his rifle at Mr. Eggins. After two years service he resigned his position. He then removed to the Bolwarra estate, where he engaged in farming pursuits, remaining there about ten years, after which he came to the Manning, and finally settled on Jones Island, arriving in the year 1857 where he resided until death. He, together with R. Williams, or better known as Croki Dick were instrumental in starting the first school at Croki the teacher being Mr. A. Lobban, now District Inspector at Grafton. Mr. Eggins was twice married, and the issue was in all nineteen sons and daughters, of whom 14 are living, viz., 9 sons and 5 daughters. Of the sons three are public school teachers, one a constable at East Maitland, another in business as a store-keeper at Tumut, and the remaining four are engaged in farming and grazing pursuits. His grand-children 34 totalling the remarkable number of 143 descendants. During his earlier days deceased was a great walker, having repeatedly walked from Dungog to Maitland and back, a distance of about 50 miles, within a day; and while on the Manning he has accomplished the remarkable feat of walking to Maitland within 48 hours. He much preferred walking to riding. About 8 years ago he returned to England, but on reaching the land of his birth everything was altered to such a degree that he seemed like a stranger in a strange land, only meeting one associate of his early days. He only stayed in England about six weeks, and again returned to Australia. Deceased was a man of upright ness and honesty in all transactions as well as a strict upholder of the Sabbath day and a regular attendant of the Wesleyan Church, to which he belonged and even on the day of his last and only serious illness he was preparing for church, when he received a paralytic stroke about 10 a.m., and gradually sank until on the following Sunday week, when his earthly life was peacefully ended.
