Robert Corbett Knaggs, Esq., M.R.C.S., LONDON; L.S.A., IRELAND. It is with deep regret that we announce the decease of Robert Corbett Knaggs, Esq., Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries, Ireland, which occurred at his late residence, Maibenville House, Laman-street, yesterday afternoon. Dr Knaggs had been ailing for the past six or eight months, and for some time serious apprehensions were entertained as to the state of his health, he having exhibited symptoms of fatty disease of the heart. In the latter end of April, accompanied by his son, Dr. S. T. Knaggs, he went to Sydney for the express purpose of consulting Dr. Bowker; but under care and attention, latterly the more urgent symptoms appeared somewhat abated. Yesterday he felt somewhat oppressed in his breathing, and essayed to go up town, but feeling unwell, returned home, and appeared relieved by resting. About half past 3 o clock in the afternoon, while in the act of playing with his little grand- daughter, - after placing her from off his knee he gave a couple of gasps and fell back dead in his chair. The deceased was sixty-eight years of age, having been born in January, 1809. Twenty-two years of his life he spent in Newcastle, arriving here in 1855. He was an upright honourable man, a good citizen, and bore the respect of the whole community. For several years he held the position of Coroner for the District of Newcastle, and established the well known firm of Messrs. R. C Knaggs and Co. From the latter he retired only a short time ago in favour of his son, Mr. J. R. Knaggs. He was concerned with Mr. Maxted in establishing the first newspaper published in Newcastle, and in many other important matters he took an active part. Though not what might be termed a public man, Dr. Knaggs has, during his residence in Newcastle, done much to promote the well being of its inhabitants, and his loss will be very much felt We may say that he died universally regretted, for, as a true-hearted and unostentatious gentleman, he won the esteem of the public generally and the good feeling of many warm-hearted friends His death was not expected by his relatives but he appears to have had his own forebodings as to a fatal termination of his illness, and, only a few days ago, in course of conversation, expressed a desire that his funeral obsequies should be conducted with- out ostentation, and that the displays usually made at funerals should be dispensed with. General sympathy is felt for the family
