4th April, 1883. THE LATE REV. G.C. DUNDAS. The remains of the Rev. G. C. Dundas, the late vicar of St. Matthew's Church, Nottingham, were interred on Saturday afternoon in the Church Cemetery, in the presence of a large assemblage of people, and amid manifestations of respect and regret. A large congregation gathered in St. Matthew's Church at a quarter-past one o'clock, where a portion of the burial service was read. The coffin was of polished oak with brass mountings, the shield bearing the inscription, "George Charles Dundas, vicar of St. Matthew's. Died April 18th, 1883. Aged 69." It was carried from the vicarage and deposited in the chancel of the church by six of the sidesmen, namely—Messrs. Webster, Marsh, Stephenson, Kenning, Harriman, and Bearder. The service having been read by the Rev. C. Veld, the Rev. J. F. McCallan, and the Rev. M. F. Short, an imposing procession was formed and moved by way of Alfreton-road and Forest-road to the cemetery, which was thronged with persons. The first carriage contained Lieutenant Dundas, R.N., Mrs. Rider and Mrs. Minchin ; the second carriage, the Rev. Charles Dundas, the Rev. T. J. Rider, Miss Nelly Dundas, and Miss Hunt; while Mr. Laurence and Mr. Young were in another carriage. Mr. J. Lambert and Dr. Euan Smith also followed in their private carriages and nearly all the clergy of Nottingham and its immediate district were present. St, Matthew's choir sang a processional hymn from the entrance of the cemetery to the graveside, where the Rev. T. J. Rider, and the Rev, C. Veld concluded the impressive service commenced in the church. Many chaste and beautiful wreaths, mostly from members of the congregation, were deposited on the coffin. A correspondent sends us the following memoir of the deceased clergyman : —By the death of the Rev. George Dundas, vicar of St. Matthew's Church, Nottingham has lost the ministrations of its oldest incumbent. For nearly thirty years he had laboured at St. Matthew's with a faithfulness and diligence that nothing could impair.
