THE PASSINC OF ANOTHER PIONEER.
Mr. John Gilligan, of The Swamp, Boro (Braidwood) died at Goulburn on Monday last, after a very painful illness of several months duration. He was a native of this State, having been born in the Hawkesbury district in 1847. He was a son of Peter Gilligan, who formed a cattle station on the Weddin Mountains as far back as 1820. The passing of John Gilligan takes from the Braidwood district one of the most sterling men it has been Australia's pride to raise; for despite the fact that droughts crowded upon him and necessitated many fresh starts in life this Hawkesbury native smiled at hardship and found time to hold a helping hand to the needy. Two characteristics that made John Gilligan's name a household word in his district and in parts beyond were his honesty and hospitality. At all times he kept an open door to all in need of food and shelter, nor did he discriminate between moleskins and broadcloth in this connection; and when he gave his word no document was more binding in the performance of an obligation. The deceased pioneer knew New South Wales in the rough early days of hardship - in the days when Ben Hall, the bushranger, was an honest man and worked as a stockman on Peter Gilligan's station. John Gilligan was a keen judge and true lover of horses and was well known in the show rings around. He was also one of the best cattle judges in the countryside and bought many thousands of horned stock for himself and on account of the late Thomas Rutledge, of Carwoola, and for the late W. F. Rutledge, of Gidleigh, Bungendore. The late owner of The Swamp never used tobacco in his life and he was a total abstainer, until the medical men prescribed spirits for him during his last illness. A bright-faced, witty, genial inlander, John Gilligan was often quoted at the bush fire-side and his jokes have been household stories in the district for 20 years past. He was a true neighbor to everybody within his neighborhood; all that he could do was at the call of the folk around and everything he had was to be borrowed for the asking. The one big regret of all who knew him is that so good a man should suffer many months of pain. He leaves a widow, three daughters, and three sons, of whom our "Planets" is the youngest.

BUNGENDORE.
(From our Correspondent.)
The remains of the late Mr. John Gilligan were interred in the Catholic cemetery last Tuesday, a very large number of friends attending. The deceased had been suffering for a long time, and had been under constant medical supervision. He had been a resident of Bungendore for very many years, and was a general favourite, being of a most genial disposition.
