BKO . D . M . FOLKARD , PBOV . G . BEG ., SUSSEX . A sudden affliction and rapid dissolution has removed from an extensive sphere of useful benevolence , Bro . Daniel Manthorp Foikard , of Brighton , one of the borough justices , and a man who has occupied so large a space in the government of the town and its institutions that his sudden decease will create a void which cannot but be very extensively felt . At an early hour on Thursday morning , June 17 , the deceased gentleman breathed his last ; the cause of his death being congestion of the brain , which first manifested itself on the previous Saturday . It appears
that for some little time Bro . Foikard had been slightly indisposed , though not so much as to arouse the anxiety of his family ; but on Saturday se ' nnight , on returning from his accustomed stroll in the market , manifestations of mental alienation presented themselves and gradually increased till Wednesday , when deceased appeared somewhat quieter , and it was hoped that a favourable change would ensue . The change , however , was for the worse , and he rapidly sank and died , to the exceeding grief of his wife and family . He was in his 66 th year . Into the domestic life of Bro . Foikard we may not pry , but we feel convinced that
those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance must have recognized him as the possessor of those virtues which most adorn a home . As a public man , we may speak more depidedly . Bro . Foikard was for many years a member of the local commission , and , on the passing of the charter of incorporation , was almost the only one of the opponents of the new form of government elected in the first town council . Soon afterwards he was honoured by the bestowal of the commission of peace for the borough of Brighton . Recently he retired from the council , and devoted himself exclusively to his magisterial duties , and his manner
on the bench , his attention ., kindness , and urbanity in this position , secured the approval and confidence of the public . In acts of benevolence he was particularly distinguished . He assisted readily in the development of literary societies , and the county hospital found in him an active and useful governor , possessed of the acumen necessary for the successful carrying on of such a noble institution . Other charities also found in him a valued supporter . Of his private
benevolence and charity , of course we may not speak . Bro . Foikard was also well known and respected as a member of the "Boyal Clarence Lodge . He was initiated into Masonry in that Lodge in 1828 , one month after his friend , Bro . Cordy ( the father of the Lodge ) ; thrice served the office of Worshipful Master ( in 1833 , 1838 , 1839 ) , and on the last occasion , the jubilee in 1839 , was presented with a very handsome testimonial by the Brethren .
