BRO . THOMAS LITTLEDALE . On Tuesday , the 26 th ult ., a painful feeling ivas excited ou the Liverpool 'Change by the receipt of a telegram announcing that ore the previous evening Bro . Thomas Littledale , of that town , died suddenly from the rupture of a blood vessel . AA ' e have been informed that Bro . Littledale , who was an ardent admirer of aquatic sports , left Liverpool on the Friday for the purpose of witnessing the great
boat race on the Thames between Oxford and Cambridge . So far as we can learn , nothing more was heard of him by his business friends until the receipt of the despatch announcing his death .. It appears that about two months ago the deceased was indisposed , and his medical man then informed him tint as he was suffering from disease of the heart he must avoid all excitement . Tho deceased was staying at a friend's house in London , his intention being to consult a medical practitioner in reference to the maladunder
y which he had been for some time suffering . On the Monday afternoon he took dinner , and shortly afterwards , while washing his hands in the dressing room , became suddenly ill . A few minutes only elapsed , when he sank clown and expired . The deceased , who filled the office of Mayor in 1 S 51-2 , was the eldest son of the late Mr . Thomas Littledale , of Highfield House , who was Mayor of Liverpool in 1826 , ancl the late Mr . Alderman Edmund Molyneux , of Cbildwall Abbey , was his uncle . He was a
partner in the eminent linn of T . and H . Liddledale and Co ., but did not take a very active part in the business of that concern . In the year 1845 , when only a young man , he was chosen as one of the representatives for Exchange ward , and he continued to hold that
oflice up to the period of his death . In 1848 he was elected chairman of the Dock Committee . He continued to preside over the Dock Board until his elevation to the civic chair in 1851 . In 1850 he was first put in nomination for the mayoralty , but Sir John Bent was elected by a majority of ten votes . Next year there was no opposition to the appointment of Bro . Liddledale lis chief magistrate , and he was probably the youngest man that has officiated as mayor of that important borough during the last century . The assize courts
were opened for the first time iu St . George ' s Hall soon after he ivas appointed to the civic chair , mid on that occasion he gave a dejeuner to the judges ancl Queen ' s counsel , at which were present the aldermen and councillors and a numerous bevy of ladies . During her husband ' s year of office Mrs . Littledale gave birth to a son , and in accordance with local custom that lady was presented with a magnificent silver cradle to commemorate the event . As an officer
ofthe 2 nd Royal Lancashire Militia he devoted much time to his military duties . For a number of years he has been commodore of the Mersey Yacht Club , ancl it will be recollected that during one of the cruises in his yacht he was the means of rescuing a number of emigrants from the burning wreck of the Ocean Monarch . His generous gallantry on that occasion was universally appreciated . Bro . Littledale was initiated in the St . George ' s Lod ( No . 35 )
ge , Liverpool , in which lodge he served the office of AV . M . He was exalted to the R . A . degree in the Jerusalem Chapter ( No . 35 ) , Liverpool , and passed through the several chairs . Bro . Littledale was at the time of bis death S . Prov . G . W . for AVest Lancashire .. He took tho degrees of Rose Croix and the Royal Order in Scotland ..
