GOODALL, Andrew Melville Died 26 November 1904
November 16.— Mr. Andrew Melville Goodall was found dead in bed on Tuesday morning by his little grandson, who went in to say good-bye before going to school. The deceased had appeared in rather better health than usual on Monday, and the end was quite unexpected. Mr. Goodall was 71 years of age, and was a colonist of 63 years' standing. He arrived in this colony in the Rajasthan in 1836, when only 8 years of age. About 50 years ago he started farming on the Para Hills, and remained there till his death, but of late years the active management of the farm has devolved upon his youngest son, Mr. Thomas Goodall. The deceased will probably be remembered most for his long and very active connection with the Loyal Wellington Lodge. Adelaide district, I.O.O.S., M.U. He took a great interest in lodge matters, and being a very energetic man he carried out the duties of the various offices which he had filled throughout his long career with vigor and credit. For some years he had been a director and trustee of the lodge, and regularly attended the board's meetings in Adelaide right up to the time of his death, he leaves three sons and one daughter, all of whom are married.

MAJOR O'HALLORAN. Our obituary notice contains a record of the death of another old colonist— Major Thomas ShuldhamO'Halloran, of Lizard Lodge, O'Halloran Hill—who died on Tuesday morning, 16th August. He was the second and eldest surviving son of Major-General Sir Joseph O'Halloran, G.C.B., Bengal Army. He was born at Berhampore, in the East Indies, on 25th October, 1797 ; was a cadet at the Royal Military College, Marlow, in 1808; appointed Ensign in the Royal West Middlesex Militia, 1809. In 1812, the College and students were removed from Marlow to Sandhurst. In 1813, he was gazetted an Ensign in the 17th Foot, and joined his regiment in 1814. Served with it daring the whole of the Nepaul War during the years 1814, '15, and '16. In 1817, received his Lieutenancy on 28th June, and served during the Deccan War in 1817 and 1818. Was married on 1st August, 1821, to Miss Ann Goss, of Dawlish, who died in 1823, in Calcutta, leaving two children, of whom one died in India. In 1822 exchanged from the 17th to the 44th Regiment, which he joined in Calcutta in January, 1823. In 1824 was ordered with left wing of the 44th to Chittagong, where he arrived early in June, and was appointed Paymaster, Quartermaster, and Interpreter. On the 30th October was appointed Brigade-Major to Brigadier-General Dunkin, C.B., who commanded the Sylket division of the army during the Burmese war, and served on his staff until his death in November, 1825. He received a medal for war service in India for Nepaul and Ava. On 27th April, 1827, purchased his company in the 99th Regiment. Exchanged into the 56th Regiment in 1828. In 1829 exchanged into the 6th Regiment, and joined bis father as A.D.C., at Sangur, in Central India. From June, 1830, to January, 1831, served as Deputy Assistant Quartermaster- General at Sangor. In 1834 married to Miss Jane Waring, of Newry. Retired on half-pay in October. In 1837 was placed on full-pay as Captain in the 97th Begiment. In that year was sent in command of two companies of his regiment and a troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards to quell the riots in Yorkshire. In 1838 retired from the army by the sale of his commission; sailed for South Australia same year in the Rajahsthan, and landed at Glenelg on 21st November, 1839; settled with his family at O'Halloran Hill. On 2nd February was nominated a Justice of the Peace. In 1840 was gazetted Major-Commandant of the South Australian Militia on 26th February, and on 8th June as Commissioner of Police. It will be remembered by old colonists that in 1840, when the Maria was wrecked at Lacepede Bay, and the crew were murdered by the blacks, Major' O'Halloran went down to investigate the matter. He was joined on the road by Mr. C. Bonney and another gentleman, who accompanied him unofficially. The result of the investigation was, that the Major hanged two or three of the natives. This proceeding was very severely condemned by a number of colonists, who made very strong representations upon the subject to both the local and home Governments. The result, however, showed that whatever opinions might be entertained respecting the abstract propriety of the summary measures adopted by the gallant Major, they were in reality the wisest and most merciful for both races. No organised attack was ever afterwards made upon Europeans by the natives in that part of the colony. From Adelaide up the Coorong to beyond the Salt Creek, the aborigines were impressed with a sense of the irresistible power of the white man, and the certainty that acts of violence against him would meet with exemplary punishment. On the 17th August of the same year he was sent in command of an expedition against the Milmanura (or Big Murray) blacks. On the 21st April, 1841, he commanded an expedition against the River Murray and Rufus aborigines . On the 31st May he was again sent against the same tribes. On the 7th November he was in command of an expedition to Port Lincoln against the Battara aborigines . On 12th April, 1843, he resigned his appointment as Commissioner of Police. While at the head of the police force he maintained it in a very high state of efficiency ; and, though a rigid disciplinarian, was much liked and highly respected by his subordinate officers and men, a number of whom are still in the colony, and still speak in the most eulogistic terms of their old commander. On his retirement he was presented with a, silver snuffbox by the mounted force, and with an address from the officers and men of the foot police. On the 15th June, of the same year, he was nominated senior non-official member of the old nominee Council, and continued in that position for eight years, till we obtained our first instalment of representative government. As a nominee Councillor Major O'Halloran deserved well of the people, being continually in opposition to some of the obnoxious measures of the Government, the most notable instance being upon the question of the royalties upon minerals, that the Government was endeavoring to impose. The Constitution of that day was beautifully simple. On many questions the Legislative Chamber was certain to be equally divided, the Governor and his three officials voting on one side, and the four non-officials on the other, and then Her Majesty's representative gave his casting vote, and the matter was settled. After this fashion the obnoxious royalties were about to become law, a division being called for ; but it required five members to make a quorum, and Major O'Halloran, Sir John Morphett, and the two other non-official nominees walking out, left the Government baffled and defeated. Another great question in which the Major took a prominent part was that of State aid to religion, his vote and advocacy being used on the unpopular side. This cost him his election in 1851, when the mixed Constitution was proclaimed. He stood for his own district, Noarlunga, but, though personally held in the highest esteem by the electors, he was, after an earnest struggle, defeated by Mr. Wm. Peacock, a stranger to the district, by a majority of 42 votes. On the 17th July he was entertained at a public dinner by his supporters at Morphett Vale, and on the 29th at Willunga. In 1855 he opposed Mr. Reynolds for the Sturt, but was again unsuccessful. During the same year he was offered a nomineeship in the Council by Sir Richard MacDonnell, but declined. About the close of the previous year he was gazetted a, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Volunteer Military Force. When our present Constitution was granted, it was a general feeling that Major O'Halloran was a most proper candidate for the Legislative Council, and at the first election, in March, 1857, he was returned at the head of the poll against 27 candidates, the votes recorded for him amounting to 3,499. In 1862 he resigned his commission as Justice of the Peace, in consequence of his strong disapproval of some of tho magisterial appointments made by the Government. In 1863 he resigned his seat in the Legislative Council, having occupied it for six years. Since then he has lived in retirement, rarely taking part in public matters. Major O'Halloran was the principal founder and supporter of Christchurch, O'Halloran Hill; also one of the original Governors of St. Peter's Collegiate School. He leaves issue by his first marriage a daughter (Ann) married to Captain Disney Roebuck, late of the 23rd Fusileers. By his second marriage he leaves three sons, Mr. Thomas O'Halloran, Manager of the National Bank, at Strathalbyn Mr. Henry O'Halloran, also in the Bank and Mr. George O'Halloran of the Land Office, who is at the present time suffering from ill-health and a daughter married to Mr. F. Wright, late General Manager of the National Bank. The deceased Major was in his 73rd year. The news of his death will be received with regret by many colonists, especially among the early settlers, who respected him as an upright and high-minded gentleman of the old school.
