Obituary.
136.—The Council record with much regret the death of Mr.
Benjamin Weir, who was for 24 years a Member of
the Wandsworth District Board of Works and for
eight years Chairman of that Board; and of Mr. James Craik, one of
the first-elected Councillors for the Putney Ward. The late Mr.
Weir gave stocks, funds, and other property (amounting to about
£100,000) to be held upon trust for a dispensary, cottage hospital,
convalescent home, or other medical charity, for the benefit of the
inhabitants of Streatham and the neighbourhood, and provided that
the trust should be administered by a Committee consisting of
three trustees appointed by his will, three persons to be nominated
every year by the Vestry of Streatham, and not more than three
persons to be co-opted. The Council, as successors to the Streatham
Vestry, appointed Alderman Dickinson and Councillors
Penfold and Welton, Members of the Committee.
