Note 448 — 1843.

Mr. James Dawson, foreman of masons, formerly colour-sergeant in the corps, also died during the fever. He was a clever tradesman and overseer, and while in the sappers did good service at St. Helena, Corfu, and Bermuda. He was succeeded as foreman by sergeant John McKean, who was discharged in November, 1843, and still fills the appointment with ability and faithfulness.
