DEATHS.
MALING.—On the 23rd December, at Brisbane, George Whitelock, the infant son of Irwin Charles Maling, Esq., H.M. 35th Regiment.
A child's grave bears the name of Irwin Maling, who was a military captain connected with a
DETACHMENT OF THE 50TH REGIMENT
which bore the name of "the dirty half-hundred,” a name said to have been acquired by their severe economies in personal expenditure, especially where ladies were concerned.
We omitted to mention that Irwin Maling, of the last chapter, was the Captain Maling who was private secretary to Lord Normanby. He was brother-in-law of General English, of the 53rd. Regiment, the "Shropshire Dashers." English married Maling's sister.
