The deceased, Mr. Charles Dundas, was but 28 years of age, and his only son, a little boy, succeeds to the estate. On Monday morning, there was a funeral service at All Saints' Church, Clifton, commencing at the somewhat early hour of half-past nine, conducted by the Hon. and Rev. A. Hanbury-Tracy, who, with the choir, met the corpse at the western entrance to the church. The mourners were the widow, with the heir, Master Charles Dundas, and the eldest daughter, Miss Florence Dundas ; his mother ; and cousin, Mrs. Kidston. At the conclusion of the service, which was full choral, there was a celebration of the Holy Communion. The body was subsequently conveyed by Great Western Railway to Kintbury.

The Funeral at Kintbury - Within the short space of two years and one month after the obsequies of the late lamented Vicar of Kintbury, the Rev. James W. Deans Dundas, the family vault was re-opened on Tuesday, to receive the mortal remains of his nephew and heir, Mr. Charles Dundas. The corpse reached Kintbury by rail at 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, and was met at the station by the estate steward, Mr. Thomas Owen, and Mr C. Leroux.' the latter an old and faithful servant of the family, who accompanied Admiral Dundas through the exciting engagements which took place in the Black Sea and elsewhere. The body was borne from thence to the parish church on the shoulders of several labourers in Mr. Owen's employ, where it was received by the Vicar (Rev. J. F. Campbell) and placed upon a bier in the nave, being covered by a rich velvet pall, of violet colour, with a cross of red velvet; over this was laid a beautiful floral cross, sent from Clifton by the deceased's mother, (the widow of Capt. Charles Dundas, who was the Admiral's eldest son). The brass plate on the coffin bore the following inscription:

" Jesu Mercy. Charles Amesbury Whitley Deans Dundas, Died September 9th, 1874, Aged 28 years."

Wax candles were lighted on either side of the coffin, and kept burning throughout the night. Shortly before 10 o'clock the relatives, friends, and tenantry, assembled at the residence of Mr. William Heath, and walked to the churchyard entrance in the following order ”The widow and mother of deceased, between whom was the only son and heir, about six years of age ; Miss Florence Dundas, the eldest of the two daughters of the deceased; Mrs. J. P. Kidston ; Mr. N. T. Lawrence, the family solicitor; Mr. Charles Howard, Mr. Charles Leroux, Mr Thomas Owen, Mr. Oliver Owen, and the tenantry ”Messrs. Wright, Romaine, Stephen White, Ash by and Truman. The corpse was brought from the church to the entrance gate of the burial ground, and it was then followed by the mourners into the sacred edifice, the Vicar reading the opening sentences of the Burial service, the church was thronged with people of all masses, and among those who occupied seats were General Butler, Mrs C. Howard, Mr. Grigg of Bristol, Mr. Sterling of Bath, and others who had been more or less associated with the deceased gentleman. The service was choral, the singing being conducted by the curate (Rev. A. W. H. Edwards who presided at the organ, and played the Dead March in Saul, as the corpse was borne for the last time out of the church. Many were the tears shed over the open vault, into which the coffin was carefully lowered, the choir singing hymn 163, " When our heads are bowed with Woe. ' The 142nd hymn " Brief life Is here our portion, was also sung, and the widow and other chief mourners descended the vault and deposited immortelles and flowers upon the coffin. Thus closed the obsequies of the young lord of the manor, who had for so brief a period enjoyed the possession of an estate capable of affording an the pleasures a country gentleman could possibly desire. We learn that Mr. Dundas had been suffering from consumption for some months, and that he died somewhat unexpectedly on Wednesday week. The management of the estate is vested in trustees, and Mr. Owen, of Clapton, will continue to act as steward.
