Thomas Kingsmill Abbott (c1848-1891)

Death
Mr. J. P. Abbott (Speaker of the Legislative Assembly) yesterday evening informed the Water Police-authorities that his brother, Mr Thomas Kingsmill Abbott, one of the stipendiary magistrates connected with the Water Police Court, had died on that afternoon. It appears that Mr W. E. Abbott had visited his brother, Mr T. K. Abbott, at the latter's residence, Hunter's Hill, yesterday morning, and then had left to catch a certain boat, but missing the boat he returned to his brother's house just as his brother was breathing his last. The death was very sudden, and was a great shock to his family. Mr T. K. Abbott had presided at the Balmain Police Court on Friday last after which, it is said, he walked rather quickly from Woolwich, and it is supposed be afterwards caught a chill, which ended in congestion of the lungs.
