a Welsh Congregational- minister, was born in 1808. He studied ‘ privately for the ministry, was ordained, and for some years preached in several English counties with acceptance and success. In 1839 he was received by the Colonial Missionary Society, and was sent to Tasmania under its auspices. He not only did good work as a minister, but as a political leader he did much for Tasmania, and his stirring appeals were a strong element in the resistance that finally triumphed over the imperial government. In 1854 he became chief editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, and labored in this capacity until his death, Dec. 11, 1873. See (Lond.) Cong. Yearbook, 1875, p. 373.
