Requiescant in pace.

Lalor’s Report of the Killed and Wounded at the Eureka Massacre, on the morning of the memorable Third of December, 1854:—

The following lists are as complete as I can make them. The numbers are well known, but there is a want of names. I trust that the friends or acquaintances of these parties may forward particulars to The Times office, Ballaarat, to be made available in a more lengthened narrative.

10 GEORGE DONAGHEY, Muff, County Donegal, do.

      It means “ditto”.
