Biographical Notes

April 12th, 1902.

The Late Mr. J. L. Hedley.

The President (Mr. J. G. Weeks) said that, since the last meeting, they had lost by death one of their Vice-Presidents, Mr. J. L. Hedley, H. M. inspector of mines for the Newcastle-upon-Tyne mines inspection district. The members would admit that no one could have discharged the delicate duties of his office with greater firmness and judgment than the late Mr. Hedley had done. In addition to his duties as one of H.M. inspectors of mines he took great interest in the business of the Institute ; he had been for many years a member of the Council, and in later years a Vice-President ; and his death was a very great loss to them in their deliberations. He (the President) moved that a vote of condolence be addressed to Mrs. Hedley expressing their great regret for her husband's death and conveying their condolence and sympathy with her in her bereavement.

Mr. T. W. Benson, in seconding the vote of condolence, said that during the time Mr. Hedley was in charge of the Newcastle district he had endeared himself to all with whom he was brought into contact. He did his work most thoroughly, and yet he never interfered capriciously or unnecessarily with colliery managers in the discharge of their duties.

The vote of condolence was unanimously adopted.
