 | Surname | Syer | | | First name | William | | | Title | Sir | | | Year | 1802 | | | Month | October | | | Location | Bombay  | | | Volume | 11 | | | Page No | 156/157 | | | Full Text | At Bombay, Sir W Syer, KNT. Recorder. In announcing the loss of this truly excellent and respectable character, it is but justice to express the general sense and high estimation of his peculiar virtues and merits. As a man, Sir William Syer has ever been distinguished for real worth and the truest principles of philanthropy and universal benevolence. His hospitable mansion was open to all, and in the mild and polished manners of its owner, the stranger as well as friend were welcomed with affability, dignity, and ease. Fortune leading him to a matrimonial connexion in this country, the same principles and the same virtues combined to exemplify in him the effectionate husband and fond father. His private and moral character served to adorn the high office he was called upon to execute, and he closed a bright career in firm adherence to that religion which so eminently enlightened, guided, and marked the practice of his life. In his professional capacity his loss is equally to be deplored. The abilities of the judge were here equally conspicuous with the private virtues of the man. Laborious and indefatigable in his researches for truth; quick and penetrating in discernmant; clear and perspicuous in his exposition of facts; lenient in punishment, and of integrity incorruptible. His official conduct, whilst it is remembered must ever meet with the most general reverence and esteem, and his name and memory be respected for the fairness of his descisions, and his strict and never failing solicitude for the administration of justice in the department over which he presided. An amiable wife, with two infant children, are left to bewail his untimely death, and though her affliction be now proportional to her loss, it may be some consolation to her to know that her respected partner carries with him the feeling of regret of that society of which he was but lately so useful a member and distinguished an ornament. |
