Entry  At Madras, on the 15th of August, Lieut. Colonel Edward Lloyd Smythe, of the Madras cavalry. After 36 years' residence in India he had revisited his native land in 1836, to comfort an aged mother and two beloved sisters, and was just returned to renew his military services in the hope of obtaining higher rank within a few years, and then retiring to spend his last days in the bosom of his family, but he was carried off, after a short illness, by the rapid progress of dysentery. He had witnessed the successes of the British arms in India for many years, having served at the battle of Assaye under the Duke of Wellington, then Sir Arthur Wellesley. He was descended from an ancient family at North Nibley, in the county of Gloucester. He was an excellent officer, an affectionate relative and friend, a highly talented man and a sincere Christian.
