Arthur Davies Webb

handle is hein.journals/soaf30 and id is 155 raw text is: SOUTH AFRICAN LAW JOURNAL. 0 A RTHUR DAVIES WEBB. The late Arthur Davies Webb, whose death at Bulawayo was referred to in our November number, was an attorney of whom any community might be proud, and a brief reference to the honourable record- of one of our oldest readers cannot fail to be of interest. He was born at Peddie, in the Cape Colony, in 1848, the son of the late Commandant F.C. Webb, of that town. He was educated at King Williamstown, and was admitted as an attorney and notary public in 1870. His certificate, dated June, 1870, granted by the old Board of Examiners, is an interesting document, being signed by Wil- liam Porter, A.-G., as Examiner in Law and Jurisprudence, by Sir Langhain Dale, Edward Judge and G. Ogilvie as Examiners in Literature, and by George F. Childs as Examiner in Science. He commenced practice at Queenstown where he remained till June, 1897. During this time Mr. Webb took a prominent part in the public life of his town, as a keen athlete and supporter of every branch of athletics, as a volunteer and as a politican. He held no fewer than twenty-three offices, ranging from president of tennis, cricket and football clubs, to president of the local branch of the South African League. As a volunteer he followed in his father's footsteps, rising to the rank of captain. He took part in two native wars, the Galekaland and Moirosi's Mountain Campaigns, for which he received two medals. In 1873 he married the daughter of Air. H. Bertram, of the Queenstown district. His admiration for the late Mr. Rhodes led him to Bula- wayo in 1897, whither his two elder sons had preceded him, and there he began a new practice. There he lived with his family and praztised his profession in partnership with his s.A.L.J. '11. B
