Born at Penzance, and educated at St Mary's Hospital, where he was House Surgeon, Curator to the School (Curator of the Museum), and Assistant Surgeon. He was later on attached to the Lock Hospital as House Surgeon. He was closely associated in practice with his uncle, William Coulson (qv), and assisted in the foundation of St Peter's Hospital for Stone, of which he was Senior Surgeon at the time of his death. From his distinguished uncle he inherited a large fortune, and it is much to his credit that he was devoted to his work, while it enabled him to enjoy thoroughly various forms of sport. He practised at first in St James's Place, and afterwards at 17 Harley Street. His death occurred somewhat suddenly on August 30th, 1889. He had for long suffered from chronic rhinitis and other complications, and, falling ill on August 24th, after being cauterized by Lennox Browne, he suffered intense pain, was seen by Hughlings Jackson, and was then trephined by Victor Horsley. The case is described fully in the *Lancet* (1889, ii, 527), and in the *British Medical Journal* (1889, ii, 575). At the time of his death he was Senior Surgeon at the Lock Hospital, and also Surgeon to the Inns of Court Rifle Volunteers.
