MAITLAND MERCURY, Tucker, Gillies and Thompson, proprietors.-This newspaper was started in 1843 by Thomas W. Tucker and Richard Jones, and subsequently became the sole property of Mr. Jones, who was afterwards M.P. for the Hunter, and Colonial Treasurer in the Cowper Ministry in 1857. In 1850 this gentleman sold out to Messrs. Tucker, Cracknell and Falls, and in 1861 Mr. Falls became sole proprietor; but on his death in 1874 the property was purchased by the present proprietors, Mr. C. Eipper being made editor. It was first published as a weekly, but is now a tri-weekly newspaper, and has the largest circulation in the colony outside Sydney. It is run on free-trade principles, with a Liberal-Conservative policy, and is mainly devoted to the pastoral and agricultural interests of the colony. In connection with its publication forty-five hands are employed

A PIONEER JOURNALIST. The late Thomas William Tucker, whose death occurred last week was one of the oldest journalists in New South Wales. Mr. Tucker was a native of Bridport, Dorsetshire, England, and was born on December, 1815. He was therefore in his 80th year at the time of his decease. He learnt the trade of printer and bookbinder, and when quite a young man came to Sydney and worked at his trade in a newspaper office. In conjunction with the late Richard Jones he started, in January, 1843, the Maitland "Mercury."The partnership was dissolved in 1846, and Mr. Tucker returned 'to Sydney, and started business as a bookseller. Not succeeding in this venture, he returned to Maitland, and rejoined the Mercury as reporter. In 1854 the paper was sold by Mr. Jones to Messrs. Tucker, Cracknell, andFalls, who carried it on under the senior partner's editorship, and from 1856 as a tri-weekly paper (it had been issued twice a week since 1846) until 1861 when Mr. Alexander Falls became sole proprietor. Mr. Tucker, who had temporarily retired from connection with the business, again joined Mr. Falls as partner, and again sold out in 1868.. After the death of Mr. Falls Mr. Tucker managed the business for Mrs. Falls, and for the trustees after that lady's death in 1873. In 1874the business was, by order of the Chief Judge in Equity, sold by auction, and purchased by Messrs. Tucker, Gillies, and Thompson. The two latter gentlemen had, with Mr. Tucker long been connected with the typographical department of the paper. Mr. Gillies, who had entered Parliament, retired from the partnership in 1894, and Mr. Christopher Eipper who had for many years been associated with the paper as reporter and latterly as editor, joined the other two proprietors as third partner, still retaining the editorship. The paper has of late been issued as a daily. For som e few years prior to his decease Mr.Tucker's mental powers had declined, and he ceased to take any part in the business. He was latterly taken to Sydney, and tended with the utmost care, but he was past all recovery. He was an honor to Australian journalism, and left his mark in the influential and admirably conducted paper with which his name was associated with few interruption for over fifty years.
