MATRON THROSBY.

ROSE HALL, the very imposing white mansion on the hill in Forbes Street, has had numerous occupants since its erection on a Government grant of land (subsequently revoked in favor of Mr. A. Hallen, Government Architect) to Mr. William Cordeaux in 1838. No occupant, however, has invested the old building with the same public importance that the Red Cross Society of New South Wales has given to it by its merciful mission to help the returned Diggers who were crippled in the war, as well as their dependents.

After a devoted service of seven years at Rose Hall, Matron Throsby, who descends from the Throsby family of the Macquarie period and founded by Mr. Charles Throsby, Government Medical Officer at Castle Hill in 1802, has resigned the position, much to the regret of the visiting public, the officials, the working staff, and the Digger inmates. At the last monthly social gathering in the hall, occasion was taken by all these friends and well-wishers to say good-bye to the matron, who carried away several mementoes and testimonials on her departure.

The retiring matron has, like her beloved Digger patients, to her a credit a worthy service at the historical carnage of 1914-1918.
