Sir Johnstone Wallace, K.B.E., D.L., J.P.

By the death of Sir Johnstone Wallace, K.B.E., D.L., J.P., of Newcastle, on 9th November last, the Institution has lost an old and valued supporter. For many years he was closely identified with the work of raising its funds. In fact his first public act was the institution of the Life-boat Saturday Fund in Newcastle. For ten years he was Deputy-Chairman of the Central Life- boat Saturday Fund Committee, and, until its work was taken over by the Institution in 1911, represented the Fund for a number of years on the Committee of Management. His Life- boat interest was only one side of an unusually varied and active career of public work. In 1914 he was Lord Mayor of Newcastle, and received his knighthood for services during the war..
