"The Late Mr. C. T. Watts.—We regret to record the death, on the 24th ult., of Mr. C. T. Watts, who was for about forty years a member of the well-known firm of Messrs. Riches and Watts, of Norwich. Mr. Watts was an engineer of great experience in flour mills, and his advice was much valued in his district. His earnestness in his work and his kindness of heart caused him to be highly esteemed alike by those for whom he acted and those he employed, and he will be much missed by a wide circle of friends."
