To the Editor of the Standard.
Sir, I was surprised to read in yesterday's Standard that my brother, Mr Stanley Alexander Julius, a medical student, who has been residing in Cornwall for the last month, was fined L5 and 10s, damages by Mr Vaughan at the Bow Street Police Court, for wrenching off bell pulls and street door knockers. I have since made enquiries about the charge, and with the assistance of Police Constable 145 E, who was concerned in the affair find that the person who committed the offence, and was therefore fined, is a fellow student of my brothers, and that he was cowardly enough to give my brother's name.
By your giving publicity to the above facts you will greatly oblige.
Yours obediently,
Ashley A Julius.

Death of Surgeon Major Julius.
It is with deep regret that we announced the death of Surgeon Major Julius, at the comparatively early age of 42. For 18 years the deceased gentleman had laboured amongst us, and during that period he won the love and esteem of a vast number, and all who came in contact with him spoke in the highest terms of his frank manner, open generous heart, and his singular kindness to all. He was in touch with hundreds of young men, and every one, without exception, spoke well of him. When Mr Julius came to Hastings he acted as successor to the late Mr J C Savery, taking the practice of that gentleman in York buildings, and subsequently moving to Cornwallis Gardens's. He had been in Hastings but a short time when he was unanimously elected medical officer to the Hastings Court of Foresters, a post he held up to the time of his death, and one which he faithfully attended to in every detail, and there was just as much time devoted by the late gentleman to a poor Forester as there was to a rich patient. It is said by some that the considerateness of the Medical Officer not only drew many members to the Court but as a natural consequence was in no small way conducive to the great prosperity which it enjoys today. Mr Julius also succeeded Mr Savery as Medical Officer to the 1^st Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers, ranking as Surgeon Major. Here again the men were loud in the praise of the "Doctor" as he was called, who never thought a recruit to low in the scale to now and then speak a word of encouragement to him. In addition to these offices, he acted with his brother Volunteer, Surgeon Marshall, as lecturer of the Hastings branch of the St John Ambulance Society, and his work was of much value to all.
As the Admiralty Surgeon to the local Coastguards he faithfully attended to his duties as medical examiner of recruits. Mr Stanley A Julius was born at Stanley Lodge, Mortlake, in Surrey, his father having Chambers at Lincolns Inn Fields. He was the second son of Alfred Alexander Julius, and his grandfather was the court physician to his Majesty King George IV. This gentleman was well known in Hastings, as he lived for a long time at Maze Hill House, and was, at his death, buried in the graveyard attached to Hollington Church in the Wood. The deceased was educated at Blackheath, under the watchful eye of the Rev T Matheson and afterwards removed to Kings College London. He married in 1873 Genette (sic), the youngest daughter of Mr Thomas Hall Fisher, banker, of Cambridge, the ceremony being performed in the church situate in the grounds of the brides sisters house. Before the marriage Mrs Julius was related to Mr Julius through a sister marrying a first cousin of that gentleman. The mother of the late Surgeon Major was the daughter of Brigadier General Alexander, and on referring back, we find that this lady is a direct descendant of Aubery De Vere, thirtieth (sic) (actually 20th Earl) and last Earl of Oxford, and hence being directly descended from Oliver Cromwell.
It will be remembered that, during the great gale, a week or two ago, the late gentleman was down at Bopsep on the day of the storm, rendering every assistance, both medical and physical, and while at this work contracted a cold, which, although it did not prevent him continuing his active employment, still worked in his system, and on Sunday fits of fainting attacked him, as well as gastric haemorrhage. Feeling better he was at work again on Tuesday, but at twelve o'clock on that day he was brought home seriously ill, and he quietly passed away on Wednesday, at twelve.
He leaves besides the widow, a son, aged 17 (Stanley De Vere Alex), and a daughter, aged 16 (Muriel). We beg to offer Mrs Julius and the family our deep sympathy in the terrible bereavement which has so suddenly come upon them, and can assure them that the town generally echoes our sentiments. So far as the family are concerned, the funeral will be very quiet, but the local Volunteer Forces and the Foresters will follow.
The order of procession will be as follows:
The Firing Party of the 1^st Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers.
The Band of the 1^st Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers.
The Hearse with Pall Bearers.
The Chief Mourners.
The Horse of the Deceased.
A Mourning Carriage.
Privates of the Cinque Ports Rifles.
Gunners of the Cinque Ports Artillery.
The Naval Artillery Volunteers.
The Yeomanry.
Coastguards.
Non-Commissioned Officers of the above Corps according to Rank.
Juniors in Front.
Officers of the above, according to rank.
Bodies of Civilians.
Carriages.

The procession will leave the house at 2 pm for the cemetery, by way of Cambridge Road, Marine Parade, High Street, and London Road, and we are asked to state that the Foresters will meet at the Clarence Hotel, at 1.30, Mr C Vidler of Stonefield Road is the undertaker.
We may add that Dr Marshall, a close and intimate friend as well as brother officer of the deceased, who has attended him during his illness, and who it need hardly be said, has gained not a little popularity in this town, both by his geniality and his skill as a practitioner, has undertaken to carry on the practice for the present for the benefit of the widow and family.
At the last moment we are informed that the late Adjutant Major Cafe, who is now staying at Brighton, will attend the funeral today (Saturday).

Funeral Of Surgeon Major Julius.
The funeral of this respected officer of the 1st CPRV, took place on Saturday afternoon at the borough cemetery with full military honours. Col Brookfield, MP, was in command of the Rifles, assisted by Capt Farrell (adjutant), Major Westton, Capt Langham and several other officers. The Artillery, Naval Volunteers, and a contingent of the coastguards also joined in the procession, in addition to a strong deputation of the Hastings Foresters Court, of which the deceased was surgeon. The coffin was covered with the Union Jack, the plumed hat of the deceased being on top. The deceased's riderless horse was also in the procession, carrying his late masters saddle, boots, sword, etc.
Altogether the procession was a very imposing one. The rifle band played "The Dead March" en route to the cemetery. A large number of local doctors attended the ceremony, and others sent their carriages. The widow was escorted to the grave by Major Cafe (ex-adjutant of the 1st CPRV), a close friend of the deceased, and the other mourners were the two children of the departed one. Canon Sanderson conducted the service, at the conclusion of which three volleys were fired over the grave.
