Son of William Bindley and Jessie Russell Webb, Subiaco, Western Australia
On the 31st of October, Albert Bindley (Sailor), of Hutt Street, Adelaide, second son of the late William Bindley and Jssie Russell Webb (nee Maclaren) of Semaphore, Judge's Associate, and late 50th Battalion A.I.F. in his sixty first year.
The death occurred yesterday of Mr. A. Bindley Webb, formerly of Hutt street, Adelaide, at the age of 61. Mr. Webb, who was associate to Mr. Justice Napier, was the second son of the late Mr. William Bindley Webb, of the firm of Dempster, Webb & Dempster, Port Adelaide solicitors. Mr. A. B. Webb went to sea at the age of 13, and after his return was a student at St. Peters College. Subsequently he was apprenticed to the firm of Walter & Morris as a carpenter, but in 1900 he began to study law, and six years later was admitted to the Bar. He practised at Port Adelaide, Yorketown, and Riverton, and in 1915 was appointed associate to the late Mr. Justice Gordon. On the appointment of Mr. Justice Napier to the bench, Mr. Webb was appointed his associate, and held the position until his death. He enlisted with the 50th Battalion A.I.F. in the Great War, and was invalided home. He made extensive notes on legal questions and judgments, and members of the legal profession frequently went to him for references on cases. He has been in ill-health for some years.
