Son of Judge Hickman MOLESWORTH and Eliza Emily nee RUTLEDGE.
The death has occurred at Warrnambool Victoria, of Mr. William F. Molesworth, youngest son of Mrs. and the late Judge Molesworth. at the age of 52 years. The deceased was a man of brilliant attainments. His career as a law student at the University was a distinguished one, and he gave promise of a brilliant future. For many years he was looked upon as one of the ablest practitioners in Warrnambool. When the war broke out Mr. Molesworth volunteered for active service. He was accepted, and served for about two years in France. On his return, he resumed the practice of his profession, but latterly his health failed, and he had practically given up his business.
