THE first Head Master of St. Peter's College, to take which position he came out with Bishop Short. He returned to England, where he held a living near Shrewsbury, and afterwards at Pavenham, Bedfordshire, where he died. He is well-known to temperance advocates as the author of "Frank Oldfield," a prize tale of great merit, and the scene of the story was laid in this colony. Through the kte C. A. Wilson, his brother, the sons of the Rev. P. Wilson, who are recognised in literary circles as possessing much ability, have from time to time contributed most interesting accounts of their travels and experiences to the Adelaide press.
