Mr. HENRY VINCENT BAYLY, Secretary to the Postal Department and Superintendent of Telegraphs, is the youngest son of the late Captain Benjamin Bayly, of the 21st Regiment, and in after years Commandant of Maria Island. He was born in Richmond district, Tasmania, in 1850, and was educated at Hutchins School, Hobart. In 1868, he entered the Government service, joining the Stores Department, From there he went to the Customs Department, and in 1875 was transferred to the Post Office, where he has remained ever since, and has worked his way up until, in 1894, he was appointed head of the department. Mr. Bayly is well known as a cricketer, and in his day ranked with the very best exponents of the game, having frequently represented Tasmania in contests with the other colonies. He was a very fast bowler, his deliveries being so lightninglike that he earned for himself the name of the demon bowler. In 1896 Mr. Bayly took a well-earned rest from his official duties, and had a three months' holiday trip. He was married in 1885 to Miss Bayley, of Runnymede, New Town, and has a family of four girls and two boys. Mr. Bayly is an ardent fisherman, and is at home with both rod and gun.[9]

Deceased was the youngest son of the late Captain Benjamin Bayly, of the 21st Regiment, and in after years Commandant of Maria Island. He was born in the Richmond District, Tasma-nia, in 1850, and was educated at Hutchins School, Hobart. In 1868 he entered the Government service, join-ing the Stores Department. From there he went to the Customs Department, and in 1875 was transferred to the Post Office, where he since remained, and worked his way up until in 1894 he was made head of the department, and on its transference to the Commonwealth, was appointed Deputy Postmaster-General for this state. It is only a few days ago that Mr. Bayly paid his last visit to Launceston, for he came north to meet the Secretary to the Central Administration (Mr R. T. Scott), who has just returned to the mainland after a short trip to Tasmania. Mr. Bayly was well known as a cricketer, and in his day ranked with the very best exponents of the game, having frequently represented Tasmania in contests with the other colonies. He was a very fast bowler, and hence on the cricket field earned for himself the name of "demon." In 1896 Mr. Bayly took a well-earned rest from his official duties, and had a three months' holiday trip. He was married in 1895 to Miss Bayly, of Runnymede, New Town, and leaves a family of four girls and two boys. Mr. Bayly was an ardent fisherman, and at home with both rod and gun.[10]
