BISHOP LENIHAN.
AUCKLAND, February 23. Bishop Lenihan, who has returned from a twelve months' tour of the world, was presented Inst night with various addresses and a cheque for £'312, the gift of the priests and people, the latter including- many members of other denominations. The Bishop, m his reply, said he had noted with satisfaction that during his absence, the people had made a step forward m the direction of promoting his cherished idea—namely, the raising of sufficient money to enable them to make all their Catholic schools free to the children. He would have great pleasure m presenting part, if not all, of the cheque they had that night given him as the nucleus towards the creation of a fund for the free education of the children.
